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.

The Pre-Prep was buzzing this afternoon as parents and grandparents enjoyed chatting to their children about the work they have been doing on their `Up, Up and Away` project.
The children were so excited to share their work and families enjoyed delicacies from some of the destinations including cheesecake, sushi and some delicious homemade ice cream.
Well done to all the children for keeping everyone entertained. This was a brilliant collaborative project with lots of work across the Year groups.
Brrrrr...
Our Year 8 pupils are enjoying their Geography field trip in Dorset. We are reliably informed that the field work is followed by essential hot chocolate stops.
We are delighted to welcome our new Gap students this week. Sarah, Jane and Alex join us from the rather warmer climes of New South Wales and Victoria, Australia.
They have been very excited to see snow for the first time this week and are enjoying getting to know the school and pupils and looking forward to some European travel during their year with us.
Our next Open Morning will be on Friday 14th March 2025
...but visitors are always welcome. Please call the school to arrange an appointment (01798 831456)
