Imperial College London is a world-top ten university with an international reputation for excellence in teaching and research. Consistently rated amongst the world's best universities, Imperial is committed to developing the next generation of researchers, scientists, and academics through collaboration across disciplines. Located in London's heart, Imperial is a multidisciplinary space for education, research, translation, and commercialization, harnessing science and innovation to tackle global challenges. Global research-driven universities like Imperial College London have a central role in helping humanity address these changes and challenges by making discoveries, educating leaders, and developing innovations that benefit society. However, these universities will need to change to contribute to this future. In our Strategy 2015–2020, we set out how Imperial will be a source of new solutions, a contributor to a better future, a trusted partner, and a new paradigm of the global university. We will support an atmosphere and culture that embraces discovery. We will continue to be guided by our mission of achieving enduring excellence in research and education in science, engineering, medicine, and business for the benefit of society. We will shrink the time and distance between fundamental discovery and societal benefit. We will provide our students with the knowledge and experiences that equip them for their future roles as leaders. We will have the courage to take risks. We will remain true to our mission. While we cannot envision all of the challenges ahead, we believe that Imperial can contribute by focusing our research around four themes: discovery and the natural world engineering novel solutions health and well-being and leading the data revolution. Great discoveries begin with great people: talented individuals steeped in the knowledge of their core discipline, confident enough to work on risky, unsolved problems, adept at understanding and working with others from different fields, and immersed in an atmosphere of excellence. They are underpinned by talented support staff who put their full energy and passion into their work and our mission. We will make supporting and enabling all these people central to what we do. Our bright and energetic students are integral to our mission. We will enhance their experiences by embedding their education in cutting-edge research and providing increasing opportunities for them to use their talents in new entrepreneurial, creative, and practical ways. The Dyson School of Design Engineering is an example of how we will nurture the multifaceted talents of our students and develop them into future leaders. We have a tremendous asset in our highly successful alumni and friends. We will revitalize our relationship with them and encourage them to be a part of the Imperial College London of today and the future. Their knowledge, expertise, and experience will contribute to the intellectual power of the College. Across the world, people recognize that the changes and challenges we face require us to work together more effectively. Universities must drive collaboration, work across disciplines, and seize opportunities in ways and at a pace unusual for academia. It is the only way that we can solve the world's challenges. At Imperial, we are good at working across disciplines and collaborating. In 2014 three-quarters of our research papers collaborated with external co-authors from over 140 countries and 6,000 different universities, businesses, and other research organizations. However, we can be even better and can lead to new areas. We will seek the very best from around the world, sometimes collaborating with our toughest competition to create a fantastic team. We will ensure that our reward structures provide incentives for sharing, collaborating, and building relationships. This means that we will recognize collaboration in our evaluations for promotions and awards, and we will advocate for funders and evaluators to support collaborative work. We will make all of our campuses into dynamic centers of collaboration and innovation. We will bring staff, students, entrepreneurs, and industry researchers together in modern purpose-built spaces where ideas can be developed and tested rigorously and where networks can flourish. In White City, we create a new campus where partnerships working on global challenges transcend departmental boundaries. Every day, individuals, policymakers, and business leaders face questions, the answers to which require an understanding of the natural world, technology, medical advances, and business analysis. We can make a tremendous difference by using our expertise and knowledge to provide factual evidence and advice to government and business decision-makers. Also, the world is full of people who are naturally curious and enjoy learning. We must excite and inspire the public, from potential new students to eager lifelong learners, by sharing what we do in ways that arouse curiosity, awaken a love of discovery, and broaden the understanding of an increasingly complex world. Researchers are courageous. We probe the boundaries of knowledge; we seek discovery and delve into the unknown. We take calculated risks when we know we are onto something important. We find collaborators readily. Individually we already know how to do this. Institutions are more conservative. We will ensure that Imperial creates an environment where researchers can be courageous and push back the boundaries of their fields. We will make working together easy and support judicious risk-taking and collaboration. The world is changing, and Imperial is changing too. We set out this Strategy 2015–2020 to help guide us in the next few years. We acknowledge that we do not know where the new challenges and opportunities will be. We do know that we have great people, and we will build a more agile, adaptive, and resilient organization so that we will be ready for whatever the future holds.

