It is a wonderful place for a child to be.However, brilliant human beings - not just brilliant facilities - are at the heart of any successful school.
The staff at Dumpton are an exceptional bunch - utterly dedicated, positive and caring in all that they do. They are more than just teachers to the children; they are role models too.The staff create the special feeling at Dumpton, a nurturing yet aspirational atmosphere built upon two clear and simple values which guide all that we do: ‘Be Kind’, and ‘Aim High’.

Selection Criteria: Selective
Pre-Prep (up to Year 2)
Children are accepted for entry into the Nursery from 2. A number may also join Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. There is no formal entry requirement, although parents are encouraged to bring their children in for a morning or day to orientate them. If informal observations by the attending teacher raise significant concerns, these would be discussed with the parents. Final decisions will be made in the best interest of the child in question.
Transfer from Pre-Prep to Prep School
All pupils in Year 2 will be assessed for spelling, reading, and numeracy. The results will be used to inform Year 3 teachers and raise awareness of learning support issues at both ends of the spectrum. New (prospective) Year 3 entrants are also invited to attend for assessment in the Spring Term.
Entry into the Prep School (from Year 3 to Year 8)
There is no entry exam but all children are informally assessed before the offer of a place is made, to ensure that they will be able to cope with the curriculum.
Prep School Years 3 to 8: £5,994 per term
Pre-Prep Reception, Year 1 and Year 2: £3,353 per term
Nursery: £8.45 per hour
