Upper School
It is our role to help boys during their transition from boyhood to adulthood, ensuring they are equipped with the skills and virtues to navigate life beyond the College.
There is a great deal of pressure to conform to the will of the group but our hope is that a Dulwich education will give boys the strength and courage to become reflective individuals – prepared to stand up for what is morally right even if that might come at some personal cost. Young people are under so much pressure to achieve that the expectations can be very daunting. The Upper School provides a supportive environment where boys know they can turn to someone – be it a friend, Tutor, Chaplain, Head of Year or a counsellor – who is there to listen. The Wellbeing Programme in the Upper School is designed to inform and challenge. There are academic sessions that offer practical advice on
developing independent study skills, and research sessions relating to careers and finance. Boys also have the chance to discuss important topics such as relationships, sexual health, mental health and tips for living away from home.
