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.

Our Year 7 & 8 pupils had a fantastic few days in France earlier this term! 🇫🇷
They explored the ramparts of Mont-Saint-Michel, visited a local market and took part in lots of different activities, including bread making, raft building, archery, aeroball and the assault course.
There were lots of opportunities to put what they’ve been learning with Madame Green into practice too, confidently speaking French with local shopkeepers, ordering crêpes and buying souvenirs. One shopkeeper was particularly impressed with their French!
And, of course, there was plenty of French food along the way, including poulet-frites, ratatouille et beaucoup de croissants! 🥐
A really lovely few days in France!
And what a day it was! ☀️
Thank you so much to all the families who joined us on Saturday for `A Day in the Life of DH`. It was wonderful to see the school buzzing, with so much to see, do and explore across the classrooms and grounds.
A very special day at Dorset House 💙
Our wonderful Reception teacher, Jess Lake, shares her approach to those all-important first years of school. From the power of play and continuous provision to creating an environment where every child can thrive.
If you’re exploring Reception options for your child, considering a move, or simply curious to discover more about Dorset House, come and experience the school for yourself at A Day in the Life of DH tomorrow.

There’ll be activities happening throughout the school, with Forest School, sport, science, music, art, cookery and plenty more for children to get involved in.
