At Sedbergh we agree that the purpose of education is the making of the adult, the formation of the individual. More than that, it is equipping the individual to make him or herself. It is about learning to be yourself, and more than you thought you could be. This is the essence of Sedbergh. Our pupils are presented with an unrivalled breadth of challenges as individuals and in teams. Set in the most spectacular of locations in the Howgill Fells on the boundary of the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales national parks, their collective response is a wholehearted embrace of these opportunities. The same climate of confidence exists in our classrooms where teachers of the highest calibre act as academic role models rather than mere academic pathfinders. Intellectual challenge is coupled with intellectual courtesy so that every opinion is considered for what it is worth. An extensive outreach programme avoids any sense of isolation and Sedbergh enjoys close links with Cambridge colleges, premier sports clubs and music colleges. Nine boarding Houses create the backbone of the school where our community is nurtured and values passed from one generation to the next. Sedberghians are proud of their identity and the intensity of experience that binds us together transforms achievement from a gift bestowed by others into a habit for life. This is how Sedberghians alter the trajectory of their lives. This is how we create a climate of success. This is what makes Sedbergh special.

Sedbergh Junior School is now known as Casterton, Sedbergh Preparatory School, and will appear under a separate listing.
