Dumpton School, is a co-educational prep day school for children aged 2½ to 13. Just one mile from Wimborne, surrounded by picturesque and tranquil countryside, the 26 acre campus is centred on a 19th century farmhouse and stable block, while extensive playing fields and woodland walks complement the first rate classroom areas and sports facilities, including a floodlit synthetic all-weather pitch and covered swimming pool. Despite record numbers in the school, class sizes are small. Children enjoy excellent committed teaching as well as incomparable opportunities for Music, Art, Drama and Sport in which the school excels. Dumpton is renowned for its caring approach in which every child is encouraged to identify and develop his or her abilities and personal qualities as fully as possible. This safe and supportive environment sees the children thrive and reach their full potential. The framework of family and Christian values emphasises the importance of teamwork and mutual respect that pervades the school. The school motto 'You can because you think you can', lies at the cornerstone of teaching at Dumpton and our aim is for pupils to leave us having reached their full potential, as confident communicators and appreciating good manners and tolerance.It is a very happy and successful school and children regularly win scholarships to their Senior Schools or places at the local Grammar Schools. Over the past six years Dumpton pupils have been awarded over 144 scholarships to schools such as Bryanston, Canford, Clayesmore, Millfield, Talbot Heath and Sherborne.The Good Schools Guide says 'Dumpton's the perfect size; small enough to have a real family atmosphere and big enough to have proper teams, plays and music. We can't fault it!' The ISI Inspectorate says - 'Excellent' (top grade) in every category - Pre-Prep and Prep School'Outstanding' (top grade) in every category - Early Years Foundation Stage
