Awards

We have most recently won Talk Education’s Awards for Innovation in Education 2023 for our work in future proofing students, preparing them for the careers of the future and giving them key skills to succeed.

Over the past five years, we have won multiple awards, most notably in the Independent School of the Year Awards, winning the much coveted Boarding School of the Year and also receiving the accolade of the Special Judges’ Award for Independent School of the Year. The school is recognised for its unique space in the independent education sector as it innovates and leads new ways of delivering education and pastoral care, while striving to create unique learning opportunities for its students.

A full list of our successes are listed below and are in recognition of the effort that DLD expends to providing a high-quality education, offering state-of-the-art boarding, supporting students at the highest levels with their personal development and wellbeing, and creating extraordinary young adults who progress onto some of the top universities in the UK and abroad.
