Ideal student

Bright, busy boys with inquiring minds who are keen to make the most of both the academic and co-curricular opportunities on offer.

Main sports

Rugby is the highest-profile sport, but football, hockey, cricket, rowing and athletics are all strong, with plenty of choice beyond the major games.

Stand-out facilities

The Laboratory, a striking modern building with 18 science labs, five IT suites and a 240-seat auditorium.

Saturday school

No formal Saturday school, but sport and co-curricular activity remain a significant part of school life.

Founded in 1619 by actor and entrepreneur Edward Alleyn, Dulwich is part of the same foundation as JAGS and Alleyn’s.

Our takeaway

Traditionally sporty and energetic in character, this historic south London boys’ school best suits confident pupils who enjoy a lively, all-round environment.

"Pupils from the College join the most competitive of universities, in the UK and around the world, and thereafter enter all the major professions, with a high number choosing to work in Engineering, the Health Services and the Law."
