Leweston School

Leweston School is an independent co-educational day and boarding school in the heart of Dorset, welcoming pupils aged 5 to 18. Set on a beautiful 50-acre estate near Sherborne, it offers an exceptional breadth of opportunity within a genuinely personal environment where boarding pupils thrive. For boarding pupils, Leweston provides something that matters enormously to military families: consistency. Whether a child arrives mid-year, has changed schools before, or simply needs a place that feels like home, Leweston’s small class sizes and strong pastoral team mean every pupil is known, supported, and stretched.


Boarding at Leweston is flexible and genuinely family-feel. A range of boarding options means arrangements can be tailored to fit the realities of service life, including deployment periods and changing postings. Leweston is also a 10%+ school which, combined with its accessible fee structure makes it an attractive option for families. Academically, Leweston delivers strong results within a broad and enriching curriculum. Beyond the classroom, pupils benefit from an exceptional activities programme.


Leweston is one of only a handful of Modern Pentathlon Talent Hubs in the UK and is home to the Leweston Chedington Riding Academy, combined with outdoor education, music, drama, and sport this provides every pupil with a full, purposeful life. Leweston is a school where children settle quickly, build lasting friendships, and leave well-prepared for the world.

Small enough to know every pupil, ambitious enough to challenge them all—independent thinking, individual support.
