About Ditcham Park School

Headmaster’s Welcome

Ditcham Park School, just outside Petersfield, is a co-educational Independent School with a Nursery situated in the middle of the South Downs National Park, with spectacular views of the rolling Hampshire hills and south across the Solent as far as the Isle of Wight.

Our aim is to provide an outstanding education, which equips our pupils with excellent academic qualifications and self-confidence and prepares them for the future. We believe that children learn best and develop self-confidence and self-esteem when they are encouraged in a caring and supportive environment. Our relatively small size enables Ditcham Park to be a genuinely friendly, happy school where ‘every child is known and valued’.’

Small class sizes, excellent teaching, strong pastoral care, a focus on technology and creativity and opportunities for personal development through sport, the arts and outdoor activities set on a beautiful 16-acre site are key features of the education our pupils receive.

It is a privilege and an opportunity to provide a ‘Through School’ experience for a child who can join our Nursery aged 6 months and journey through key stages of development up to Yr11 when s(he) will take their GCSEs, which provide a passport to Sixth Form or College.

We are proud of our pupils’ academic achievements, which represent excellent value-added progress and enable them to move on to their first choice College or Sixth Form. Our GCSE results have improved each year over the last 5 years and have been consistently impressive. In 2022 the School was ranked 13th in the country by the Sunday Times Best Schools Guide, in category, based on our GCSE results. Such success enables each of our pupils to move confidently onto their Sixth Form studies and beyond.

I would be delighted to welcome you to Ditcham Park School so that you can meet pupils and staff and experience what we believe to be a unique family-friendly school where pupils are at the centre of all that we do.

Please email admissions@ditchampark.com to arrange a visit to the School or register for one of our in-person or virtual Open Mornings or one of our events via this website.