At Birkbeck, you can build your own university experience, with as little or as much support as possible. Birkbeck offers a famously friendly, welcoming environment, and we will be with you every step of the way, offering academic support and pastoral guidance, whenever you need it. Moreover, studying in the evening does not mean you can't get the full student experience of life at a vibrant city-center university: our main campus is on the University of London's central London campus, next to other universities, surrounded by world-famous museums and galleries, in the heart of London, and we're just a few minutes' strolls from London's famous West End. Birkbeck is different: our classes are held in the evening, so your days are free - to study, work, volunteer, or do your own thing. We know the conventional university model is not right for everyone. Our evening teaching gives people who care about their future something special: the opportunity to study at a world-class, research-intensive university and progress their life goals simultaneously. With a global reputation for high-quality research and teaching, Birkbeck is part of the prestigious University of London, alongside University College London (UCL), King's College London (KCL), the School of African and Oriental Studies (SOAS) and the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), among others. At Birkbeck, you can choose as much or as little of the standard university experience. You might work during the day, a study in one of Bloomsbury's world-famous libraries, undertake an internship via Birkbeck Talent, our in-house professional recruitment service - or do something completely different. Many people are drawn to Birkbeck because we support and enable diverse life choices. The combination of evening study and a city-center location offers you exceptional opportunities. Our main campus is next to other universities, surrounded by world-famous museums and galleries and in the heart of corporate and governmental London.

We believe our students' varied experiences enrich our teaching, so we will share knowledge and support you, as equals. The reasons people choose to study in the evening are as individual and varied as the people you will sit next to in class: young people who want to gain experience in the workplace. In contrast, they study working Londoners looking for a promotion or career change. People who missed out on university the first time around or those who are only passionate about their subject. Birkbeck was created 200 years ago to provide university education for working Londoners.

The London School of Science & Technology (LSST) is a privately managed higher education college which was founded by Mr. Syed Zaidi in 2003 with the vision to support local communities and encourage social cohesion. Through his successful leadership, LSST has grown to become one of the leading institutions of its kind, widening participation to include anyone with a desire for education. With a student population of 2,000, our learners' diversity reflects our ethos – to provide education to all students, regardless of their background and upbringing. We recognize that the conventional route into higher education does not work for everyone; therefore, we focus on what qualities our prospective students can bring to their learning experience rather than their qualifications. Our focus is on you – which is why we offer a flexible timetable to allow you to fit your studies around your daily responsibilities. Our headquarters are based at our London campus in Alperton, which houses our Senior Management Team and all central administrative functions. We have expanded our reach to include campuses in Luton and Birmingham, with each Campus having its management, administrative and academic teams. At LSST, we pride ourselves on offering a quality learning experience. Our institutions' intimate nature allows our dedicated staff to provide direct one-to-one support to our students, guaranteeing a rewarding and fulfilling route to success. Our current academic portfolio consists of career-focused courses delivered at Levels 3 to 6, particularly in the fields of Business (with several pathways), IT and Computing, and Hospitality Management. LSST is a new concept in higher education designed to integrate study into the life that you lead. Gaining higher-level skills and qualifications is essential, but sometimes it can be difficult or virtually impossible to fit traditional study into your life. That is why we have designed this new approach to learning. LSST is designed specifically for people who want to benefit from high-quality courses but have decided that the traditional student experience is not for them. We provide a focused teaching and learning environment that will lead to academic and professional qualifications. Moreover, this is precisely where our commitment lies and makes sure that our courses meet the criteria for an academic qualification – wherever possible, we have designed our courses around the standards for professional qualifications. We want every student that leaves LSST to