Middle Schools in Dorchester

Hello there

I know you get these posts all the time but I really would be very grateful if any local parents could take 5 mins to give me some advice. We are relocating to Dorchester and are at the start of the logistical nightmare of getting our 2 daughters into school (they are currently in Year R and Year 4). We are looking to rent in Dorchester and would welcome any advice about which middle school catchment to rent in - essentially Dorchester Middle School v St Osmunds (plus any feedback re. St Marys in Puddletown would be great too). Can't really do much with admissions until we have a letting agreement to show proof of address, but can't decide where exactly in Dorchester to live until we have some idea of the schools - plus our daughter will be starting middle school at entry level so no guarantee of any places anyway!

Knighton House School is a girls' school in Durweston - well worth a visit especially if you don't know exactly where you will be living in Dorchester. Don't disregard because of distance as we operate a school bus that can pick up from Dorchester area. www.knightonhouse.dorset.sch.uk Good luck with the relocation!

Both middle schools have a good reputation in Dorchester and Puddletown aswell. It may be just a case of looking around and seeing which you prefer. If you need anything pm me.:-)
