Why Sherfield School? It's a good question and one that we hope you will be able to answer once you begin to look around this website and come in for a tour.
We are an outstanding, all-round academic, active and creative school and offer a whole education for boys and girls from all over the world, whether they be 3 months or 18 years. Having a diverse demographic of pupils in the School is a fantastic opportunity for collaboration through peer-to-peer learning and is one of the reasons why our pupils enter the world well-rounded and prepared.
The school has an inclusive family feel to it and most parents will tell you how much their children have grown in confidence and progressed because of this.
So, what makes us unique?
We have an extraordinary, thriving enrichment programme. We believe enrichment promotes employability, academic attainment and teaches pupils the skills they need to make good, informed choices. A successful enrichment program can promote the life-skills needed for everyday life, develop “soft skills” that employers and universities look for, while also giving pupils the opportunity to find out more about their interests and passions.
Pupils are able to choose from a wide range of activities in consultation with their parents. There is something for everyone and most importantly, an opportunity for them to track their progress and maintain a permanent record of achievement.
"Enrichment, enrichment, enrichment! Friday afternoons are given over to Enrichment, a set period where children work towards their AVP Diploma (the school’s motto is Ad Vitam Paramus – Prepared for Life). Tasks include learning practical skills, running businesses and supporting the local community (art students recently painted a mural in a hospice. Pupils can also choose to study an extra GCSE in a specialist subject.
Extra-curricular clubs are extraordinarily extensive, with origami, nature detectives, mindfulness, ceramics and more."

We also have a huge amount of parent support with active parent liaisons in each year group, a fantastic parents' association with plenty of all-year-round events, a parents’ café and parents' social media groups.
"I must say all the communication, updates, Parentmail messages, Facebook and Instagram posts are fabulous. It is so nice to be at a school where the communication between parents and school is so great."