have the relevant skills and knowledge that will help them secure employment in their chosen profession – so you have the potential to achieve an academic qualification plus a professional qualification, which could help make you even more attractive to employers. We offer a structured teaching week with the flexibility to choose morning or afternoon classes, wherever possible and numbers permitting, to help you study around your other commitments. This can be an ideal option if you are a mature student returning to education or need to fit your studies around your job. LSST puts you in charge. You manage your studies to suit your work responsibilities, commitments, and lifestyle – working towards an academic qualification is challenging, but it should not be a chore. Our course teams contain both academics and practicing professionals. They aim to work together to discover your subject from all angles, the theory, and the practice. Moreover, unlike many other institutions, our tutors maintain high-class contact levels and offer support to help ensure you are learning throughout your time at LSST. LSST validates all of our awards, so you can be confident that you are studying at the university level and be assured that the content is of high quality. The fees that you pay at LSST are significantly lower than those at many other comparable institutions. Fees cover all of your classes, online tutorials, some of the learning materials, and access to the College Learning Resource Centre. As a student at LSST, you also have reading rights to LSST. We firmly believe that LSST gives you access to quality and relevant learning experience at a price that represents excellent value for money. We also believe that you will be able to judge the returns on your investment through your improved career prospects.

We are minutes away from the Square Mile - London's world-famous financial district - and the headquarters of financial and professional institutions, major arts complexes and media offices, teaching hospitals, and specialist medical research centers. Since our foundation over a century ago, we have always enjoyed deep-rooted links with the City of London. The Lord Mayor of London is the Rector of City, and many City of London livery companies are long-standing supporters of City. It is a privilege to be presenting City, University of London's Vision & Strategy 2026. We take the historic step of joining the University of London and embark on a path of quality, growth where possible, and partnership. Ambitious – a place where people seek new challenges and go the extra mile to achieve the strategic priorities set out in Vision & Strategy 2026 through the implementation of their School or Professional Service Strategic Plan, Collaborative – a place where successes are shared, and problems are solved by working together for the common good, A Community – a place where people have pride in their institution, are respectful, knowledgeable and are concerned for each other, Diverse & inclusive – a place where diversity is a strength and inclusiveness is promoted proactively, with an initial focus on gender equality as City's most pressing challenge, Organisationally self-confident – a place that knows its strengths and is open about and strives to address its weaknesses. We began developing this Vision & Strategy 2026 by engaging with staff, students, and stakeholders back in mid-2015. We revisited and thoroughly tested the underlying assumptions following the outcome of the EU referendum. Undoubtedly implementation of the Vision & Strategy 2026 will require even greater agility from City than it has shown over the past five years. The City's high internationalism and London location will be enormous strengths during uncertain times. Our most significant achievements have been doubling the proportion of our academic staff undertaking world-leading or internationally excellent research and increasing our students' satisfaction more than any other university in the country while moving into financial surplus. Our vision for 2026: City, University of London: A leading global university committed to academic excellence, focused on business and the professions and located in the heart of London. 2016 is a significant milestone in City's long and proud history. It marks 50 years since we were granted a Royal Charter, and City University London came into existence, intending to 'advance knowledge, wisdom, and understanding by teaching, research, and professional training, particularly in science and technology.' 2016 is also the year that City joined the University of London, marking a significant and exciting new chapter in our history. It is a significant opportunity and a signal of how far we have come as an institution historically and in more recent years by implementing our Strategic Plan 2012 to 2016. We will retain our historical strengths, professional credibility, and deep-rooted City of London heritage. At the same time, we strengthen our international profile and expand our research and education capabilities in the ways set out in this Vision & Strategy 2026.

