Admissions
Admissions at Dulwich Prep & Senior now have a broader feel because families can are at the school as more than a prep-only route. The extension of the offer to age 16 gives the process more continuity and changes the question from where boys leave at 13 to whether staying longer makes sense.
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.

Inspection snapshot
The published material is current and unusually clear about the school's evolution, especially the newer senior provision. That makes it easier for parents to ask intelligent questions about how the all-through journey is actually working in practice.
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.
