Dwight School London

The school is committed to 'igniting the spark of genius in every child' through a personalised educational journey that values the whole student over a test-based mentality. It fosters a warm, inclusive, and diverse community that emphasises inquiry-led learning, critical thinking, and global citizenship. The school's ethos is built on the pillars of personalised learning, community, and a global vision.

The school offers the full International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum: the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for ages 2-11, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for ages 11-16, and the Diploma Programme (DP) for ages 16-18. The curriculum focuses on inquiry-led learning, concept-based teaching, and the development of the IB learner profile. Small class sizes, typically limited to 20 students, support a tailored academic experience across all stages.

Graduates consistently secure places at top universities in the UK, USA, and worldwide, including Oxbridge. The school reports strong academic results, such as a 33-point average in the IB Diploma Programme and a 95% pass rate. Students are prepared for life in both British and global society, demonstrating critical thinking and active citizenship.

The school offers the 'QUEST' learning support programme, which provides tailored intervention across three levels: intermediate, intensive, and holistic wraparound support. This programme addresses needs such as speech and language, occupational therapy, and academic enrichment, while also focusing on emotional and social development. Additionally, the school provides compulsory English as an Additional Language (EAL) support where recommended.

The admissions process is managed by the school's admissions team, with specific offices located at the Jubilee Campus. Prospective families are encouraged to book open days or virtual tours to learn about the school's personalised approach. The school offers scholarships and visionary grants to support families, and provides specific guidance for international applicants.

The school operates on a three-term academic year, typically running from early September to mid-July. Each term includes a half-term break, with longer winter and spring breaks separating the terms. The calendar features key events such as residential trips for Junior and Senior School students, graduation ceremonies, and various student showcases.

The school operates across four North London locations: the Woodside Campus (Nursery and Junior School), the Jubilee and Spahn Campuses (Senior School), and dedicated playing fields in Arnos Grove. Facilities include classrooms, design and technology rooms, school halls, and outdoor spaces. The school also maintains a Forest School programme and offers various rooms and sports facilities for private hire.

The school provides a range of extra-curricular programmes, including after-school clubs and activities. Students participate in residential trips, music conservatory programmes, and LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art) training. Sports offerings include football, volleyball, netball, and basketball, supported by dedicated playing fields.
