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.

Mr Bardouleau, our Pastoral Lead, has organised a jam-packed programme of activities for everyone during Children`s Mental Health Week @_place2be)These include dance and relaxation sessions, art activities and of course, lots of sport!
The children in Years 3 - 8 will run a mile in their games lessons and on Friday, a hardy group of staff and parents will undertake a 10K run from the top of the Downs to school.

Did you know that netball is England`s biggest female team sport?
Dorset House girls enjoy Netball Club from Year 1 and weekly matches from Year 3.
Last week, our Year 5 and 6 girls enjoyed matches against St Philip`s Catholic Primary School and tomorrow, we are looking forward to welcoming 7 local primary schools for our third Arun Valley Schools tournament.

Lucas in Year 8 has prepared a wonderful portfolio and he enjoyed showing it to some of his friends at Art Club. HIs portrait of Amber, our Headmaster`s dog, is such a great likeness!
Congratulations, Lucas!
