We are honoured to announce that in Caroline’s name, her family and friends have donated monies to the Sherborne Association UK to be available to participants who want to follow in her path and train as an Internationally Qualified Course Leader (IQCL). If you want to find out more about how you apply for funding to support your training in SDM – please contact SA UK. This bursary is only available for training after session 6 of the 12 session SDM training model.

Caroline first encountered Sherborne Developmental Movement (SDM) on a course run by Cyndi and George Hill at Sunfield School. What she discovered that day led her to train as an Internationally Qualified Course Leader. Caroline was secretary of the Sherborne Association for 5 years. Caroline embodied SDM in her excitement, enthusiasm and determination to share her love of moving in the Sherborne way to help others. Caroline appreciated the breadth of SDM, working with adults and children alike. Part of the legacy she has left is to help others access this training by giving financial support through a bursary in her name. This is a wish expressed by her husband Dave and her two daughters, Isobel and Briony.

“Children have two basic needs; they need to feel at home in their own body, and they need to be able to build relationships.”
Veronica Sherborne 1990

Sherborne Developmental Movement is a method of working in which the movement is securely based in normal developmental movement experiences. It was developed by Veronica Sherborne in the later part of the twentieth century. It is an inclusive approach to teaching and working with movement and one that is well grounded in Laban’s Movement Theory, which has been developed over a period of 40 years.

In Caroline’s own words:
“SDM enables me to offer movement challenges … .in an enjoyable and creative way, through experiences with others…promoting and developing self confidence and esteem, and communication skills…and facilitates the making of different types of relationships through moving with others in a safe, trusting atmosphere and environment.”
