Health and Welfare

All good boarding schools accept that they are responsible for their students for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In the College we do more than this.

We never forget that our parents may live thousands of miles from Sherborne and we pay great attention to the health and welfare of the children in our care. We look after your children just as carefully as if they were our own.

We have two residential matrons who work at the College and one non-residential matron. If a child does not feel well, he or she goes to see Matron. Usually she can deal with everyday problems, the sort of problems a mother will deal with at home. But if Matron thinks that the case may be more serious, she will take the child to the School Doctor.

At all times our students can be sure of receiving the best medical attention. There are separate areas in the Health Centre (school hospital) for boys and girls should they need to stay there overnight or for a few days.
