Welcome to Ditcham!
Nestled in the heart of the South Downs National Park, just outside Petersfield, Ditcham Park School is a thriving co-educational independent school and nursery where every child is known, valued and inspired to succeed.
Set within 16 acres of stunning countryside, with panoramic views stretching across the Hampshire hills to the Isle of Wight, Ditcham Park offers a unique environment in which children can learn, grow and flourish.
From our Nursery for children aged six months through to GCSEs in Year 11, we provide a seamless educational journey that combines academic excellence with outstanding pastoral care. Small class sizes, exceptional teaching and a nurturing family atmosphere ensure every pupil is supported to achieve their full potential, both in and beyond the classroom.
Alongside strong academic outcomes, pupils benefit from a broad range of opportunities in sport, the arts, technology and outdoor education, helping them develop confidence, creativity, resilience and independence.
We are proud of our pupils’ achievements and the excellent progress they make during their time with us. Our consistently strong GCSE results enable pupils to move on confidently to their first-choice sixth forms and colleges, preparing them for success in the next stage of their education and beyond.
Under the leadership of new Headmaster Peter Thackrey, Ditcham Park provides an outstanding all-round education, placing pupils at the heart of everything we do.
We would be delighted to welcome you and your family to experience the warmth, ambition and community spirit that make Ditcham Park so special.
We hold regular Open Mornings, Reception class Stay and Plays and School In Action Mornings throughout the year, but you are very welcome to arrange a bespoke visit and tour at any time.
