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.

We have been blown away by the warmth, devotion and dedication of your staff and you have all given our daughter the best possible start.

Parent

You are providing a wholesome and nurturing education that a lot of schools say they provide but the reality is not everyone can do it as well.

Parent

It’s Local, it’s outstanding in its facilities and teaching, it’s beautiful, and small enough to care…

…..the kids absolutely love the place and you get the feeling that the staff love working there. That’s golden.

The core values of DH are what most people want for their child. It’s a kind and gentle place…it encourages and nurtures, and your child is a valued member of the whole school

Everybody gets a go….and Art, Drama and music are given tremendous focus…

Parents reckon this is a school that really does empower

The 2024 - 2025 informal concert season has begun.
And what a great start! 
Year 1 were super excited to be performing in the Barn for the first time and they were brilliant. 
Every child had a line to themselves and as Mr Marconi pointed out, this is the first step on an eight year journey and by the time this group reach the top of the school, they will be playing instruments galore and tackling ambitious pieces of music.
But for now, who doesn't love a rousing version of Nicky, Nocky, Nacky, Noo?!
For World Mental Health day last week, children were invited to wear an item of yellow clothing to support @youngmindsuk charity.

Tiggy (charities and events prefect) and Lilla (wellbeing prefect) organised a 'guess how many sweets in the jar' competition for the whole school at break time. 

Year 5 and 6 enjoyed World Mental health day themed activities in Form Time before Year 5 tackled the mind boosting workout by @thebodycoach, Joe Wicks.
There are just six weeks to go before our Parents' Association Christmas Market.
They look forward to welcoming you.
