Our social mission We believe that our diversity is our strength – that good learning with a social conscience can only be achieved in an environment where a healthy social mix exists, representing a breadth of talent, character and backgrounds. This social mix was a key characteristic of the College in the middle of the last century, when the “Dulwich Experiment” welcomed talented boys from all walks of life here regardless of ability to pay fees.” For our pupils today, this diversity remains a fundamental part of a Dulwich education – it is not an “add on” or a box to be ticked, but intrinsic to how we prepare all our boys for their future. Our ability to offer bursaries lies at the heart of this. This work will be more necessary than ever in the wake of coronavirus and its likely impact on the global economy – more children than ever will be at risk of being left behind. We are determined to play our part in addressing the resultant inequalities. The contribution of philanthropy is vital to helping even more boys benefit from a Dulwich education.
“Coming to Dulwich had a major impact on me. I developed a sense of self-confidence and self-worth from being treated and valued as an individual. It is one of those places that if you have a particular gift or affinity to something it is really nurtured and developed further. I am really grateful to those that have given to bursaries. It really does make a difference.” Donald Nartey OA (2002-09) Bursary award holder and former School Captain
