We were delighted to share all that is good at Sherborne Abbey school with the Ofsted team in June 2026, and are proud to have received this report.
As has been widely publicised, the Ofsted framework and inspection process has changed (as seen below), so we are very proud of our staff team, children and Abbey community for this glowing report. We would also like to express our thanks to the very fair and professional Ofsted team that inspected us – led by HMI James Gentile 🙏.

As a proud church school, our SIAMS inspection shares equal importance, and we are proud to share our most recent report:
“The thoughtful and considered way that the Christian vision has been refreshed ensures it meaningfully addresses the needs of the school community”
“The Christian vision inspires adults and pupils to seize the daily opportunities that are provided. This results in opportunities for all to flourish”
