Sherborne

Sherborne house is often where pupils go after being on Northleach. It can accommodate up to 7 pupils with almost all of them having a room to themselves. The house is next door to Aldsworth and shares a kitchen with them as well.
Sherborne is based over 3 floors and has an amazing garden at the back, which pupils can play in. They are also the closest house to the outdoor swimming pool, so in the summer they only have to open their front door and step outside to take a quick dip. There is also a BBQ in the garden which is perfect for those hot summer nights.

Mr Aiuto is an expert kayaking instructor and when the weather is warmer the boys get the chance to go kayaking on local rivers and to use a coracle, which the boys from the house built themselves, with a little help, in the local weir. He is also an expert first aider so should you ever cut yourself you can be sure that you are in safe hands. Mr Aiuto also provides the chance of learning camp skills by going into the local woods and learning how to build fires, cook their own food and learn how to survive in the wilderness.
