Adventure & Leadership

The co-curriculum is key to developing a boy’s character. Through Adventure & Leadership we will purposefully create opportunities for boys to develop virtues such as resilience and empathy.

At Sherborne Boys, adventure and leadership are woven into the fabric of School life. From the CCF to the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, and from climbing walls to the wilds of Dartmoor, boys, often together with pupils from Sherborne Girls, are encouraged to explore their limits, grow in confidence, and discover the value of teamwork, perseverance, and self-belief.

These opportunities help shape well-rounded young men – adventurous in spirit, grounded in character, and ready to take the lead.

Leading Through Challenge —

Whether navigating Dartmoor, leading a CCF section, or climbing a cliff face on Portland, Sherborne boys grow through challenge. These experiences help shape young men who are not only physically capable, but also emotionally intelligent, team- minded, and ready to lead with integrity.

Leadership at Sherborne is not just taught – it is lived.

In these adventurous settings, boys learn to support others, take responsibility, and persevere when things get tough. The results are profound: confidence, character, and a lifelong appetite for growth.
