Modern Foreign Languages There is a strong Portuguese community in the local area and a quarter of City Heights pupils speak the language fluently. In order to capitalise on this skillset, students from both schools were brought together to complete a Language Leaders Award.
Science Our Science teachers delivered 12 practical sessions to two classes of 15 Year 8 pupils in the Lower School laboratory.
“A refreshing opportunity to create practical-focused lessons centred around inquiry and exploration without the constraints of the curriculum.”
Year 13 scientists assisted with these Year 8 practical lessons as well as revision sessions for Year 11.

“When I started, my voice was sometimes very loud, or very low. Now I know how to project my voice when I’m teaching the class,”
The relationships formed and the experiences gained through these interactions have been as enriching for our teachers as they were for our pupils.

Sport Aligned timetables enabled Year 7 students from the Academy to join weekly games sessions at Dulwich College and participate in rugby, hockey, athletics sessions plus swimming lessons. Academy staff supported our Dulwich staff in the delivery of these lessons, and the mutual sharing of good practice has been a significant benefit.
49 City Heights students join the College for swimming, football, rugby, hockey, athletics or Language Leader training every week
“I used to not know how to swim. Now I do know how to swim. And I’m really proud of myself! ” Year 7 City Heights pupil
