hi, going to look at this tomorrow - I would love to hear from parents with children actually at the school. There is so much historical 'baggage' with this school (sorry) that I would love to hear from people with kids there - I am hearing lots of positives - The facitilies look amazing so any info very gratefully received

thanks - secondary school bore!!

I don't have any children going there but I do see them making their way too and from school and they are a rowdy bunch. However in saying that many children are. An ex teacher of mine is Deputy and he always struck me as they type to try to get young boys in to positive things so who knows perhaps it is a good school. It only takes a few to give a bad impression to the outside world.

Thanks, Ko!


As per the other thread - we have a son in Year 8 at Kingsdale and are passionate supporters of the school. We have another son in Year 5 at Goodrich and will have no hesitation whatsoever in sending him to Kingsdale.


Reply in this thread if you have any specific questions about the school that I can help with.

    • As I may have said before those that knew him  at DC who I have met sat similar, but not sure if they are quoting the above contacts or first hand experience.  And of course that he has changed the pronunciation of his surname
    • A detailed account of Nigel Farage's alleged racist and neofascist behaviour while he attended Dulwich College appears in the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-interactive/2025/nov/18/deeply-shocking-nigel-farage-faces-fresh-claims-of-racism-and-antisemitism-at-school Obviously for most the relevant question is if these allegations are true, then is Farage a suitable person for public office? But for Dulwich local yokels (and tbh anyone that's already formed a firm opinion about Farage), the more interesting question might be whether Dulwich College incubated and tolerated pupils' racist and bigoted behaviour at the time? After all, the allegations include that NF and a number of other boys sang songs about gassing Jews and engaged in other bigoted behaviour, that teachers were either present or aware of that behaviour, and that nothing was done. It's remarkable that pieces of the reporting abour 40 years ago mirror some of the allegations about Dulwich College's reaction to some pupils' alleged sexist and predatory behaviour 4 years ago. Minimisation, dismissal, wilful blindness... https://www.thetimes.com/uk/crime/article/i-warned-head-of-dulwich-college-about-abusive-boys-five-years-ago-xkxgjftk8 https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/mar/26/dulwich-college-head-warns-pupils-over-culture-protest
    • Hi, we've got a random cat at tonight's game. Anyone own it? 
    • Saied (Dulwich Eco Gardening) said he’d give us our garden back and he did. He cleared the overgrown front and back. It was bigger than we remember.    He doesn’t do hard landscaping on the scale we needed but recommended someone (Kris 07938 204480). He flagged and fenced it.    Once we decide what plants/pots we want we’ll have Saied back to do that. Can’t wait for next spring to use the garden.
