We have a National Champion!
Iyla in Year 1 is the new National 40cm Champion! 🏆
She rode two beautiful rounds on her pony Spirit - winning both the Warm-Up Class and the Championship Class – an incredible achievement for Iyla and for DH at the NSEA National Championships at Hickstead.
In the 50cm, Tiggy (who has just joined Year 9 Brighton College) and Archie (Year 3) were fantastic, finishing 6th in the team event and Archie was 6th individually.
Tiggy also rode a brilliant round in the 60cm – not placing this time, but a huge achievement to qualify and compete at that level.
Well done to all our riders – we are so proud of you!

Join us for our next Open Morning on Friday 26th September - 9.30 am to 11.30 am.
Tour the school with our Year 8 guides and meet staff over a cup of coffee.
Some tours are already full so please call or email (sobrien@dorsethouseschool.com) to book.
We look forward to meeting you and your children.

While the rest of the school were settling into their new classes, Year 7 and 8 had a great start to the school year in Normandy, embracing opportunities such as canoeing, orienteering, fencing and climbing - showing enthusiasm and practising their French throughout. A special highlight was the visit to Gold Beach at Arromanches and the British Memorial which gave them a powerful glimpse into history.
