“A relatively small but perfectly-formed prep with a strong academic record, competitive but inclusive sports programme, impressive facilities and emphasis on emotional resilience. Parents say they made the right choice. ‘We’ll be sad to leave,’ mused one. We can see why.” Good Schools Guide.
Founded in 1903, Dumpton is an independent co-educational day school for children aged 2-13. Set in an inspirational 26 acre site, in the Dorset countryside the beautiful surroundings and impressive facilities create an excellent environment for children to learn; and a committed, caring staff work hard to ensure every child has the opportunity to fulfil their potential. 
Headmaster Christian Saenger is in his 4th year at the school, which has gone from strength to strength under his dynamic leadership. The school has a forward thinking approach to wellbeing and emotional intelligence, a strong focus on character education through seriously impressive sport, performing arts and outdoor learning, as well as an outstanding academic record. For many visitors however, it is the special atmosphere at the school - captured best by the school motto ‘you can because you think you can’ - that leaves a lasting impression.
