Southwark Schools Learning Partnership
Southwark Schools Learning Partnership (SSLP) is a unique collaboration between ten schools - seven from the maintained sector and the three Dulwich Foundation Schools, Dulwich College, JAGS and Alleyn's. The partnership runs a series of projects for students and joint CPD (continuing professional development) for teaching staff and Dulwich College plays a significant part in shaping and delivering this important work.
Through its longstanding contact with the Universidad Católica de Valencia, Dulwich College provided eight Spanish graduate interns to SSLP schools.
For maintained-sector members of SSLP, the College facilitated five applications for Stuart Horne Bursaries and enabled the participation of students in a summer school at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) run by the Particle Physics Department at Liverpool University.
In addition to Dr Joe Spence’s role as Co-director with Grainne Grabowski of St Michael’s Catholic College, Dulwich College provides a member of staff who acts as the main link for SSLP. A further five members of staff regularly contribute to SSLP events with additional involvement from a wide pool of staff and students.
A five-month project 'Variations on a Theme' saw the artist and sculptor Peter Randall-Page RA working with Sixth Form Art students from The Charter School and Dulwich College, with a resultant exhibition and evening presentation.
“There was a wonderful buzz about the event and it was heartening listening to so many bright young people from our different schools thinking about issues that take them way
beyond their GCSE and A level syllabuses.” Dr Joe Spence on the Liberty Schools Conference
“The workshop was great for a student at A level as it gave me a chance to be more free with my work and allowed me to experiment with techniques I had never considered before.” Rory ,'Variations on a Theme' student
Over the past year Dulwich College hosted: the second Liberty Schools
Conference for Sixth Formers; Drama workshops on ‘How to Write about Theatre’ led by theatre critic Mark Fisher; and Science events.
A Dulwich College collaboration with Dulwich Picture Gallery and My Start/FilmAid International produced an exhibition of works by young refugees in North West Kenya and inaugurated a series of workshops for SSLP students.
