Dulwich College Donors' Report 2016

Pastor Catholic College in Lewisham, which does not have Sixth Form. The Department has provided teaching to Gifted and Talented students in Years 9, 10 and 11 and has worked with the Ogden Trust Scholarship Scheme to encourage boys to study Physics at the College in the Sixth Form.

The Drama Department has collaborated with Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre on two major exhibitions, ‘Theatrical Treasures from Dulwich College’ and ‘The St. Omer first Folio’, with the intention of enabling the College’s theatrical archive to be seen by as wide an audience as possible during Shakespeare 400. As the James Caird now forms part of the KS2 curriculum for Southwark primary schools, staff from the Archives have also hosted twenty tours for visiting primary school classes over the last twelve months. The College also participated in and hosted this year’s Visual to Vocal production, a collaboration between musicians from English Touring Opera, Dulwich Picture Gallery, elderly members of the local community and boys from the College. And, of course, it continues to provide facilities and staffing for the 25th Camberwell Scouts and Dulwich Explorers, an ‘open’ Scout group: 10% of Cubs and Scouts are pupils who are not Alleynians and at Explorer age this increases to 50%.

College staff have also continued to deliver practical Physics and Chemistry in support of start-up A levels at St. Thomas the Apostle College, Peckham. In Sport, the College continues
to administer, host and provide staffing for a variety of annual sporting events and activities involving the maintained sector, including an indoor Rowing taster session for local Year 4 students and Southwark Schools Athletics Days, involving 700 local students, and a PSV Eindhoven coaching day for 22 schools in Southwark and Lambeth.
