Scholarships

Scholarships are not the main headline here. The stronger proposition is continuity, a clear Dulwich identity and the chance to stretch the school journey further before another move.

Bursaries

Dulwich Prep & Senior says it offers a limited number of means-tested bursaries to new applicants who would otherwise not be able to attend the school.

  • The official FAQ confirms bursaries for new applicants; families should ask admissions for the current entry years covered.
  • The official source confirms means-tested bursaries, but does not publish a standard remission range.
  • Families should contact admissions directly for the current bursary process, deadlines and supporting evidence requirements.

Assessment approach

Assessment at Dulwich Prep & Senior is purposeful and fairly formal at the main points of entry and transition, especially around Years 7 to 9. The school publishes clear entry procedures and has historically prepared boys for competitive 11+ and 13+ moves, while the new senior section means progress can now also be tracked with a view to staying on to 16. Parents should expect a school that takes readiness and next-step preparation seriously.
