WELCOME TO Dorset House School
"...this is a school that really does empower"
(Tatler Schools Guide 2022)
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.

And that`s a wrap! Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 played to a packed Barn this afternoon and their rendition of `The Landlord`s Cat` was a triumph. Well done everyone and thank you to the staff who prepared them all for the performance.
If you are travelling from Pulborough station, do take a look at the DH Christmas tree. Billy, Finley, Henry and Iris from Year 6 decorated this yesterday and it is brightening up the waiting room for the south side platforms. Thank you to the Godfrey family who have kept us supplied with trees for many years!
It was all smiles as the children arrived this morning as our Parents` Association have gone to town with decorating this year. Not content with making the Barn look like a set from a Christmas Willy Wonka, they have even put some elves on the gate!
Our next Open Morning will be in March 2024
