Pastoral care is exceptional!

Both our children have had an excellent experience. Very pleasing results at GCSE and opportunities outside of the classroom to develop creatively and independently.

“Highly recommend”

28 November 2024 AUTHOR: A Parent

Impressed by the strong leadership at school, great teaching and overall organisation. My son loves school, and we would not hesitate to recommend it to other parents

“Excellent extra curricular offer”

We have two children at Sherfield and they couldn't be happier. The range of extra-curricular opportunities is exceptional.

We are extremely happy to have our son at Sherfield. He loves coming to school, we notice that he feels better about himself and the feedback from his teachers and support staff is positive.

“Wonderful Teachers”

22 January 2024 AUTHOR: A Parent

“I can’t believe how my children want to come home to do more study around certain topics sometimes! There are a lot of encouraging wonderful teachers at Sherfield that truly motivate!” Year 5 and Year 9 Parent

“An extension of home”

14 November 2023 AUTHOR: A Parent

“My son enjoyed coming to school for all the years he has been with Sherfield and still enjoys school now. We view Sherfield as an extension of home.” Year 12 Parent

“*****”

04 October 2023 AUTHOR: A Parent

“The school provides a strong, safe environment for my child with the ability for the child to take responsibility, and independence around the school. The teaching staff I believe are motivated, and excited by their subjects, which is key in order for pupils to learn, they’re keen to pass on their knowledge and teach, which creates positivity, a child who feels comfortable to raise their hand and enjoy learning.” Year 9 parent

“A great environment!”

24 September 2023 AUTHOR: A Parent

“We feel it is a great environment for learning and growing up. The smaller class sizes mean that the teachers get to know the students well, and the wide range of non-curricular activities through the enrichment programme and clubs is great.”

“Outstanding School”

21 August 2023 AUTHOR: A Parent

“Sherfield School is an outstanding school. With a strong, dedicated team of teachers which blends through to the confident, thriving and highly capable children we get the pleasure of admiring every day.” Reception Parent

“Highly Recommend”

21 August 2023 AUTHOR: A Parent

“Our kids have attended Sherfield since Nursery and are developing into well rounded young people with good moral compasses. This is all to do with their teaching and the philosophy and ethos of the school. They have good moral values. I think it’s an excellent environment and would not hesitate to recommend the school.” Year 5 and Year 9 Parent

“Far greater than just a school”

24 March 2023 AUTHOR: A Parent

Our daughter has been at Sherfield School since she was six months old. Now fast approaching her teens she has grown into a kind, enthusiastic and conscientious student under Sherfield’s guidance. The teachers care about the students and want them to succeed and are fully committed to helping them achieve their goals. Of course it’s not all hard work! Sherfield school boosts the most beautiful setting to learn, play and grow up in. With acres of green space, woodland and even a lake. There’s an abundance of extra curricular activities alongside a timetabled exciting enrichment programme. Whilst being an academically strong school sports enthusiasts will also be very much at home at Sherfield. Our daughter is extremely happy at Sherfield School and we are proud to be part of the Sherfield family. Sherfield School is far greater than just a school....come see for yourself!

“You are all amazing”

15 September 2021 AUTHOR: A Parent

I cannot thank you enough for all the support you give our children. We could not ask for more. You are all amazing.

“What a school!”

05 July 2021 AUTHOR: A Parent

What a school! My child is a different child since joining Sherfield. He actually now loves school. The setting is stunning, there is a great balance with sport and academic learning. Staff are extremely friendly and professional. They are clearly getting it right!

“Impressed and inspired”

07 May 2021 AUTHOR: A Parent

I would like to extend our sincere thanks to all of our son's tutors. I have had the privilege of overhearing some of his tutorials which I have been really impressed and even inspired with. The quality of teaching and engagement with him has been excellent and we would wish to congratulate all the staff for their outstanding delivery in teaching.

“The gift of confidence”

30 April 2019 AUTHOR: A Parent

Our daughter started in nursery and went through to prep. Sherfield really helped guide our daughter, giving her the confidence to meet the challenges of a new school head on - and with smiles.

“Brilliant communication”

12 September 2018 AUTHOR: A Parent

I wanted to thank you for the brilliant communication between the school and the parents. We are very grateful for it. Our son is delighted to be in Pre-Reception; thank you very much for all your kindness and care for him. He has thoroughly enjoyed all the activities you have been planning for the children. Pre-Reception Parent

“Our daughter is thriving – Mrs P”

07 November 2017 AUTHOR: A Parent

I just wanted to take this opportunity to let you know how delighted I am with the nursery provision provided to my children. Our daughter is thriving beyond any expectation in pre-reception, driven by an incredible team of teachers who know exactly how to motivate and care for the children. The communication delivered to the parents, whether it be verbal or via email, is absolutely fantastic and always well received. Our son is settling in marvellously, yet again led by an exceptional team of teachers who leave you filled with no doubt that your child is being cared for and looked after. Their commitment to ensuring our son is settling well and the support given to parents for a smooth transition is beyond that seen in other local settings. Furthermore I couldn’t be happier in our choice of nursery for our children, providing them with the best start in life.

“Positive Year 11 Parent”

12 October 2017 AUTHOR: A Parent

I had been to the Sixth Form centre before, but it took on a very different vibe with some of the students there. They were such an inspiring and positive group of young people - a real credit to themselves and to how the centre is run. I have always envisaged my son staying on at Sherfield School for Sixth Form but I now feel more confident that he will want to stay and not be tempted by the appeal of other colleges. I, along with many of the other parents, came away from the information evening with a very positive feeling about our children's future at Sherfield, so thank you again to all involved.

“Our son is flourishing here - Year 1 Parent”

02 October 2017 AUTHOR: A Parent

We are so thankful to you for creating an environment where children are able to flourish in all areas of their lives. They are supported by masterful teachers and staff to face challenges in their lives. So, a huge ‘thank you’ should be said to you and all of your staff in Pre-Prep for allowing our son to have had such a wonderful start to his school life. Onwards into Year Two!
