*CLOSURE*
Despite the main roads being clear, the school site itself is too icy for it to be safe for us to open today. We expect to be open as usual tomorrow.
19 Mar
We will provide a further update on whether we will open by 7.15am once the school site has been assessed.
18 Mar
Update: As the roads are mostly clear in Sherborne we are planning to open as normal tomorrow morning. If the conditions deteriorate or the advice from travel companies changes then we will update our website and social media accordingly.
18 Mar
Looking at the forecast, we think a snow day is unlikely tomorrow. But we will make a decision by 4pm today and will post it on our website and social media ❄️

Welcome
Nicki Edwards, Headteacher
We are very proud of our school which attracts students from around North and West Dorset as well as South Somerset. The School became an academy on 1 August 2012. We are a Church of England School, but as the secondary school for all children, our religious character is highly inclusive, embracing those of all faiths and of no faith.
