Charity & Community Outreach

This term has seen the boys doing a great deal for charity. The boys wanted to do a Sleepout in aid of the Turkey/Syria earthquake, and raised an incredible £9,000. There have been some excellent individual efforts made by the staff at the London Marathon, and various half marathons for all sorts of different charities.

At the end of this term the boys were keen to support a charity helping the war in Ukraine, so our music concerts are in aid of a charity supporting the rebuilding of a school in the Chernihiv region.

The Youth Community Hub has continued to go from strength to strength this term, with our boys meeting with students from all the other schools across Sherborne (Sherborne Girls, The Gryphon, Sherborne Abbey Primary, Sherborne Primary, and Sherborne Prep School) to discuss youth matters across the town One of the ideas that has come from the pupils is to have a clothing swap shop, making it easier to get clothes reused, and helping out those in need. Ensuring less ends up in landfill is also an important environmental factor The next exciting opportunity is starting up a Student Council across the town, and in conjunction with the Town Council
