Just asking for a sense check. There are no private schools for girls/mixed with boarding facilities near Dulwich, correct? Only Dulwich College for boys? About to buy a house in Herne Hill and might long-term need a boarding school for daughter if our work takes us overseas. But ideally would have her as a day pupil for when we are in the UK. But struggling to find any schools with boarding facilities for girls which are a sensible commute from HH/Dulwich. Would love to be corrected!

Hi you might want to consider Woldingham school, although it appears to be far the journey from Herne hill is doable, as you can either get a train to Victoria and then a train straight to Woldingham, or go to Denmark hill and change at Clapham junction, aprt 45 minutes all in, at Clapham junction there are at least 30-40 girls getting on.

Once the girls arrive at Woldingham Station the school is actually on the grounds of the train station, they are picked up by the school coach and driven up to the school.


They offer day pupil, flexi boarding where you can stay 1/2 night a week, weekly boarding and full boarding.

I have known a very few girls (one or two at a time, often on a short term basis)board at Dulwich College, obviously they don't attend the school itself, but they have been accommodated in a boarding house.

Not sure if they still do that, but I would advise you to ask!

    • Hi everyone, we are trying to finslise our decision for enrolling our son for 3+ from September and currently considering Dulwich Prep or Herne Hill. We like both and appreciate there is no right or wrong answer but what we like about HH is great focus on early years and also being coed. However if we can avoid the 7+ stress then prefer to do that. Dulwich Prep is closer but the difference is not significant. we know children are very active and busy in DP and they have great facilities, but unlike HH, we don’t know much about their focus on personal development and emotional intelligence, etc! Also not sure about long-term impact of being in boys only school. Difficult decision for us and we appreciate feedback from parents if you can share please.    thank you
    • Yeah that was their old policy. Their new policy is to force you to have a water meter and if you refuse they put you on a punitively high tariff which effectively forces you to have one. I was doing well with my policy of polite resistance which was to say yes fine I'll have one fitted but then not actually book an appointment or cancel the appointments they made. But then I was persuaded that it would be much cheaper anyway.
