“Curiosity is everything. ‘How do you reconcile Marxism as linear, economic determinism with his comment that History repeats itself?’ I don’t know, I’ll have to go away and think about that one. That is the reward of teaching here.”
Dr Nick Black Head of Middle School
Life-long learning
The libraries at the College cater for the specific needs of different age groups, between them housing 32,000 books, CDs and DVDs. These resources support our ambition for all boys to develop into independent, self-motivated, life-long learners. The Raymond Chandler library is popular with enthusiastic Lower School readers and regularly hosts literary quizzes and author events. The Wodehouse Library provides a comfortable
space for quiet study, while the conversation area buzzes with discourse, debate and chess. With borrowing available from the British Library, and College membership of JSTOR (the digital library) there is no area of learning which the boys cannot access, while the periodicals room, hung with paintings from the Dulwich Picture Gallery, allows the boys to read newspapers and periodicals in a traditional library setting too.
