School profile
About the school
Situated in the heart of Dorchester, Sunninghill Preparatory School benefits from extensive grounds including a swimming pool, tennis courts and a playing field. A family-orientated school, where every child is treated as an individual, whatever their strengths and weaknesses, and taught to be a valued member of the school and the wider community.
We see education as an investment and deliver a broad challlenging curriculum including music, art, drama and sport. Every child aged 6-13 takes part in exams organised by the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art; our record to date in these exams is exceptional. We are also extremely proud of our Outdoor Education programme, which the ISI report identified as a 'particular strength'. In addition the quality of our Early Years Foundatioin Stage provision was deemed 'outstanding'.
Age range
0 months–13 years. Ask the school about entry points and the age range of its prep division.
