WELCOME TO Dorset House School
PART OF THE LANCING COLLEGE FAMILY OF SCHOOLS
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.

We’ll be at the Parham Races & family fun day this Saturday 25th April, and as always it’s set to be such a lovely day out for families.
Keep an eye out for the Dorset House gazebo and do pop over to say hello. It’s always nice to meet families in person and have a chat.
There will be lots happening across the day, from horse and pony racing to terrier racing and the much-loved Lamb National, plus a dog show, funfair, shopping and plenty of food and drink.
If you’re heading along, do stop by and see us!
Tickets available via @parham_races_april (link in their bio)
There was great excitement at lunchtime today as, thanks to a huge effort from our kitchen team, we introduced a new three week menu.
There are lots of exciting new options along with some old favourites!
There were over 40 entries to our Easter Art Competition which was run by Iris, Art Scholar and Art Prefect.
There were lots of excellent entries and the winners were:
Year 3 & 4 - Killian
Year 5 & 6 - Poppy
Year 7 & 8 - Beau
Overall winner - Orla-Rose (Y4) with her lovely 3D Easter chicken coop.
Art continues to flourish at DH and our recent inspection report states, `Pupils attending art enrichment sessions produce high-quality work because of the teacher`s expertise and the opportunities they are given to develop their own ideas.`
Our next Open Morning will be in March 2026...
...but visitors are always welcome. Please call the school to arrange an appointment (01798 831456)
