From the Sunninghill Preparatory School
"I am frequently asked what the key components are that we mix to create such a beautiful school," I reply. The recipe is time-tested and conventional but also forward-thinking and creative, as proven in many top prep schools. Add a generous amount of warmth, a small number of students who come to school every day eager to take advantage of their chances, motivating professors of the greatest calibre, and bring it all together with first-rate facilities and exceptional pastoral care. Finish this with committed parents willing to patiently slow bake for eight years while sharing a learning experience! . The lovely family prep school Sunninghill is situated in the county seat of Dorset, Dorchester. Our playground includes our lovely market town, the Jurassic Coast, the National Sailing Academy in Weymouth, and all the way to infinity and beyond. A website can never provide a complete picture of what we have to offer; that is always the case. Visit us in person, take a look around our beautiful school, meet with me for a cup of tea, and find out for yourself.
