About

Since 1885, Dulwich Prep & Senior has been at the forefront of preparatory schooling in England. Generations of boys and Nursery-aged girls have benefited from a school that has embraced change, keeping pace with pedagogy and technology and keeping the school's values at the forefront of everything we do. We are a selective school in two important ways.

First, our pupils generally sit in the top 10% nationally based on their scores in standardised tests. Second, and arguably more importantly, we look for children who will thrive at our school and make the best of everything we have to offer.

Situated in Dulwich, a leafy village within easy striking distance of the bright lights of one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world, everyone at Dulwich Prep & Senior takes pride in inspiring excellence. Our school values underpin the rich diversity of curricular and co-curricular opportunities available to our pupils.
