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.

There was a huge surprise for Minnie in Year 7 this morning.
@andrewgriffithmp called in to let her know that she is the winner of his annual Christmas card competition with her beautiful study of Sunset in Petworth Park.
Well done, Minnie! We are all very proud of you.
Good luck to all our musicians who are taking @abrsmmusic exams today.
(We had so many entries that we had to ask for extra time!)
Our Art scholars have been working hard on their portfolios and we just had to share this piece with you. A hare - stitched by Iris in Year 8.
It was lovely to see how pleased she was with the finished piece - and rightly so!
With thanks to Mrs Harrison, our Head of Art who spends extra time with scholars and always encourages DH pupils to aim high with the quality of their work.
Our next Open Morning will be in March 2026...
...but visitors are always welcome. Please call the school to arrange an appointment (01798 831456)
