The Middle School at Dulwich College
Introduction
I am delighted that we have been able to offer your son a place at Dulwich College for this coming September. I hope this booklet will give both you and your son a flavour of life in the Middle School at the College, and that it serves to confirm and enhance your experience of the College - a school where the pupils are happy, busy and academically fulfilled. The Middle School years (Years 9-11) are so important when it comes to personal growth and identity. As pupils enter into this key stage of their lives, they will be supported by a strong pastoral network that will ensure pupils feel comfortable in their school setting and are ready to explore who it is they are, and who it is they want to become. We strive to deliver a demanding yet interesting curriculum, which gives the pupils a chance to think deeply about the world that surrounds them. They will learn to listen to diverse views, knowing that we often learn the most from listening to and engaging with those with whom we think we have least in common. We help pupils develop outside the classroom, encouraging them to partake fully in the wide variety of co-curricular activities on offer at the College. But most importantly, we make sure that every pupil feels safe, secure and supported, so that they can learn to the very best of their ability. I look forward to meeting you and your son over the coming months, be it at College concerts, plays, sporting fixtures or around the campus and helping him become the best version of himself possible as he moves through the College. Having joined the College in Year 9, some twenty five years ago, I know first-hand how wonderful the Middle School years are, and am committed to giving your son the very best experience possible during his time in the Middle School.
