Junior School Prospectus
It is vital that our boys feel good about themselves as learners, as people and as part of a community, and we work hard to nurture a positive, purposeful and happy atmosphere. The Junior School is an integral part of Dulwich College, sharing the same aims and values but having the distinctive and special qualities of a Junior School. Our boys are bright, interesting and full of boundless enthusiasm for the opportunities around them. We provide pupils with an academically challenging curriculum while also encouraging them to explore their creative potential through Music, Drama and Art. As well as the many sporting opportunities the College provides, we have an extensive co-curricular programme to help boys develop and pursue their own interests and talents. As teachers, our work begins by nurturing the boys’ qualities and skills which have been fostered at home. We believe in working with you to encourage your child to achieve high academic standards, to be confident, courteous, responsible and independent. We will help to instil a sense of right and wrong, respect and tolerance for others and self discipline. If you think this might be the right school for your son, we warmly invite you to visit us and look forward to meeting you. At Dulwich College Junior School we seek to create a stimulating environment in which boys can enjoy learning. Every boy is treated as an individual and encouraged to develop his own talents and abilities to the full.
The Headmaster’s Welcome
From the Master
When I’m asked to define the College in one sentence I often say that it is a ‘doing’ school which suits boys who want to get involved with everything – whether they have a natural aptitude for a given activity or are simply enthusiasts. The provision of excellent teaching and learning is our priority and to this we add an exciting array of co-curricular activities which we believe results in a first-class holistic education. offer academic challenges which enable each pupil to realise his potential; create an environment that promotes an independent work ethic and encourages all pupils to acquire a love of learning; provide sporting, cultural and adventurous engagement for all our pupils to enjoy and through which they can learn to work co-operatively and to lead; nurture a supportive community that encourages a sense of social responsibility and spiritual and personal development; ensure that all our pupils feel equally secure and valued. Our responsibility is to ensure that we fulfil these aims and build on our achievements to enable current and future Alleynians to be well prepared for the exciting challenges of life in the 21st century. Our mission is to:
