New Pupil appointments
The School Shop offers a full personal fitting service for new pupils, which takes approximately one hour. This is available by appointment on weekdays, including during the summer holiday period.
Please note that full payment is required for your daughter’s initial uniform purchase, although once the school year has begun, further purchases can be added to the school bill either by yourself or your daughter for items under £40 (your permission is required to exceed this limit).
To make your fitting appointment, please telephone +44 (0)1935 818211 or email schoolshop@sherbornegirls.group at your earliest convenience.

Nearly New Pre-loved,Uniform
The School Shop carries a limited stock of nearly new current uniform. This is available on a first come first served basis, but it must be noted that stock and sizes of particular items cannot be guaranteed. The normal selling price of nearly new items is approximately 60% of the cost of new items, although items are individually inspected and priced based on condition.
We are happy to accept donations of current, excellent condition, laundered items, for resale. All proceeds are donated to the Candlelight Bursary. Please contact the School Shop schoolshop@sherbornegirls.group to make your donation.
Shop Accounts
All items are available to purchase with cash, debit/credit card or charged to account. Purchases on account are made on production of a valid School Shop card.
All pupils are allocated an account when they arrive at Sherborne Girls. Accounts are automatically capped, with an allowance set at £250 (per term), for purchases of stationery, toiletries and tuck in the School Shop, as well as drinks and snacks at Queenie’s Café in the Merritt Centre and The Coffee Pod at Oxley Sports Centre.
Parents who wish to change their daughter’s allowance can email the Shop schoolshop@sherbornegirls.group with the desired amount. Limits can be adjusted (up or down) at any time during the school term. A further allowance for uniform purchases is in place. However, setting an allowance for uniform is not necessary as all single purchases over £30 require parental permission, which can be given via email, or a phone call.
All purchases made on account will be collated and included on the termly bill in the Extras Schedule.
Labelling
Everything brought to school must be clearly marked with name tapes. This includes: all uniform, home clothing, bedding and towels. Name tapes should show, at least, the pupil’s surname followed by their House initial (e.g. Bloggs RH). A supply of name tapes should be left with your daughter’s Matron for naming any uniform purchased during term time.
The School Shop offers a nametape sewing service (chargeable and for SG School Shop purchases only). This service is subject to availability.
Tuck boxes and trunks/suitcases should be clearly marked with the pupil’s name and House initial.
Books
All required class textbooks will be loaned to pupils by subject teachers. Loaned textbooks must be returned to the relevant department at the end of a school year or course. Failure to return textbooks or library books will result in a charge for the costs of replacement. If a textbook or set text requires annotation by the pupil, this will be charged for and the cost will appear on the subsequent bill. In this case, the pupil will retain the book.
Lacrosse Goggles
The wearing of goggles for lacrosse is mandatory for all players. A selection of goggles is available to purchase from the School Shop.
Mouthguards
All pupils who play lacrosse or hockey are required to have a mouthguard to protect their teeth. The Medical Officers of Schools Association sees danger in ill-fitting self-applied mouthguards, and we advise that to conform to the requirements of the sports authority, mouthguards should be individually fitted by a reputable dental technician after the mould has been made by a dental practitioner. Alternatively, at the start of the Michaelmas Term, we arrange for a company to come into school to fit OPRO mouthguards. The School Shop does sell self-fit mouthguards for times when this protection is lost or forgotten for games lessons.
