An ethos of social responsibility lies at the heart of the College’s Strategic Development Plan and is a key component of life at Dulwich. Pupils and staff voluntarily contribute their time and expertise to a range of partnership and community activities that we firmly believe have a reciprocal benefit – to the causes and schools we support, but also to our own community and educating our boys about the importance of giving back. Partnerships
Education The College’s most significant educational partnership is the Southwark Schools Learning Partnership (SSLP) , a collaboration between local state and independent schools. The partnership promotes a variety of projects for students and joint Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for staff. With the Master as co-director, Dulwich College provides leadership as well as projects for member schools. Our other key educational partnerships include: The Southwark Community Education Charity – 60 children, 26% of whom were on a Pupil Premium, in 2017, attend 2-hour sessions on Saturday mornings exploring some of the fundamentals of Biology, Chemistry and Physics through practical experiments. City Heights E-ACT Academy –The College acts as an educational partner to the Academy to provide support for its educational work and to establish links and activities that benefit both schools through shared experience and good practice.
Pupil fundraising and volunteering Pupils from DUCKS to Year 13 were involved in raising money for a broad range of local and national charities in 2017/18 - 14 in total. Through pyjama days to digital detoxs, they raised a total of £25,000, with over £7,500 raised for King’s College Hospital Critical Care alone. 234 students also took part in 17 different community volunteering activities, supported by approximately 20 members of staff.
Shared Facilities Every year Dulwich College provides use of our facilities for free or at charitable rates - the equivalent of almost £100,000 .
