Dane Court was an independent boarding and day preparatory school for boys aged 4 to 13 which was based at several sites in its 114 year history, but principally at Pyrford, Surrey, England.

[3][4] Graham continued as an educator when he became Vicar of Ashampstead in 1871, with several pupils boarding with him and his wife, Jessie, in the vicarage.

It continued for 20 years under a succession of headmasters, beginning with Harold Wilton Turner and Paul Phipps.

[12][13] Dane Court, Parkstone continued as a pre-prep under headmaster Gordon Holligan, but had been converted to a Barnardo's Home for Boys by 1941.

[14][15][16] Hugh and Michaela Pooley ran Dane Court successfully at Pyrford from 1921 to 1939, but relocated the school to Whatcombe House in Lower Whatcombe near Blandford Forum when the Pyrford site was requisitioned by the War Office for the duration of the war.
