Port Regis School Shaftesbury

Port Regis is a co-educational day and boarding school for children aged 3-13 that enjoys an enviable reputation as one of the leading Prep schools in the country. Located in the beautiful Dorset countryside, the school provides the perfect environment in which boys and girls can flourish and enjoy their education. The school's aim is to provide a first class, all-round education which will set children up for life. The accomplished team of staff are dedicated to achieving this and provide the happy atmosphere in which children can realise their full potential and leave for the next stage of their education as well-rounded individuals. Port Regis School is now synonymous with the mansion in which many of the boarders live, known historically as Motcombe House. Motcombe House itself was rebuilt in 1894-1895 but the original stables and walled garden remain from the early 13th Century. Port Regis moved to Motcombe House in the winter of 1947 - one of the coldest winters on record in the UK. The 150-acre freehold to Motcombe Park was purchased in 1972 and has been going strong ever since.
