About Ditcham Park School

Ditcham Park School is an independent co-educational day school for pupils aged 2 to 16, founded in 1976.

The school aims to nurture every pupil within a supportive and happy environment where each child is known as an individual. Its goal is to build self-confidence alongside academic achievement, developing creative and technological skills and instilling Christian values, a growth mindset, and a desire to make a positive difference in the world.