The University of London Institute in Paris was the brainchild of Miss Edith Williams, who came to the Sorbonne to train as a teacher of English. She succeeded in becoming the second-ever woman to receive the Agrégation d'anglais (a qualification necessary for teaching at university level) and holding weekly English classes in her flat. In 1894, thanks to the British Ambassador and the French Government's support, she formed the Franco-British Guild. In the aftermath of the Great War, the Guild was reorganized to become the British Institute in Paris, the first British Institute in continental Europe that offered French and English courses. It was an integral part of the Universite de Paris and was also supported by a consortium of British universities, including the University of London. A library and a clubroom were added, and leading French and British intellectuals and academics were invited to lecture. The Institute's work continued during the German occupation of France. Some staff accepted the hospitality of the University of Reading, where they offered parallel classes in French and English to British and French officers to improve the liaison between them. Others remained in Paris, where they contrived to run covert distance courses in English through-out the war.

At London Christian High, we believe that everyone has been created on purpose and for a purpose. God has gifted each individual with so many things to offer this world in His service. Our central goal is to help each student develop a more profound sense of whom they are while simultaneously pointing them towards God's purpose in their life. Through a wide range of authentic learning experiences and a rigorous academic program, our students are prepared to head off to any post-secondary program or challenge that God is calling them to after high school. London Christian High opened its doors at 243 Tremont Road in September 1965 by a committed group of people who believed strongly that their Christian faith must be expressed in all life areas, including education. In our first year, we had 27 students enrolled in grades 9 and 10 and three teachers. In 1971, after steadily increasing student enrolment, the school was moved to its present site, a five-acre lot at 24 Braeside Ave. The original school building had one hallway with six classrooms, and, in the 46 years that have passed, we have grown and expanded through many internal renovations and five additions. Each renovation and addition has served to develop and augment our Program of Learning for our students. Our school building is well equipped with the latest technology and equipment – from our laser cutter to teaching kitchen, to the science lab, to fully equipped construction technology shop, to the art studio, to language classrooms – each space was designed to optimize each students' success in learning. London Christian High follows the Ministry of Education curriculum and is inspected every two years. As a result of successful inspections, students receive the Ontario Secondary School Diploma upon graduation. Since its beginning, London Christian High has been a parent-directed school. The Board of Directors comprises alumni, community members, and parents of current, former, and future students, whose joint commitment is to offer high-quality Christian education. The Board, elected by the London Christian High membership, provides governance oversight to the school's daily operation. As an independent Christian school, London Christian High does not receive government funding; operational funds are generated from tuition fees, donations, and fundraising. We continue to be grateful for our founders' faithfulness and commitment, for taking the risk of establishing a school more than 50 years ago. We are also grateful to God for His ongoing faithful care for our students and school.

Students report that their involvement with the IB has given them the tools needed to succeed at college. Students comment on their sense of preparedness, self-confidence, research skills, and ability to manage their time. Even more important, they have developed a sense of the world around them and their responsibility to it. Diploma Programme students study six subjects (three at standard level and three at a higher level) over two years and complete three additional requirements: the theory of knowledge (TOK), the extended essay, and CAS—creativity, activity, and service tasks outside of the classroom. In addition to these requirements, students must earn a minimum of 24 points out of a possible 45 points on the final assessments, which are externally marked and moderated by the IB, in order to receive an IB diploma.

