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.

A brilliant afternoon of athletics at @hurstsport earlier this week for our Year 5, 7 & 8 girls, competing against 15 other schools.

The girls represented the school superbly, showing great determination, encouragement and team spirit throughout the competition.

Special mentions go to Edie for winning the 600m in an impressive time and to our fantastic Year 5 relay team who powered through to win their heat.

Follow along to see the wide variety of sports, activities and competitions the children at DH take part in throughout the year, with such enthusiasm, enjoyment and fantastic achievements, all whilst developing a genuine love of sport. 🏏🏇⛳️
