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.

`How have you made division of yourself?

Year 8`s recent production of Twelfth Night was a huge success.
Every year, following exams, our Year 8 pupils perform a Shakespeare play.

Connie in Year 1 was a real star at the South of England Show.
She was in the Young Handlers class age 5-8 years and won a highly commended prize for her handling and knowledge of her (very badly behaved) Welsh pig which kept running away!
Well done, Connie and we wish you the very best of luck this week at the @royalnorfolkshow

What a brilliant day!
Records tumbled, parents talked tactics, picnics and ice cream were enjoyed and the winners were…Wilkinson! Congratulations to all the children,parents, our amazing sports staff - led by Mr Weaver and to our scorers, catering team and commentators- Mr Thomas and Mr Manley.

Our next Open Morning will be in September 2025...
