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.

If you know DH, you will recognise this scene!
Year 3-8 Sports Day is in full swing…
A few things have changed this year as parents are here all day - complete with gazebos and picnics and the programme is via a QR code, but the atmosphere is, as it always has been, very jolly!
Will any records be broken and which house will win?

We are all enjoying this lovely weather and the woods have provided a cool space for the children to play at break times. There have been all the usual activities - den building, fairy houses and of course, trading in pine cones!

The Pre-Prep children were so excited as they came into school today as it is the Pre-Prep Science Morning!
Our Year 8 pupils, under the direction of Miss Goldfinch our Head of Science, have been assisting our youngest learners with exciting experiments.
Hands on Science has always been central to a DH education and it is wonderful to see the enthusiasm from our youngest to our oldest pupils.

Our next Open Morning will be in September 2025...
...but visitors are always welcome. Please call the school to arrange an appointment (01798 831456)
