Standard Terms and Conditions
This version of the College’s Terms & Conditions applies to pupils joining the College on or after 1 January 2026 .
1.
Introduction
1.1 These terms and conditions reflect the custom and practice of independent schools for many generations and are intended to promote the education and welfare of each pupil and the stability, forward-planning, proper resourcing and development of the College. Together with any letter of offer, any acceptance form signed by the Parents, the Fees List and any conditions of award that may be attached to a bursary or scholarship, these terms and conditions form the legally-binding contract for the Services made between the Parents and the College in relation to the Pupil (“the Parent Contract”). 1.2 We ask the Parents to read these terms and conditions carefully and in particular draw the Parents’ attention to the provisions of paragraphs 2.16, 8, 9 and 10. If the Parents have any queries regarding these terms and conditions please contact the Clerk to Governors, Dulwich College, Dulwich Common, London SE21 7LD. 1.3 For the avoidance of doubt (and if not terminated before then) the Parent Contract will automatically come to an end (without the Parents or the College having to give the other notice) when the Pupil comes to the end of Year 13 at the College. The ending of the Parent Contract in this way will not affect any legal rights or obligations that have already arisen (for example the Parents’ obligation to pay any outstanding Fees). After the Parent Contract ends, the parties will keep any rights they each have as a matter of general law.
