A future-focused education at Sydenham and Dulwich Girls GDST
Sydenham & Dulwich Girls GDST has been awarded Most Progressive UK School at the LUXlife Private Education Awards 2026, for its future-focused education.
The judges were 'particularly impressed by the school’s modern and future-facing educational approach. Its curriculum is designed not only to deliver academic excellence, but also to develop critical thinking, problem solving, visual culture, digital innovation and emotional intelligence. The school’s bespoke Elevate Curriculum further reinforces this progressive outlook by focusing on independent enquiry, communication, collaboration, creative thinking, sustainability, and financial literacy - all of which reflect a clear commitment to preparing pupils for a rapidly changing world… This recognition highlights Sydenham & Dulwich Girls GDST’s outstanding contribution to modern independent education in the UK'.
With almost 140 years of experience educating girls, the school is delighted by the recognition of its continual reflection and improvement on what girls really need to prepare them for life. The school’s brand-new innovation and creative spaces, and new Sixth Form, will open in June 2026.
