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.

As the children head home for the weekend, the Manor is beginning to look a little bit Christmassy.
Thank you to our amazing PA who have decorated the Barn with masses of greenery and freshly picked mistletoe.
Year 4 have been fully immersed in Tudor life this term and to round things off, they enjoyed a Tudor Forest School session with Miss Fentiman on this cold and frosty morning.
They made clay Tudor roses, bows and arrows and purses and a huge vat of delicious vegetable pottage for lunch.
Thanks to Mrs White and Mrs Twinley for all the preparation which went into this and project.
Thank you @images.by.soph for a fantastic and fun day of photography on Monday.
We can`t wait to see the results but here is just a taste of the video which was shot alongside the stills.
(Excellent work from Mickey (Y3) who only started having drum lessons this term).
It was great to see a snippet from Sophie`s work @lancingprep.hove too!
Our next Open Morning will be in March 2026...
