The Campus
The Lower School is one of the five schools that make up the College. Many of the boys’ lessons take place in their Form Rooms in the dedicated Lower School building, though they move for lessons in specialist buildings for Art, Science, Design and Technology and Drama. The fact that they do not have to navigate the entire College campus during their time in the Lower School helps them to settle in quickly. Nonetheless, the size and openness of the College and its grounds allows the boys to grow in independence and maturity as they progress to the Middle School and finally the Upper School. The Laboratory, where Lower School boys will enjoy their Science lessons, was the winner of the RIBA London Award 2017. Our iconic Grade II* listed Barry Buildings (1870) have been recently refurbished, and where Lower School boys can look forward to continuing to in Year 9.
The Dulwich College Educational Experience
We provide a stimulating and stretching academic challenge inside the classroom, where boys nurture their intellectual curiosity and develop an intrinsic love of learning. We offer a broad range of co-curricular activities outside the classroom, and excellent pastoral care from professionals with the boys’ best interests at heart. This all takes place in a wonderfully diverse socio-economic and cultural community, adding up to an educational experience that is second to none. If you have any further questions about life at Dulwich, please do not hesitate to contact me.

The Lower School Library From Summer 2024, the new Lower School Library and Robotics Centre will be open for use, housing some 8000 books and featuring state of the art technological spaces for Informatics on the top floor. This building was designed with contributions from Lower School pupils and has been built to Net Zero specifications. It will be a wonderful space for reading, academic study and all other activities supported by our fantastic team of librarians. Right next to the playground, the Library is at the very heart of the Lower School and will be integral to our pupils’ lives at the College.
