Growth and Change

From the late 1950s, development at the Catford site accelerated. A swimming pool was added in 1955 and cricket pavilion and nets in 1958. The college's famous glass-walled dining hall was built in 1961. The hyperbolic paraboloid roof requires no internal supports, and at the time was one of only four hyperbolic paraboloid structures in the world. In 1994, the college expanded to include a pre-prep school for ages four and above. That same year, St Dunstan's became a

, with the gradual integration of girls at all ages. In 2018, the college opened its pupil wellness centre, which offers a dedicated facility for pupil wellbeing. The centre houses the school nurse, chaplain and counselling services. In the same year, the college developed two new multi-use games areas (MUGAs) for its sports department, and the wider community, located at the college's Jubilee Grounds. In January 2020, the most significant developments started on the school site since its foundation in 1888. A new Junior School building, STEM block and Sixth Form Centre was added to the grounds. At the time, Head Nick Hewlett said 'As one of the first schools in the world to have invested in science and technology laboratories, it seems fitting that, 130 years on, we are creating state-of-the-art STEM facilities for the next generation of Dunstonians.' Following the opening of the STEM Block, the old science block and design engineering workshops were transformed into a performing arts centre. In January 2023, the school announced a merger with Rosemead Preparatory School in Dulwich. Speaking about the merger, St Dunstan's Head, Nick Hewlett, said: 'We are delighted to be bringing our schools together, which will strengthen and enrich both our communities. The two schools have a long and deep commitment to a values-driven education, preparing our young students for the world of tomorrow.'


Awards

In recent years, St Dunstan's has been recognised in several industry awards. In 2020, the school won Co-educational School of the Year at the Independent Schools of the Year Awards. In June 2022, the school was named Independent Senior School of the year at the Tes Awards in London. The College film 'Albam Exorna' also won two awards at the 28th annual Communicator Awards in New York in May 2022. In 2023, St Dunstan's was named Most Progressive School in London at the Private Education Awards.

) and pupils were allocated to them based on where they lived. After the first World War, where hundreds of boys from the school had lost their lives, the houses were renamed after some of the most decorated pupils that served in the war. The new house names were as follows: Bennett (pink), Goosey (dark blue), Griffiths (green), Johnson (purple), Lane (white), Ross (yellow), Thomas (red) and Wilson (light blue). Before September 2023, the houses are named after the first four headmasters of the college. They were called Usherwood (Yellow), Forder (Red), Stuart (Blue) and Hecker (Green). Currently, the house system contains 6 houses, Canterbury, Glastonbury, Ghent, Stepney, Mendip and Worcester, that are named after significant places St. Dunstan lived in.


The Forder Programme

The Forder Programme is the name given to St Dunstan's co-curriculum. The programme is named after the second headmaster of the college, the Revd Forder, who believed passionately that schools should offer more to the education of young people than classroom learning. Revd Forder's education philosophy was to put the health and character of a pupil above the acquisition of knowledge, which led to the introduction of a pioneering programme of 'outside activities'. The first programme which ran at the end of the school day on three afternoons each week included '

, dramatic works, French reading, the production of an honest newspaper, map modelling or lecturettes on industries or photography'. Today, the college describes the Forder Programme as an 'ambitious, forward-thinking programme that gives each individual the freedom to create their own journey'. The programme is categorised into five areas, which are based on the college values: curiosity, compassion, courage, creativity, and confidence. The Forder Programme now has more than 90 activities for pupils to choose from, including the college's

The festival was quickly dubbed 'The Edinburgh Festival of South London' and comprised over twenty main events and 'a rich and enterprising fringe'. The 1994 college Chronicle describes the festival as 'catering for the souls' and it contained an array of eclectic events including the St Dunstan's jazz group, lectures given by writers

and Gwendoline Butler, and a Shakespeare play with a twist, entitled 'A Pocket of Midsummer Night's Dream'. The festival was short-lived, only lasting a few years. The current headmaster, Nick Hewlett, reignited the festival on his arrival at the college, with its relaunch occurring in the summer of 2015. The now two-week event is a firmly established highlight at the end of the academic year, enabling pupils to engage with a huge variety of activities and performances, involving not only the college, but also the broader Lewisham community.

Archives at St Dunstan's

The college's archives contain a rich collection of artefacts relating to the history of the school as well as of the local area. The college works closely with Lewisham Historical Society and in 2018 the college's timeline corridor was opened showcasing original items dating back to 1888. To name but a few rare items, the school has an original lacrosse stick which dates back to the 1930's (the school was the first in the country to promote the game to boys), and the
