The Headmaster Hugo Harper had asked him to establish a junior house at the school to educate younger boys.

All Pre-Prep children take part in some form of physical activity every day including aerobics, gymnastics, tennis, hockey, netball, rounders, football, tag rugby and athletics.

The school has six core values: kindness, perseverance, awareness, generosity, honesty, and independence.

The boarding house is located within the centre of the school and is a co-ed facility with girls and boys sharing joint common rooms, overseen by a Housemaster, his wife and three young children who live in separate accommodation within the boarding house.

The grounds also contain a playground, pond dipping area, an Astro Turf, 2 x netball courts and a large sports field.

Sherborne Prep featured in an ITV documentary Boarding Schools: The Secret Shame with broadcaster and journalist Alex Renton in February 2018.

The report raised questions regarding his suitability as headmaster, yet despite this Lindsay remained in post for another five years.

But the chair at the time, Robin Peverett, did not assist, and according to reports in Devon Live the teacher was “warned off and threatened”.

Peverett, headmaster of Dulwich Preparatory School until his retirement in 1990, later admitted nine counts of indecent assault on girls and a boy aged 11 to 13 between 1969 and 1978 and received an 18-month suspended sentence.

IISCA recognised that despite having the same name, that the School under investigation was owned by a proprietorial Headmaster, Robin Lindsay, and is now closed.
