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.

Our U13 football team played their final game against @cottesmore_school and for Lucas, it was particularly memorable as he scored his first goal for the first team - a penalty into the top corner! Congratulations Lucas and well done to the whole team who have now moved into the rugby season.

Thank you to everyone who supported our Year 7s at @arundel_farmers_market on Saturday.
The class did so well - selling all the items they had made and receiving great feedback from other stallholders and members of the public.
They have already met their target of raising £1000 for @ruthstraussfoundation and will be taking another stall at our Parents` Association Christmas Market at Dorset House on Saturday 23rd November.
They hope to see you there.
