We are owned and operated by Sherborne School, one of the world's leading Independent Schools. This gives us access to first-class facilities, including the boarding houses.
Our Junior House (King's House) is located at the Sherborne International Newell Campus which is split into a boys' wing and a girls' wing, with a capacity of 55 beds. Rooms are either single or double, and all have en-suite facilities. Staff who support the courses live in the boarding house so they can look after the students in their care, and all exit and entry points are controlled by automatic locks, which are on timers to ensure that student access is easily controlled.
Our Senior Houses are Sherborne School boarding houses, with girls and boys staying in separate buildings. Each house can accommodate a maximum of 70 students, with a mixture of small dorms (up to 6 beds), double rooms, and single rooms. Younger students will be placed in the small dorms and as they get older will stay in doubles and singles. All of the houses have large living areas, their own kitchens, games rooms, shared shower and toilet facilities (not en-suite) and spacious outside areas. Staff live in the boarding houses to ensure the students are well supervised, and access in and out of the buildings is controlled by automatic locks, which help with security.
All bed linen is provided for all of our courses, but students are asked to bring their own towels.
There is something special about living in a community seven days a week. Our students are with each other for work, study, play, and relaxation. Students form strong bonds in their short time with us, and come to value their Houses, seeing them as a place to call home – somewhere they are encouraged to be fully themselves and relish the fellowship of their friends. For an insight into our boarding provision, please see our virtual tour. All boarding houses are located within a 5-minute walk of the main school campus.
