This is Your Home

At Sherfield, we offer full, weekly, and flexi boarding for students aged 9 to 18, creating a home away from home where pupils feel comfortable and part of the Sherfield family.

`Archer's Lodge, Sherfield’s boarding house, creates a welcoming community where students from diverse backgrounds bond and support each other.`

The common rooms offer comfortable living, dining, and kitchen spaces, while outdoor terraces provide social areas.

Weekends are filled with activities, helping boarders enjoy the school's countryside setting, close to both London and the coast. The boarding environment is described as a close-knit, family-like community where lasting friendships are built.
