The Campus Our leafy grounds with over 1,000 trees give pupils the opportunity to connect with nature at breaktime and lunch, and inspire our teachers to take boys for lessons outside of the classroom. We have a Wildflower Walk which is a perfect space for boosting wellbeing and pupils can also enjoy tranquil spaces such as the Memorial Garden and the new, award-winning Spirit of Partnership Garden. The fact that pupils 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 enjoy their Science lessons, was the winner of the RIBA London Award 2017 and our iconic Grade II* listed Barry Buildings (1870) are where they can look forward to continuing their studies in Year 9.

The Lower School 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, Music and Drama. A brand new wing of the Lower School includes the Raymond Chandler Library, with Fiction and Non-Fiction collections specially curated for our pupils, and IT and Robotics suites at the top. It is 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 is integral to our pupils’ lives at the College.
Foundation Schools’ Coach Service While the College occupies beautiful historic buildings set in 70 acres of green, open space, we are only 12 minutes from Central London by train. Boys can also take advantage of the Foundation Schools’ Coach Service which provides a safe, convenient and environmentally friendly means of travel to and from school and also for children taking part in after school activities. A large number of routes are offered within Central, Greater and Outer London, and further details are available on our website: www.dulwich.org.uk/coaches
