Principles and Practice of Boarding at Dulwich College
▪ To provide an open and stimulating environment in which each boarder can develop personally while learning to live in a close-knit community.
▪ To inculcate a desire for truth and honesty in personal relationships.
▪ To create an atmosphere of trust in which each boarder feels able to approach any other member of the community (staff or pupil), confident in the knowledge that he will be listened to and respected as an individual.
▪ To create an atmosphere of tolerance in which teasing, harassment and bullying are unlikely to develop.
▪ To provide the conditions for boarders to develop talents through a structured prep and appropriate facilities, in an atmosphere which offers encouragement and values effort.
▪ To provide accommodation that is comfortable and suited to the needs of boarders according to age and maturity and which offers adequate levels of privacy.
▪ To safeguard and promote the physical welfare of each boarder by providing the best possible food, medical care and security.
▪ To provide appropriate facilities to satisfy boarders' leisure requirements.
▪ To develop in each boarder a sense of responsibility for himself: for boarders and for his environment.
▪ To develop in each boarder the ability to work as part of a team and to offer opportunities to practice leadership.
