North Foreland Lodge was a private boarding school for girls in England, originally established at North Foreland in Kent. Displaced from there by the Second World War, in 1947 it settled at Sherfield Manor in Sherfield on Loddon, Hampshire, until its closure in 2003 shortly after being acquired by another school, Gordonstoun.

In 2004 Gordonstoun sold the school site to a group of schools called Gems Education (an international company which runs schools in the Middle East), which converted it into a new mixed-sex independent school called Sherfield School.
