A day and boarding school for girls and boys aged 4 to 18 in Shebbear, Devon

Open Events & Visits

The best way to discover more about Shebbear College is to come and see us.

We hold a series of Open Events every year and you are also encouraged to come on an individual visit. This can be arranged at any time throughout the year, and includes a tour of the school with our Head, Mr Jenkins.

The difference in self belief and confidence that our son has gained from attending Shebbear is amazing, and this is truly a credit to the school ethos. I just wish we had discovered Shebbear before sending our other children to secondary school.
I am sure it would have made a huge difference to their lives.

Taster Days

Prospective pupils of all ages are asked to come on at least one Taster Day before they join us, which enables them to experience school life, meet teachers and fellow pupils and get a feel for the school. Children are also welcome to stay overnight if they would like to experience our boarding facilities.   During the Taster Day our teachers will be able to informally observe your child in order to make sure that our school would be a good fit for them and that they would
be happy here.


Group Taster Days

We also hold a group Form 1 Taster Day each November where all Year 6 pupils can spend a day as a Senior School student, and ‘A Day in the Life of a Sixth Former’ which is a chance for Year 11 pupils to experience a day as a Shebbear Sixth Former.
