In the heart of Northcote Road, Clapham Junction, Dolphin School is a vibrant and truly independent prep school community for boys and girls aged 2–11, where joyful learning is at the very core of everything we do. Rooted in Christian values, we are committed to bringing out the best in every individual, nurturing strong relationships, a firm moral compass and a deep sense of respect. Unashamedly a family school, we work tirelessly within our community to provide a broad, diverse and joyful educational experience — pupils live and breathe a sense of school ownership that binds the Dolphin community in a way that is truly rare and special.

Life after Dolphin School

Destination Schools
What an afternoon! 

To support the children in Years 4 to 6 taking part in the Restless Development Triathlon our pupils transformed Dolphin into a buzzing fundraising fair packed with creativity, energy and entrepreneurial flair.

From homemade pinball machines and mystery drawers to lucky dips, cake stalls, photo booths, “guess the chocolate” games and so much more... the children completely took the lead in designing fun interactive stalls for the whole school to enjoy. 

Pupils brought in their pocket money, had a whirl at the games, won prizes, enjoyed treats and most importantly raised money for an incredibly worthwhile cause with all proceeds going to @restlessdevelopment

At Dolphin we love seeing children think creatively, work collaboratively and develop the confidence to turn ideas into action. Learning how to be entrepreneurial, imaginative and community minded are such important life skills and this event absolutely sparkled with all three!

Huge well done to everyone involved!

Love.Widsom. Truth.

🎪✨ The Big Top came to Dolphin! ✨🎪

Thanks to our wonderful POD, @circuspazaz transformed the school into a vibrant world of wonder and awe. With snacks in hand and smiles all around, we were captivated by the ringmaster’s antics, Tilly Twist’s dazzling spins and Alexa the acrobat’s breathtaking, high-flying stunts 

Moments like these go far beyond entertainment, they bring us together, spark courage, and remind us that what once felt impossible can, with a little guidance (and bravery!), become reality… even Mr Schmidt mastering the hoola-hoop! 

It’s these shared experiences that enrich a Dolphin education, building confidence, connection, and a sense of joyful possibility in every child.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love. Wisdom. Truth.
