Love Wisdom TruthDOLPHIN SCHOOL

Located in the heart of the Northcote Road, Clapham Junction, we are a school brimming with life, love and learning.

The School is built on values such as individuality, relationships, moral compass, and respect. Dolphin School is unashamedly a family school and we work tirelessly within our community to provide a broad and diverse educational experience – pupils live and breathe a sense of school ownership that binds the Dolphin community in a way that I have rarely seen before.

The Great 40 at Dolphin 

This year we’re celebrating something very special — Dolphin School’s 40th anniversary! 
Across the year, we’ll be sharing moments, memories and milestones as we give thanks for all that has been and look ahead with excitement to all that’s still to come.

This week, we’re launching The Great 40 — a countdown of 40 events, people and traditions that have helped shape Dolphin into the school we love today. Each post will shine a light on a unique part of our story and celebrate the faith, commitment and community at the heart of Dolphin for the past four decades.

With our anniversary theme “The Best Is Yet to Come”, we invite our whole community to journey with us — reflecting, celebrating, and embracing the next 40 years with hope, confidence and joy 

Watch this space… the countdown begins...

Spring at Dolphin: Let’s Dive In

Spring term at Dolphin School is here—and with it comes fresh energy, bright ideas, and plenty of chances to grow. Just like spring itself, this term is all about curiosity, confidence, and trying something new.

At Dolphin, we don’t just learn—we explore. We ask big questions, have a go even when it’s tricky, and discover that effort is where the magic happens. Mistakes? They’re simply proof that learning is in full swing.

What makes Dolphin special is the way everyone dives in together. Pupils, staff, and families create a school where kindness counts, curiosity is cool, and everyone is encouraged to be their best (not perfect—just their best).

As the days get longer and the term gets busier, this is our moment to stretch ourselves, celebrate progress, and enjoy the journey. New challenges, new discoveries, same great Dolphin spirit.

So here’s to a spring term full of learning, laughter, and leaps forward. Let’s make waves.

Love. Wisdom. Truth.
