WELCOME TO Dorset House School
"...this is a school that really does empower"
(Tatler Schools Guide)

Welcome
At Dorset House, we aim to provide a magical prep school experience for our pupils in an environment where children are engaged, enthused and inspired. We are often described as a greenhouse not a hot house and we find that pupils grow in confidence in our high challenge/low threat atmosphere.
Our committed and talented staff foster close links between home and school and we know every child well, meaning that we are aware of any successes achieved or issues they are facing.
Our optional flexi and weekly boarding for our Prep children, promote independence.
Happy, confident – not arrogant young people, who can relate to and communicate with others – Dorset House children often win awards and scholarships to senior schools and regularly going on to hold positions of responsibility.
Prospective parents often comment on the warmth of this school and if that is something which is important to your family, please call to make an appointment to visit us. We look forward to meeting you.

More excellent chess news!
James in Year 8 won the recent IAPS chess championships - winning all six games. He was also part of the winning team when the National Chess Junior Squad visited the Czech Republic over Easter. Congratulations James - we are all so proud of you!
(Here is James (top left) with the rest of the squad as they waited for their flight to the Czech Republic.)

As Shakespeare`s birthday is celebrated around the world today, we look back to last year`s Year 8 productions of Macbeth and Much Ado About Nothing.
Every year, following exams, our leavers rehearse for a Shakespeare production.
We are looking forward to this year`s production of Twelfth Night in June.

Our next Open Morning will be on Friday 14th March 2025
