We believe that our diversity is our strength – that good learning with a social conscience can only be achieved in an environment where a healthy social mix exists, representing a breadth of talent, character and backgrounds. Our ability to offer bursaries lies at the heart of this.
We now look ahead to a time when Dulwich can be, effectively, a needs-blind school – one where admittance is dependent on ability, regardless of your financial circumstances – and where we play a key role in our local community to empower and support the aspirations of children from all backgrounds. Bursaries, partnership and outreach are fundamental to the future of education, both at Dulwich and beyond. This work is more necessary than ever in the wake of coronavirus and its likely impact on the global economy – more children than ever will be in danger of being left behind. Achieving this vision will take time, but our work starts now. We are focused on increasing our capacity to fund bursaries, but also to learning more about how we can attract more who can most benefit, and to creating a truly inclusive and supportive environment within the school for all those that join us, no matter their background. This will be a generational mission, and philanthropy will be vital to our hopes of achieving it. We are grateful to all those benefactors who have already offered their support, at whatever level.
