Wellbeing Matters 2022

Welcome At Dulwich College, we are committed to providing a holistic education for all our pupils and see our academic and pastoral work as interrelated and complementary. We believe it is vital that, alongside achieving their academic potential, our pupils learn skills and have experiences that enable them to thrive and flourish during the school day - and beyond. The College is committed to promoting wellbeing which is provided in a range of age-appropriate ways: from circle time for the younger pupils, to dedicated lesson and curriculum time as pupils progress through the College, and College- wide awareness days, weeks and termly focus to ensure that wellbeing is an ever presence and focus in the development of our pupils. The ability to balance various and considerable demands on our time, while finding space for reflection and remaining well-balanced, intuitive and flexible in our thinking is a key 21st-century challenge and skill. We wish our pupils to be emotionally, physically and spiritually healthy; able to make sound life choices; to engage productively with the community and in the relationships that they form; to be compassionate, reflective and well-informed individuals; and to be well prepared for life beyond Dulwich. Our Wellbeing programme and extensive support for pupils underpins school life and the intention of this publication is to illustrate just how this is achieved.
