Located in the heart of the Northcote Road, Clapham Junction, we are a school brimming with life, love and learning.

The School is built on values such as individuality, relationships, moral compass, and respect. Dolphin School is unashamedly a family school and we work tirelessly within our community to provide a broad and diverse educational experience – pupils live and breathe a sense of school ownership that binds the Dolphin community in a way that I have rarely seen before.

Life after Dolphin School

Destination Schools
DT Day at Dolphin School was nothing short of Card-tastic! 

What an invigorating day of making, designing, imagining and becoming creators. Inspired by the incredible Samuel Wilde of @cardboardadventures, guided by our brilliant Year 6 DT Captain, and powered by a toolkit of new cardboard-construction techniques (plus some electric cardboard scissors and saws courtesy of our POD!) — the school was absolutely buzzing.

From Year 2 to Year 6, pupils worked in mixed-ability groups to design, prototype and build their Christmas-themed cardboard costumes. Yes, the final creations were spectacular… but the real magic was the process:
🌟 collaboration across ages
🌟 problem-solving in real time
🌟 leadership emerging naturally
🌟 resilience, creativity and joy at every table

The final promenade of costumes was a showstopper — and after much deliberation from our esteemed judges, the champions were… the Wesley-ian Wonders! 🏆

When children are trusted with real tools, real challenges, and real creative freedom, something extraordinary happens. They rise. They collaborate. They discover capabilities they didn’t know they had. DT Day isn’t just about making cardboard costumes — it’s about shaping thinkers, designers, leaders, and teammates. This is what world-class education looks like: purposeful, joyful, hands-on, and deeply human.

If you ever want to see education at its best, look no further than a Dolphin School DT Day.

Love. Wisdom. Truth.

You Got This. 

It’s amazing what happens when someone genuinely believes in you. At Dolphin School, our teachers are known for offering that kind of encouragement — the kind that doesn’t just lift a child up, but helps them see the strength, courage, and creativity that was already inside them.

And here’s the magic:
When a pupil begins to believe in themselves… they start to share that belief with others. Confidence becomes contagious. Encouragement becomes leadership. And a community of children grows where everyone is lifting one another higher. 

If you want to see this in action — the joy, the support, the spark of “You’ve got this!” echoing through classrooms — come and visit us at Dolphin School.
