Sedbergh Junior School has moved from Bentham to Sedbergh. This has
enhanced the academic, music and arts opportunities for its boys and girls,
through access to the Senior School's outstanding facilities and world-class
tutors. The move has also provided extensive on-site sports facilities, including
an astro turf pitch, indoor pool and armoury. Girls will particularly benefit from
a broader sports programme, which includes dance and horse-riding, and in
addition the influence of exceptional role models in our senior girls.
Sedbergh School buses run daily from Bentham,
Kendal, Kirkby Lonsdale, Lancaster, Penrith and
Windermere.
Day, weekly and flexi boarding for ages 7-13;
Pre-prep department for ages 4-6. Contact
Admissions on: +44 (0)15396 22295 or email
