Sherborne Area Schools' Trust
About Sherborne Area Schools' Trust
We are a family of 18 schools across Dorset and Somerset, working together to deliver educational excellence for all of the children within our communities.
Our Mission
Flourishing Children
At the heart of the vision are the children. SAST is dedicated to helping every child flourish —academically, emotionally, and socially. This involves fostering a supportive, inclusive environment where students feel safe, encouraged, and inspired to grow. By focusing on individual strengths, talents, and wellbeing, we aim to develop confident, capable young people who are prepared for the challenges and opportunities of life.
Flourishing Schools
Flourishing schools are learning communities. SAST recognises that strong, dynamic schools are essential for effective learning. We want our schools to be vibrant educational environments where leaders, teachers, and support staff, work collaboratively to deliver excellent outcomes. Through innovative teaching practices, continuous professional development, and a focus on wellbeing, SAST schools aim to be beacons of educational excellence, offering a holistic experience that goes beyond the classroom.
Flourishing Communities
SAST believes that schools are at the heart of their communities. When schools thrive, so do the neighbourhoods and families around them. The “Flourishing Communities” aspect of our mission emphasises the role of schools as hubs of local life, fostering strong relationships with parents, local organisations, and businesses. By engaging with and contributing to the community, SAST hopes to create a cycle of positive impact, where education not only benefits individuals but strengthens the community.
Together, these three pillars encapsulate SAST’s commitment to creating an environment where everyone can flourish in harmony.
Our schools are in one of the most beautiful regions of the country, with Sherborne itself being described as ‘one of the most drop-dead-gorgeous towns in the country’ and having the feel of ‘a small cathedral city’. It is a centre of excellence for education with a wide range of state and private schools in the area. There are easy road and direct rail links to London, Bath, Bristol, Exeter and the glorious Dorset coast and countryside. It is a great area in which to live, offering something for everyone.
