Welcome to
Sherborne Abbey
Primary School

  Head of School: Mrs Lisa Thompson

On behalf of the children, the staff team and our Local Governing Body, I would like to bestow a very warm welcome to Sherborne Abbey CE Primary School! As a church school our Christian values underpin all aspects of school life and are the foundation of our welcoming and inclusive school community. We truly believe that:

‘This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it’

(Psalm 118:20)

At Sherborne Abbey CE Primary School we value each and every one of our children as individuals, and every member of our team is committed to providing a rich learning environment. We embrace all areas of learning and are particularly proud of the fact that we fully celebrate success in sport, art and performing arts as important aspects of a child’s development, alongside an excellent foundation in English and Maths.

Our children benefit hugely from high quality teaching and learning provided by our very experienced team, a wide range of after school clubs, and wrap around childcare provision that enables working parents to juggle family life.

An integral part of being a church school for us, is to teach and encourage our children to live their lives with a moral compass, and use our Christian values to help our children understand how they can do the right thing every day.

I am very proud to be the Head of School here at Sherborne Abbey, and would love to show you around and let you experience a true Abbey welcome for yourself.

SIAMS report praises our strong Christian vision

Sherborne Abbey Primary School’s Christian vision has been highly praised following a recent SIAMS inspection. Psalm 118:24 “This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in...

Sherborne Abbey CE Primary School is a large purpose built primary school situated on Lenthay Road in Sherborne. We have a beautiful school, with extensive grounds that include a pond and wildlife area, a forest school, sports pitches and hard courts, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Dorset countryside.

Our ethos at Sherborne Abbey is to celebrate and be glad in every day, and our visitors comment on the warm welcome they receive from everyone in the Abbey family. 

Our aim is for all our children to leave us as happy, confident and independent individuals with a positive Christian outlook on life and the resilience to take on their next challenge.

I trust this website will give you a taste of our school, as well as providing up to date information for Parents/Carers, Pupils and our wider Community.

I do hope that you enjoy browsing through our website, and that you find the information you are looking for, but if there is anything you can’t find or that we can help with, please contact the school office directly to ask for further information, a free paper copy of information on the website, or to arrange a visit to experience a true Sherborne Abbey welcome 🙏.
