Founded in 1619, Dulwich College in London blends stunning architecture with rural charm. Known as a filming location, it excels academically and athletically, making it one of England’s top schools.

This all boys’ school is based in London with impressive architecture and rural character. It has been a popular location for filming (Harry Potter, Tomb Raider, The Importance of being Earnest). From an academic and a sporting perspective it competes with schools such as Harrow and Eton. In 2012, 15% of Year 13 went to Oxbridge.

Famous Alumni: Ernest Shackleton (Antarctic Explorer), PG Wodehouse (Author), Raymond Chandler (Author), Andrew Sheridan (Rugby player: England International)

News: Dulwich College was one of the first schools in England to introduce science into its curriculum in the 19th century.  The sciences remain a strength of the College. Now, a major new project has begun which will transform science teaching for all students in the 21st century.  Construction of a new landmark building, The Laboratory, is underway at Dulwich College which will house 21 new science laboratories and IT suites. Set in a new pedestrianised landscape and giving a new focus to the heart of the historic campus, the new state-of-the-art science building will also contain a 240 seat auditorium for use by the wider community and a flexible auditorium available to the whole College for events, exhibitions and examinations.
