Welcome

Parents often tell me that Dolphin has that rare quality—a school where rigour and warmth go hand in hand. We expect high standards in learning and behaviour, but we also nurture creativity, curiosity and joy. Whether through science investigations, poetry writing, music-making, outdoor education or problem-solving in maths, our pupils are encouraged to think deeply, act kindly and lead purposefully.

Although we are a Christian school, our community is wonderfully diverse. Families of all faiths and none find a shared sense of purpose in the values we promote: compassion, honesty, service and respect. Our faith underpins a culture of inclusion and integrity—offering children a moral compass to navigate an ever-changing world.

One of the most encouraging pieces of feedback I receive from senior schools is this: “We can always spot a Dolphin pupil.” They are compassionate, grounded and quietly ambitious. They know who they are—and they help others rise, too.

If you are looking for a prep school in London where your child will be truly known, stretched, supported and celebrated, I warmly invite you to come and visit us. Come and see what makes Dolphin different—and why our children leave with not only strong academic results but the character to lead, serve and flourish.

I look forward to welcoming you to Dolphin School soon.

Warm wishes,

Mrs Lucy Price
Headteacher, Dolphin School London
