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

🎄✨ Christmas at Dolphin School ✨🎄

As the lights go up and the tree is carefully decorated, Christmas invites us to slow down, gather close and remember what really matters. In the busyness of preparing, wrapping and planning, we’re reminded that the heart of Christmas isn’t found in perfection — but in presence.

At Dolphin School, we see Christmas as a time to nurture joy, deepen togetherness, and create space for reflection. Decorating the tree becomes an act of hope. Preparing our homes becomes a way of preparing our hearts. And in the quiet moments, we remember the true meaning of Christmas — love given freely, wisdom that guides us, and truth that anchors us.

May your homes be filled with laughter, your tables with connection, and your days with peace. From all of us at Dolphin School, we wish you a very Happy Christmas and a hopeful, light-filled New Year.

Love. Wisdom. Truth.

Nothing captures the magic of the season quite like a Dolphin School nativity — and this year’s performance  of the Wriggly Nativity was truly something special. From shining stars to joyful shepherds, confident narrators to scene-stealing innkeepers, our children brought heart, humour and a whole lot of sparkle to the stage.

And of course, our ever-enthusiastic gappie Miss Zoe couldn’t resist reporting every delightful moment… so here are the highlights! A beautiful reminder of what great education in action really looks like: confidence, creativity, and children thriving together.

Proud of our pupils, grateful for our staff, and endlessly thankful for a community that cheers loudly and loves deeply.

At Dolphin School, joy is more than a feeling — it’s the spark that lights everything we do. Joy creates connectedness, connectedness nurtures hope, and hope inspires a sense of purpose. With purpose comes a deeper joy still… and the loop continues.

Our excellence grows from this foundation: a genuine love of learning, strengthened by community, optimism and meaning.

Wishing you all a Happy Christmas from the industrious elves at Dolphin School.
Love. Wisdom. Truth.
