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 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.
Our Friday boarding night in October saw the boarders head to @lancing_college for a swim in their fantastic new pool, followed by their famous pizzas for dinner and then back to the DH Manor for a film.
The following morning, parents joined us for breakfast, with the sunshine showing off the views across the South Downs from our terrace.
We`re already looking forward to our next Friday boarding night at the end of November and seeing what Mr Manley has planned.
Interested in finding out more about boarding at Dorset House? Join us for our Open Morning on Friday 13 November. Book your place via the link in our bio.
The Year 7 Business Enterprise project always brings great excitement and plenty of creativity, and this year’s Enterprise Day was no exception. There was plenty of sewing, printing, rolling, gluing and decorating as the children worked on a wonderful range of handmade items to sell to raise money for their chosen charity.
Business Enterprise forms part of the Year 7 and 8 curriculum, giving pupils the opportunity to develop their business skills, from planning and making their products to quality control, marketing, selling and running their own stall.
A big thank you to Mrs Manger and Mrs Sutherland-Booth for organising the morning, and to Mrs Harrison, Mr Arbuthnot and some of our Year 7 parents who kindly came along to help.
We’re looking forward to our next Enterprise Day and seeing everything come together ahead of Arundel Farmers’ Market, our Nativity, Christmas Concert and Christmas Fair.