London Christian Learning Centre was started in 1990 through the home-school of the Bolus family. Rev. Ricardo Bolus and his wife, Ida Bolus, founded the school in Finsbury Park, North London. They pioneered the school with their children and later partnered with other missionary parents in training their children. After much prayer and waiting, in June 2005, LCLC obtained the DFES registration and was officially recognized by the government as an Independent school. The school is now situated at 639-643 Romford Road, Manor Park, London E12 5AD where we are hoping to enlarge our facilities. With a humble beginning of just six students, the school has grown. We believe as God continues to entrust us with the resources, LCLC will endeavor to educate more and more students in the future. We Believe in the Sovereignty and grace of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit in creation, providence, revelation, redemption, and final judgment. The divine inspiration of the Holy Scripture and its consequent entire trustworthiness and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.The universal sinfulness and guilt of fallen man making him subject to God's wrath and condemnation.The substitutionary sacrifice of the incarnate Son of God as the sole and all-sufficient ground of redemption from the guilt and power of sin and its eternal consequences. The justification of the sinner solely by the grace of God through faith in Christ crucified and risen from the dead. Our Vision is to make available an education that is Biblically based and academically excellent in a godly environment. Our Mission is to glorify God by leading boys and girls to a personal knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ and help them grow to Christ-like maturity and discover their life's purpose. Our objectives for Students : That each child will accept the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour. That each one will grow in this faith to become an obedient disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ. That each one will learn to serve and thus find and follow God's call on their life. That they will strive for excellence in the gifts that God has given. On the surface, most schools look alike—buildings, personnel, curriculum, and budgets. The A.C.E. program is different. For over 40 years, it has been the trendsetter in Biblical educational reform. Its philosophy is built on basic principles of the Word of God. Students are taught to see life from God’s point of view, to take responsibility for their learning, and to walk in Godly wisdom and character. Accelerated Christian Education® is not just a publisher but a comprehensive Bible-based program that serves both the campus-based school and the homeschool. We want to prepare children for the world today and give them the academic and spiritual tools necessary to achieve their God-given potential. At A.C.E., our purpose in providing educational materials goes beyond simply helping students learn the academics required to enter college or get a good job. We desire to build in students a life-long burning passion to learn and grow spiritually. It is one thing to want children to be successful and quite another to provide the academic and character training to ensure this accomplishment. Godly character training is part of the A.C.E. learning experience, and it prepares students to welcome and accept challenges and future opportunities. Sixty character traits, such as kindness, loyalty, and honesty, are taught within the curriculum. Students can observe character development in the true-to-life character strips and then apply the Godly character lessons to their own lives. Challenging and highly effective, the A.C.E. program is an extraordinary educational approach, Biblical in its core, that prepares students for tomorrow’s world while giving them traditional moral values that will last a lifetime. Accelerated Christian Education—a unique program for this time in history—is building Godly citizens and Christian leaders of tomorrow. A.C.E. is your servant to meet the educational needs of today, with the traditional values of yesterday, and the technology of tomorrow. With A.C.E.’s concept of individualized learning, students don’t just get by—they get ahead! To God be the glory!

East London Science School, a dynamic new secondary school in Bromley-by-Bow. We are about to embark on our fifth year as we approach our first set of GCSE grades in August 2018. This year is about turning dreams into reality. However, even now we still hold to the ideals that we started with. To give every child the best possible education we can offer. We are an exciting, friendly, and ambitious school for both our pupils and parents. We have offered 125 places to pupils starting in September 2017 with a waiting list for places. We work very closely on our admissions with Newham. However, we are not restricted to taking pupils from Newham. Our pupils come to us from across East London including Tower Hamlets. What attracts pupils to the East London Science School is a commitment to deliver a high-quality academic education to all pupils regardless of background or ability. All pupils are given the same demanding curriculum from Year 7 onwards. The focus on science means all pupils receive physics, chemistry, and biology lessons from specialist teachers. Whether it's mathematics, English, languages, the arts, or humanities, pupils receive the same rigorous subject specialist education. We aim to give all our pupils a solid foundation of knowledge which they can draw upon for the rest of their lives. Over the past three years, we have seen our pupils put on two Shakespeare productions, take part in a growing number of sports fixtures and inter-school debating competitions. This alongside their impressive academic performance is