A Word from the Head

Click here to view a larger photo
DORSET HOUSE SCHOOL is a happy, friendly, caring school for boys and girls, aged between 3 and 13, based on Christian principles with a family-centred ethos. It is a structured but loving environment with a fine reputation for giving the individual the opportunity to experience and explore all areas of the curriculum. In recent years, the school has adopted a rigorous approach to academic achievement whilst maintaining its reputation for sporting, musical and artistic endeavour. It is my intention, as the School’s new Head, to continue to build on these excellent foundations.

Dorset House aims to answer individual educational needs and to inspire pupils with a desire to learn. These aims are achieved through our stimulating, varied and balanced curriculum in which independent learning skills are emphasized and where children are given the confidence to exceed their expectations.

We believe that the challenges offered by Dorset House enable our children to embrace the opportunities that lie ahead and will prepare them for a demanding future.

The key qualities of a Dorset House education are:

• inspired teaching by an enthusiastic staff
• a ‘can do’ ethos which pervades the school community at all levels
• a rich extra curricular provision, giving opportunities for every child to find his/her niche and experience success and develop self confidence
• a pastoral care programme that ensures that every child’s social and academic progress is supported
• a valued partnership between home and school

This prospectus will allow you only a glimpse of the many things we do at Dorset House. We hope that it will encourage you to make a personal appointment to come and look around our wonderful school. When Dee and I visited Dorset House for the first time, we were stunned by the beauty of the school as well as the hugely positive and enthusiastic nature of the staff and children. We are confident that you too will be equally impressed.
