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.

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

A few photos from our annual Art and DT Exhibition.

Each year, every child from Reception to Year 8 has a piece of Art or DT work on display, making it a wonderful celebration of creativity across the whole school. It was lovely to welcome families to view the exhibition before the Summer Concert and see the imagination, skill and hard work that had gone into every display.

A wonderful Dorset House tradition and always such a special evening.

No challenge is ever too big for Mr Arbuthnot and the Year 7 DT class!

To celebrate Headmistress Sarah Sutherland-Booth`s first 100 days at Dorset House, some of the Year 7 pupils set to work designing, 3D printing and sewing a very special Dorset House medal.

Mrs Sutherland-Booth had no idea what was coming and was completely surprised when she was presented with her very own medal at the end of the Prep Sports Day prize giving.

A thoughtful gift for a very special Headmistress 💙

We celebrated another wonderful Prize Giving, bringing our DH community together one final time before the summer holidays.

As Mrs Sutherland-Booth reminded us, "Be the best you can be" doesn`t mean fitting into a particular mould. It means thinking for yourself, being yourself and becoming the very best version of who you are.

We didn`t only celebrate academic success but also the qualities that matter just as much: effort, progress, resilience, creativity and kindness. Because success isn`t about being the best. It`s about becoming better.

Congratulations to all of our prize winners, including those recognised with our `Be The Best You Can Be` Cups for their consistent effort throughout the year.

We also enjoyed musical performances from our pupils, said some heartfelt farewells to members of staff, celebrated our Year 8 leavers and congratulated our newly appointed Heads of School. It was a fitting end to another fantastic year at DH!
