What is Free Learning?
Pupils and teachers talk about Free Learning and its central role in Dulwich life.
Free Learning
Free Learning is education for education’s sake. It is learning that extends beyond and is free from a syllabus and free from examination, and that challenges pupils to think for themselves.

What is Free Learning
Free Learning is multifaceted education that goes beyond the syllabus. It enriches and nurtures intellectual curiosity. For pupils it provides strong foundations for a lifelong love of independent learning. Interdisciplinary in its very nature, it stimulates light bulb moments and creative connection making. At its best, Free Learning marries academic and emotional intelligence in equal measure, and weaves into many aspects of school life, in the classrooms to the lecture theatre, and through clubs and societies and events, including those with our wider partnership programmes.
