In the heart of Northcote Road, Clapham Junction, Dolphin School is a vibrant and truly independent prep school community for boys and girls aged 2–11, where joyful learning is at the very core of everything we do. Rooted in Christian values, we are committed to bringing out the best in every individual, nurturing strong relationships, a firm moral compass and a deep sense of respect. Unashamedly a family school, we work tirelessly within our community to provide a broad, diverse and joyful educational experience — pupils live and breathe a sense of school ownership that binds the Dolphin community in a way that is truly rare and special.
Robin Hood: a feast for the senses!
What a spectacular way to celebrate the arts at Dolphin School.
Our summer production of Robin Hood was a glorious feast of colour, exceptional acting, brilliant dance, beautiful singing, unexpected surprises and, above all, a whole lot of joy!
Here are just a few highlights from a truly memorable production. For those within our Dolphin community, the full catalogue of photographs is now available on our website.
Being part of a school where the arts are not simply included but celebrated with excellence is an absolute pleasure. Productions of this scale and ambition do not happen by accident. They are made possible by an incredible, interconnected community of children, staff, parents, families, creatives and supporters, all contributing their time, talents and energy to create something extraordinary together.
And perhaps that is the greatest magic of all.
When a community comes together with a shared belief in what children can achieve, the result can be nothing short of spectacular.
Love. Wisdom. Truth.

And just like that… we’re back!
The excitement is palpable at Dolphin School as we throw open the doors for the 2026–2027 academic year.
The school is sparkling, the classrooms are ready and there’s that unmistakable buzz in the air that comes when a school is about to come alive again.
Most importantly, the people are ready.
Old staff returning. New faces joining the team. Fresh ideas, renewed energy and a shared determination to do something extraordinary together.
Because great schools aren’t really about buildings, timetables or even beautifully prepared classrooms.
They’re about people.
The magic happens when talented people share a vision, believe in what they’re doing and create a culture where everyone feels inspired to bring their best.
That’s what we’re building at Dolphin.
A community committed to excellence in education, but never at the expense of joy, curiosity, kindness and the wonderfully messy business of growing up.
So here’s to another year of big ideas, small moments, unexpected discoveries, brilliant teaching, plenty of laughter and children who continue to surprise us with what they can achieve.
Let’s make this a year to remember.
Love. Wisdom. Truth.

There was plenty to calculate at this year’s Emanuel Maths Challenge. With the competition opened to local prep schools, 20 teams of Wandsworth’s brightest Year 5 mathematicians came together for a fiercely contested afternoon of problem solving, perseverance and quick thinking.
As each round unfolded, the margins became finer and the pressure grew. But when the final scores were totalled and the last equation had been solved, Dolphin came out on top, proudly reclaiming the title.
We could not be prouder of our pupils, not simply for winning but for the way they approached every challenge with confidence, curiosity and teamwork.
Success in mathematics is never just about finding the right answer. It is about learning to think critically, embrace challenge and enjoy the process of discovery. That is why we believe the strongest academic outcomes come from a school where children feel happy, supported and inspired every day. When a love of learning is matched with high expectations, remarkable things follow.
Love. Wisdom. Truth.