already proof enough that they are well on their way to success. Our unique enrichment program has taken pupils on well over 500 trips in the last academic year. With visits to venues as diverse as the Greenwich Observatory and Kings College computer science laboratory. During our Enrichment Fortnight pupils visited the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford. We visited places as far afield as IWM Duxford and Box Hill in Surrey. Our pupils enjoyed residential trips to China, Belgium, New York, and Devon with more planned for next year. We want to open the eyes of every pupil to a whole world of possibilities. We want our pupils’ ambitions to know no limits. We take every opportunity to allow our pupils to hear from leading figures in science and participate in exciting events. Whether it's attending the Royal Society Summer Exhibition or attending New Scientist Live, we want our pupils to find out what it’s like to be involved in science and engineering beyond education. We live in one of the greatest cities in the world. We make sure our pupils have the opportunity to experience everything that London has to offer and more besides. Our enrichment curriculum gives lower school pupils an afternoon out in London every week. Whether they are learning portrait sketching in the Wallace Collection or visiting the Great Equatorial Telescope at Greenwich, it is this first-hand access to such prized venues that sets their imaginations alight. All our girls and boys will receive an excellent academic education which will rival the best on offer in public schools. We aim to give our pupils the confidence to strive for success in everything they do. We will give our pupils a unique space in which their imaginations are set free and given the chance to flourish. All children deserve the best education possible. Education is about more than achieving good grades. We aim to show pupils that ideas have the power to shape the world we live in. We want to instill a love of learning that lasts a lifetime. Good teaching is the best way to open a child’s mind. We expect all our teachers to engage our pupils by intellectually challenging them and bringing knowledge of everything from the sciences, arts, and languages to life. Pupils should be encouraged to nurture their talents and develop new skills. We will foster our pupils’ talents in the arts, sports, and debate to create a space for all our pupils to thrive. Our technical education will give pupils the knowledge and skills necessary for careers in high-tech industries.

The BDT helps UTCs benefit from being a part of a bigger network by providing opportunities to share good practices, attend seminars, and stretch budgets through joint procurement. The BDT educational advisers help to develop curricula and advise on suitable technical qualifications. Supporting UTCs with setting standards, issues around leadership and management, and through liaising with the universities and employers who are UTC partners. The BDT raises awareness of UTCs with the government, the media, and the public. By increasing the profile of UTCs there aim is to ensure that everyone has an understanding of UTCs and what they offer to young people, employers, and the wider community. Represent the interests of UTCs when it comes to curricula, qualifications, and Department for Education policy. “Amongst the first UTCs, no student has joined the ranks of the unemployed. Every student continued in education or went into employment or training. There were no “NEETs” [Not in Education, Employment or Training] and this is our aim for all UTCs.” We are a student-focused, high-tech school where academic excellence and employer partners create the next generation of confident, independent, work-ready individuals. Our first-class facilities and specialist equipment, combined with our outstanding staff, provide experiences that will equip the students of LDE UTC with the skills needed to secure employment or routes into higher education. The curriculum is delivered through interesting and exciting employer-led projects, enabling learning by doing. Learning will be relevant and memorable and boost our students’ academic achievement. With expert careers, advice from our employer partners and university, mentoring, site visits, and work placements, every student has the opportunity to secure paid employment through a paid traineeship or apprenticeship – or a place in higher education, for which bursaries and scholarships are available. LDE UTC offers personalized learning based on a challenging curriculum with clear progression into employment, higher education, or apprenticeships. This is a school for achievers, you will be expected to have a real flair in design and engineering subjects, and a thirst for wanting to develop your skills and life chances. We motivate students as independent enterprising individuals with a desire to succeed, high self-esteem, and confidence in their own identities. We commit ourselves wholeheartedly to everything we do. We approach our work with enthusiasm, energy, and positivity. We do what we do because we love it and this passion shines through. We are always learning and challenging ourselves and each other, to be the very best we can be. We dare to improve the way we work and exceed expectations. We take time to listen to each other and treat people in the way they want to be treated. We are supportive, inclusive and recognize everyone has their skills and experience to offer. All our family has a voice. We look after ourselves, our colleagues, and our community. We have a zero-compromise approach to health, safety, and well-being. We take responsibility and never walk on by. We are proactive – focusing only on solutions instead of problems. We celebrate our past, we are proud of what we do today and we are excited about our future.

