History

In 2014, due to financial difficulties, the headmistress was made to resign and Ali Khan, owner of several for-profit private schools, became the new head of the governors.[3] At some point later, Alpha Schools Ltd, Mr Khan's company, bought Sherrardswood School.[4]

John Clements

John Clements (GC), a schoolmaster at the school, was posthumously awarded the George Cross on 7 December 1976 for actions during a school ski trip that saved the lives of thirty-seven children.[5]
