Natalie Dormer attended Chiltern Edge Secondary School, before moving to Reading Blue Coat School, an independent boys’ school that admits girls in the sixth form. She grew up with her stepfather, mother, sister Samantha and brother Mark. She suffered from bullying problems during her childhood, and it’s something that "still to this day she can’t place why."

During her school years she trained in dance at the Allenova School of Dancing. She describes herself as the ’academic hopeful’ of the family and was offered a place to study history at Cambridge, but misread one of the questions that was in her history A-Level and thus was not able to get the A Grade she needed to attend.
