Our Vision and Values
An outstanding school inculcating in every pupil an aptitude for work and study and a sense of service so they have the potential to make a positive difference in the world.
What makes a Dulwich education?
Through our values of equity and respect , we seek to encourage: • curiosity and creativity; • compassion and open-mindedness; • resilience and integrity; • a collaborative outlook and an appreciation of how we all benefit from living and growing in a diverse and inclusive society.
What is distinctive is the balancing of the Primacy of the Classroom (academic challenge and excellent teaching to the test) with Free Learning (engagement in learning beyond the curriculum, for its own sake and in preparation for life after Dulwich). A Dulwich education: • offers academic challenges that inspire each pupil to realise their potential; • fosters a spirit of independent thought and curiosity that extends beyond the classroom; • provides sporting, cultural, entrepreneurial, charitable and adventurous engagement for all pupils to enjoy - and through which they learn to work co-operatively and to lead; • nurtures a supportive community that encourages social responsibility and that has selfless Service and Sustainability at its heart; • ensures that all our pupils feel equally secure and valued.
What is Dulwich College’s social mission?
• We retain a commitment to our foundational mission: to facilitate social mobility through education. Social diversity is our great strength. • We have a responsibility to play an active role in our community – and have much to learn from our partners. • We educate our pupils in social responsibility and promote a culture of philanthropy.
