Dover College Headmaster

Following a rigorous recruitment process, we are delighted to announce the appointment of Mr Phil Tattersall-King as the next Headmaster of Dover College. We look forward to welcoming Phil to the College before his official start in September 2025.

All set up and ready to meet @StFaithsPrepAsh families to discuss Senior School options for their children.

Please SAVE THE DATE for Prize Day - Thursday, 6th July 2023. We will be replicating the highly successful format of last year, which included a Summer Celebration on The Close for the whole Dover College community. Further details and RSVPs will be sent before half term.

Our pupils walked away yesterday with a clutch of medals from a Dover swimming gala for Prep 3-6 aged pupils. Grace (Prep 4) and Jacob (Prep 6) achieved bronze, Cooper (Prep 6) received silver, and both Mia (Prep 5) and Brodie (Prep 3) were awarded gold.

The weather has been freezing lately, but Billie has been kept warm by the lovely scarf knitted by the mother of the School House Housemaster, Mr Irwin.

Prep 2 had mixed feelings this afternoon as their beautiful model of Pudding Lane was set alight in the Discovery Garden! Their topic this term has been The Great Fire of London, which swept through central London from the 2nd to the 6th of September 1666.

We are coming to the end of a long but productive day in the International Study Centre. Super proud of all 20 of our students who have sat B2 Upper Intermediate Cambridge Assessments- on a Saturday! Wishing them huge luck and deserved success ⭐️🤞📚.

Over the last three evenings, audiences have been transported to a magical place as they have watched outstanding performances of Beauty and the Beast. Well done, and thank you to the cast, crew, and Mr Godfrey and Mr Carroll.

Please join us for our Christmas Market in the Refectory, from 4.00 pm tomorrow. There will be over 20 stalls, a raffle with fantastic prizes, food and drink on sale and much more.

Magical moon taken just outside our school gates this late afternoon. Just before the temps dramatically drop!

I can’t wait to see the first performance tomorrow.

Our DC POPs Wreath Making Workshops yesterday and today have been very successful. Thank you to Mrs Fisher and Mrs Irwin for leading these, and to our Grounds team for sourcing the foliage used. 🎄🎁🔔 #ChristmasIsComing

I’m very pleased to be attending The Independent Schools Conference today. Plenty of thought provoking and inspiring words are being shared by a brilliant range of speakers. #ISC22
