A Church of England Voluntary Controlled Sports College

Shaftesbury School is a thriving 11-18 voluntary controlled school set high above the Blackmore Vale on the edge of the ancient and picturesque town of Shaftesbury.

Since 1999 it has held Specialist Sports College status, and is the only maintained school in Dorset to offer boarding education.

We hope this site provides you with both a sense of what life in our school is like and with the information you are seeking.

We would be delighted to welcome you to the school, and if you would like to arrange a visit to see the school at work, please contact us.
