Dumpton is a day school for girls and boys aged 2½ – 13, yet still retains much of the atmosphere of the days when there were boarders too. The Headmaster and his family live in the school and the pastoral care and attention readily given to all pupils is still considered to be of paramount importance. Founded in 1903 the school takes its name from Dumpton House, near Broadstairs. The outbreak of World War II saw the evacuation of the school to Dorset where it still resides in quiet, rural surroundings.

The 25 acre campus is centred on a 19th century farmhouse and stable block which have been tastefully converted and extended. Extensive playing fields and woodland walks complement the modern sports facilities and classroom areas. A full size astroturf and two science ponds (complete with pontoons) are the most recent additions to the campus. The school operates as an educational trust administered by a Board of Governors, the Headmaster is a member of the Incorporated Association of Preparatory Schools and the school is ISC accredited. |
