ADMISSIONS FORInternational Students
Welcome to Sherfield School, where our vibrant international community enriches the educational experience for all.
We are delighted to welcome students from across the globe, bringing diverse perspectives and cultures into our classrooms and beyond. At Sherfield, we believe that the inclusion of international students not only enhances our learning environment but also prepares all our students to thrive in a globally connected world.
We offer online interviews and assessments if overseas students aren’t able to visit the UK to complete the admissions process in person.
Sherfield School is located between two major motorways, the M4 and M3, with travel times of less than one hour from Heathrow or Gatwick Airports. The school is near mainline trains for easy access to London. Our students enjoy a peaceful rural Hampshire setting with easy access for family visits.
We invite you to become part of our international community at Sherfield School. With our commitment to academic excellence, outstanding support services, and a welcoming environment, we are confident that you will have a rewarding and enriching experience. For more information or to arrange a visit, please contact our admissions@sherfieldschool.co.uk or fill in our enquiry form.

Once registered, students living overseas are invited to come to the UK for a taster including an overnight stay in our boarding house, if they are prospective boarders. For students where English is their second language, they undertake a Maths test and PASSWORD English test to gauge their levels in both subjects, under exam conditions, invigilated by their current school or where applicable, an Agent. This is followed by a virtual interview with a member of our Senior Leadership Team. This meeting is an important opportunity for the student to learn more about Sherfield and for the us to gain a sense of a prospective student's character and aspirations as well as their academic potential, interests and talents. |
