Dulwich College

Dulwich College is an academically selective independent school with an ethos of equity, excellence and service.

Our ethos at Dulwich is one of equality, and our values are founded in respect and support for others alongside inspired teaching, genuine scholarship and Free Learning in and beyond the classroom.

In addition to excellent public examination results, Dulwich offers a truly holistic education with a breadth of opportunities and underpinned throughout with strong pastoral support.

While the classroom remains central to College life, we see co-curricular activities as vital to a rounded education.

The energy and variety in our co-curriculum programme is such that every boy is sure to find something to inspire him. In fact, if there is interest in an activity not currently available we will do everything in our power to make it available. In this way many of the clubs and societies have been initiated by the boys themselves.

Music, sport and drama all play an integral part in the boys’ lives, both within the curriculum and beyond. Dulwich also has a long tradition of Scouting and CCF with boys taking part in weekly activities as well as a large number of expeditions and adventure activities outside the College. Participation in the Duke of Edinburgh Award has become increasingly popular in recent years along with charitable fundraising and other ways of serving the community.

Our guiding principle is that every boy should find himself and be who he wants to be. The ever- changing and expanding list of clubs and societies within the College is proof of the success of that policy.
