Harper House

Housemaster

Nick Scorer

An Old Shirburnian, Nick read Chemistry at the University of Oxford and returned to Sherborne in 2005. He has served as Resident Tutor in School House and Senior Tutor in the Green. Nick is master-in-charge of Fives, and runs Crossfire, the School’s Christian meeting.

Nick lives in House with his wife, Kate – a History teacher at Sherborne Girls – and their daughters, Annie and Tilly.
 

Just five minutes from campus, Harper House sits in peaceful surroundings near Sherborne’s High Street. It offers the best of both worlds – close to school life, yet slightly removed, giving boys space to relax and recharge.

Harper has a reputation for quiet confidence and breadth of talent. Boys excel across academics, sport, music and drama, and every contribution is valued – from winning awards to offering a kind word to a peer.

The House has a strong sense of home. A large common room overlooks the garden, where summer barbecues are a regular highlight. There’s also a games room, a Sixth Form space and a library.
