Higher Education and Careers
The SSLP Careers Hub shares opportunities and events, such as work experience, lectures, and competitions.
The first SSLP Apprenticeships Fair, organised by the Careers department at Dulwich College, James Allen’s Girls’ School (JAGS) and Charter School North Dulwich , was held at Charter School North in October 2023. Alongside 20 stands, students had the opportunity to hear from current apprentices as well as from companies that offer apprenticeships to find out more about the application process and what they are looking for in candidates. Over 300 students and their parents attended.
The 25th Camberwell Scouts and Dulwich Explorers is 95 years old this year.
Each troop meets weekly during term times, using our Trevor Bailey Sports Centre as the Headquarters.
Two of our teachers volunteer as leaders, and the school minibuses are available for trips. Overall about a half of participants attend schools other than Dulwich. Other south London troops also use our facilities for inter-troop competitions on the track and field, and in the pool. It is hoped to open a second Scout Troop with additional College staff in time for the start of the Michaelmas term in September 2024. The Explorers from Dulwich College have provided a service team to look after the Scout site in Broadstone Warren, Kent since the 1950s.
Almost 200 Year 11 and 12 students from E-ACT City Heights Academy, Kingsdale School, Charter School North Dulwich and East, Elmgreen School and St Thomas the Apostle College (STAC) attended our annual Courses and Careers Convention. There were seminar sessions during the event on University and Medical School applications, interviews skills and studying at Oxford, along with a chance for students to speak to 70 exhibitors including UK and overseas universities, companies and professionals.
Students from the Charter Schools, Elmgreen School, JAGS and STAC took advantage of our networking opportunities to meet with 20-30 professionals and parents in 1:1, small group and networking scenarios. There have been networking opportunities for STEM, Finance, and the Creative Industries. Networking training is provided to all attendees in advance of the sessions.