London Enterprise Academy is a small, more personal school with no more than 120 pupils in each year group. Students are grouped in smaller class sizes. This means teachers will get to know every pupil as an individual and be able to closely nurture and challenge them all. We have a longer school day, a wide range of extra-curricular activities, and a more personalized curriculum for our students. Our curriculum focuses on every student mastering the most important subjects and skills, particularly English, Maths, and Science. We aim to encourage our students to become “learners for life” by embedding enterprise skills throughout the curriculum. We embrace technological advancement and innovation to ensure our students have the latest facilities available to make learning exciting, engaging, and fun. With smaller classes, your child will receive more personal attention and be less likely to be overwhelmed by the transition to secondary school. We work with professionals and entrepreneurs to provide mentoring to our pupils from a young age to inspire them to become the leaders of tomorrow. We demand high standards from our pupils and staff, with a ‘no excuses’ approach to work and discipline. Our vision is to establish an outstanding school that will ensure students achieve personal success in their school life and beyond. We believe success at school provides a strong foundation for students to become engaged citizens who believe in themselves and can bring about positive change, for themselves and the society they live in. Our school’s ethos will support this vision by creating a school that is sympathetic to the social background of the students given the Tower Hamlets location and proactive concerning the unique opportunities this dynamic and well-situated borough affords. Central to our school’s ethos is a student-centric and individualized learning approach designed to achieve personal success for every student, regardless of where their abilities lie. Our curriculum is designed to equip our students as engaged citizens who will have the right skills to be active participants in modern British society. The school gives parents additional choice in their quest for a school providing outstanding education, focusing on excellence in academic achievement and in an environment that nurtures their child to develop a strong sense of social, moral, spiritual, and cultural development without having to pay. We all want our children to live in a safe and loving environment so that they can grow up to become happy, confident adults. You will already know that your children can be vulnerable to risks both inside and outside the home, and will have taken steps to protect them so they can grow, learn and develop to their fullest potential. The regulations state that to meet the standard for the SMSC development of pupils, the proprietor of the independent school, academy, or free school must Actively promote the fundamental British values: democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. We have a fully vetted and monitored extracurricular activities program. All activities are monitored for neutrality. We offer major religious groups the opportunity to practice under their faith. There are Muslim prayers every day of the week for both boys and girls. All sessions are supervised by a Muslim member of staff. LG members monitor the prayers for content, attendance, and safety. London Enterprise Academy is a fully inclusive school. We offer accessibility and support to children with a wide range of needs and have adapted resources to support them. We review our practices regularly to make sure all students are fully included in the lesson. Students are mindful of others’ needs and aware of how they should adapt their behavior to support them. Our school core values are leadership, enterprise, ambition, drive, excellence, and respect. It is our vision that the curriculum with all its enrichment opportunities will give our students the chance to develop these qualities. Many of the enrichment opportunities will give the students insight into a range of skills and subjects so that they can grow their experiences and discover new talents. Many of the subjects can be offered as a certificate or qualification (or lead to a wider choice of GCSEs in the future) and will be an enhancement to any CV. Fundamentally, we want our pupils to become confident, creative, and critical problem-solving citizens with broad experiences that not only enhance their GCSE achievements but also give them the skills needed for the 21st Century workplace and to embrace “Learning for life”.

