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.

If you`re exploring Reception options for September 2027, or thinking about a change of school for your child between Reception and Year 8, we`d love to show you around Dorset House.
We`re a small, friendly school in Bury, between Pulborough and Arundel, with a lovely community of children, parents and staff.
We`re holding an Open Morning next Friday 13 November from 9–10.30am and everyone is welcome.
Come and have a look around with one of our Year 8 pupils, meet our Headmistress, Sarah Sutherland-Booth, and our teachers, and enjoy a coffee and some cake while you have a chat and ask any questions. There`s no pressure or commitment at all. Just come along, have a look and see what you think.
If you`d like to join us, simply register your interest via the link in our bio and our Head of Admissions, Jussie Yeats, will be in touch.
We`d love to meet you!
A beautiful autumn morning at DH as we welcome everyone back for the second half of term.
There’s something rather special about the school at this time of year 🍂
We do love a disco at DH! Fantastic costumes, face painting and some seriously good dance moves, including a group moonwalk and plenty of conga lines.
And Mrs Sutherland-Booth certainly loves an excuse to dress up! 🎃
A big thank you to our fabulous PA for organising such a fun event for the children.
What a fantastic way to end the first half of term. We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday and all that’s to come in the lead-up to Christmas.
Join us for our next Discovery Morning on Saturday 26th September.
We are always delighted to welcome visitors. To arrange a personal tour with our Headmistress, Mrs Sarah Sutherland-Booth, please click here to complete an enquiry form or call 01798 831456.
