Our Partnerships
The Future of Teacher Training
105 charitable and local organisations made use of our facilities at a reduced rate this year
We are proud to be the largest hub for the national School-Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) programmes in Maths, Physics and Modern Languages, and have trained almost 200 Mathematics, Physics and Modern Foreign Languages teachers via these bespoke, subject specific programmes. Since SCITT's introduction at Dulwich 7 years ago, over 90% of our trainees have remained in their teaching posts at both state and independent schools.
We believe independent schools are an integral part of the national system of education and that we have a duty to help support the state sector. We are delighted to share our expertise, facilities and other resources to build deep, mutually beneficial community partnerships.
In 2023-24, we raised £45,121 for partnership work at Dulwich College
These holistic programmes blend academic theory with hands-on classroom experience. Trainees spend one day a week at the College, deepening their subject knowledge and professional skills, while the rest of the week is spent in their placement schools, supported by a dedicated mentor who also benefits from leadership training through the programme. SCITT is a government funded initiative, subsidised by Dulwich College. We fund a SCITT administrator as well as providing substantial periods of remission for teachers from their teaching timetables, who are subject leads and mentors for SCITT.
240 pupils from four local primary schools took part in eight Art & DT College workshops in the 2023 summer term
“I direct the SCITT programmes at Dulwich College because we need teachers to inspire the next generation coming through the school system. When I conduct observations of our trainees in their placement schools, pupils and colleagues often go out of their way to say how much they appreciate the impact their teacher is making. In many subjects, all schools have problems with recruitment and retention of excellent teachers. Our trainees are definitely making a vital difference across London and the South East.”
