Results
Academic Excellence: As the school has only recently extended to Year 11, its first cohorts of GCSE results have established a strong baseline. In 2025, students achieved high pass rates, with a significant percentage of grades at 9–7 (A/A equivalent)*, particularly in the core Sciences and Humanities.
ISI Inspection: The school consistently receives “Excellent” ratings in Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) reports, specifically noted for the “exceptional” quality of pupils’ personal development and academic achievement.
Individual Recognition: Students frequently win national awards in Maths Challenges and regional sporting championships, particularly in Athletics and Hockey.
Dulwich Cranbrook is renowned as a premier “feeder” school. While many students now stay for their GCSEs, the majority of leavers successfully transition to prestigious Senior Schools and Sixth Forms:
- Grammar Schools: A high percentage of pupils secure places at Cranbrook School (the local selective state grammar) and The Judd School.
- Elite Independent Schools: Transitions are frequent to Sevenoaks School, Benenden, Tonbridge School, Eton College, King’s Canterbury, and Eastbourne College.
- Scholarships: In 2025, leavers secured over 20 scholarships in Academic, Music, Sport, and Art categories to their chosen senior destinations.
