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.

We were thrilled to welcome ex-pupil, Beatrice back to Dorset House this afternoon as one of a group of six @lancing_college Music Scholars.
We enjoyed varied performances including pieces on the accordion and French horn.
Thank you to Mr Mason for bringing these talented students. They have certainly inspired their audience!
Every Friday, we hold a Celebration Assembly and each week, certificates are awarded:
Special Mentions are given for anything from academic achievement to acts of kindness.
Sports Awards mark particular achievement in lessons or matches.
Congratulations to all our award winners.
Our next Open Morning will be in March 2026...