Since 1885 the Prep 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, kept pace with pedagogy and technology, and looked to inspire excellence in its pupils. On 1st September 2011, the school’s name was changed to Dulwich Prep London, launching a new and exciting era in its growth and development. Dulwich Prep London is essentially a boys’ school with about 850 pupils between the ages of 3 and 13. In the Early Years Department, girls are also welcomed. Dulwich Prep London inspires excellence and our greatest success is measured by the character of our boys. Our values sow the seeds of possibility in the mind, heart, and spirit of each boy and create the right culture and the right conditions to allow these possibilities to flourish and become real. For our boys, their time at school is about more than preparation for exams, it is preparation for life. We believe that an education rooted in teaching character is what sets our boys apart. Through Justice, Gratitude, Self-Discipline, Love, Honesty, Humility, Courage, and Service we want to teach our boys how to be kind and offer help where it is needed to play fair and tell the truth no matter who is listening to join in and play their part whilst letting others be heard to appreciate the world around them and how valuable their contribution is and always to have a go. Our school’s priority is the well-being and happiness of the boys. Each boy’s sense of belonging is paramount to his success and the continuing success of the school. Our boys are challenged in their pursuit of excellence and we support each boy as he finds what he is good at. We want our boys to leave us having experienced the very best in pastoral care, teaching, and learning, having enjoyed the most dynamic and demanding academic and co-curricular programs, and having made friends for life. These are the key building blocks for the school, but it is our values that act as the cement which bonds everyone and everything together. Our values create Dulwich Prep London’s special atmosphere. At Dulwich Prep London we recognize that learning is an exciting journey upon which every student embarks and understand that each student’s ‘learning journey is unique. We believe that learning can be seen much like a muscle. The learning muscle can be fuelled, trained, and subsequently strengthened by a plethora of different opportunities and experiences, each tailored to the individual. Through an innovative and challenging curriculum, Dulwich Prep London seeks to foster a growth mindset in all of its students. Many educators want children to ‘reach their potential. At Dulwich Prep London we believe that there is no limit to a child’s potential. Through recognition of endeavor, appropriate challenge, and the development of a learning toolkit we hope to enable every child to find success in the future, most likely in professions or scenarios that we cannot begin to imagine. At Dulwich Prep we seek to promote independence in learning and aim to develop learners who move into senior schools with confidence in their strategies for learning and thus welcome academic challenge. The developmental process is gradual and inextricably linked to maturity, however, support structures and scaffolds are put in place for each student from the very beginning of their learning journey. The curriculum in the Lower School offers a seamless transition from Pre-Prep Years 1 and 2. Many of the subjects continue to be delivered by class teachers, however, the number of specialist subject lessons increases. This helps the boys to become more independent and experience a variety of teachers and teaching styles whilst also enabling the reinforcement of a growth mindset in each boy. Whilst subject knowledge remains an extremely important facet of the curriculum, the focus on skills and the continued incorporation of support for the development of characteristics of effective learning also has great emphasis. A wider range of academic subjects is taught in sets, which help respond to the needs of each individual and provide appropriate challenges for every ability level. Utilizing the foundations laid in previous sections by class teachers, form tutors help provide pastoral support to the boys but also help guide their tutees through the academic rigors of each day. Subjects formerly taught within a topic-based approach become discrete lessons in this section of the school. Specialist Geography, History, RS, Art, and DT teachers help each boy progress through thought-provoking schemes of work which help develop subject knowledge but also, and importantly, new skills relevant to each subject area. The Upper School curriculum prepares boys for exam success whilst continuing to foster a love for learning. Boys are taught to think and reflect on their learning and Costa’s Habits of Mind continue to provide a framework of learning which helps them face and overcome the academic challenge. We recognize that the boys, at this stage in their education, are of ‘secondary’ age and require a curriculum and support network which is relevant, inspiring, and challenging. Beyond the academic subjects, boys enter a creative rotation through Years 7 and 8 where they explore Art, Design and Technology, Music Technology, Cooking, Robotics, and Computing. A careful balance between the academic preparation for exams and the broadening of an individual’s horizons is sought and managed. An appropriate work-life balance is encouraged to ensure boys are learning efficiently and effectively, but most importantly, with passion and drive.
