Serving the wider community
Dulwich College’s founding charitable mission is embedded in our long and successful commitment to philanthropy, service and partnerships. An ethos of social responsibility lies at the heart of the College. We believe that mutual benefit comes from engaging in partnerships. Across the College, pupils and staff voluntarily contribute their time and expertise to a portfolio of community activities.
Public Lectures (GE Moore Lecture Series) A series of 15 lectures running from 2014-19 to mark the 400th anniversary. Open to the school and wider community, each lecture reflected an aspect of the College’s life and history.
Community Action 234 pupils from Year 10 to 13 volunteer weekly/fortnightly on 17 different projects, supported by 20 staff. Volunteering and fundraising activities include: foodbanks, reading mentors in schools, gardening in the community, support for the elderly and much more. Bursaries The College spent over £3.5 million towards bursaries in 2018- 19, supporting 191 pupils on a means-tested bursary. The average support that they have received is 76% of the school fee. The majority of pupils in receipt of fee support are from areas local to the College.
Educational Partnerships The College has a range of important partnerships which support raising aspirations across both the independent and maintained sectors. We have many examples of working with local schools for the benefit of individual students or for entire academic fields.
