Class of 2026 Leavers' Gift

Join our tradition

As the Class of 2026 approaches the end of their time at Dulwich College, we invite our Year 13 families to come together in a collective act of generosity: the Class of Gift. This collective effort is a powerful way to mark your son’s Dulwich journey by opening the door to the same life-changing education for boys who would otherwise not be able to access it. Our goal this year is to raise £50,000 for the Class of 2026 Gift, which will provide funding for one future Alleynian through the Upper School.

How the gift works

Deposit donation - When your son was offered a place at Dulwich, a deposit was retained by the College. Many Year 13 families choose to donate this deposit to the Class of Gift.

Enhanced gift - Some families choose to amplify their impact by donating their deposit plus an additional gift. These contributions play a vital role in funding bursaries.

Regular giving - Monthly donations allow you to spread your support across the year while making a meaningful, sustained contribution to bursaries at Dulwich.

Why your support matters

Donations from the Class of Gift make up a significant portion of our annual appeal funding; indeed, if every Year 13 family donated their deposit, this would contribute £350,000 towards the College’s bursary programme. In other words, we could fund seven boys through the Upper School. As well as covering fees, this support includes the costs for supplementary items such as uniforms, school trips, school lunches and music lessons.

Joining together

“Mr. Tanna in Year 7 promised us thoughtful young men who possessed good academic results, varied interests, and were kind and considerate. In other words, to fulfil Edward Alleyn's vision of creating a place where scholars could obtain sound learning, strong artistic pursuits, and good manners. Few institutions can say that, 400 years on, they are still true to their roots.

It's also wonderful to see that the vision of providing an education to pupils from all backgrounds continue to be a guiding principle and a point of pride for the College. By donating to the College, we can play a part in these visions, ensuring more and more people benefit from this well-rounded education."
