The School
The school's origins date back to the 8th century, but it was refounded by King Edward VI in 1550. The library, chapel and Headmaster's block were once Abbey buildings. Nowadays some of the school buildings are spread over the town of Sherborne, but all are within 5 minutes' walk of the main buildings. There have been numerous modern additions to provide excellent facilities including outstanding libraries and a superbly-equipped purpose-built Careers Department. There is considerable mixing on a social level with Sherborne School for Girls.
