DLD College London shortlisted for the TES Independent School Awards 2020

DLD College London is celebrating its shortlisting for the ‘Boarding School of the Year’ award in the prestigious TES Independent School Awards 2020.

The most outstanding individuals and institutions that the independent sector has to offer have been recognised in the shortlist for the highly-anticipated awards, with the Westminster Bridge-based college commended for its excellent boarding provision.

At the leading independent boarding school, 250 boarders from 56 nationalities are housed in six ‘Huddles’, each looked after by a ‘Huddle Houseparent’. The much-coveted shortlisting recognises the success of DLD College London as an innovative, ground-breaking Urban Boarding school for students from the age of 14, where in a recent survey 100% of boarders said they felt supported, safe and secure.

Irfan Latif, Principal at DLD College London commented, “We are very proud to receive this accolade for the exceptional work that we have done in improving our boarding provision.”

“It is a great team effort that demonstrates how far we have come in such a short space of time and that by working together, we can achieve so much, as was highlighted recently in our excellent ISI inspection report – nothing is impossible!”

TES editor Ann Mroz said: “The Independent schools in this country are truly exceptional and those that have earned a place on the TES Independent School Awards shortlist are a cut above the rest.”

“We received an unparalleled number of entries this year, all of which are first rate. The schools that have been shortlisted should be proud – it’s a remarkable achievement.”

The winners will be revealed at a gala awards evening at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, London on Friday 7 February 2020.

For those interested, the college is hosting an open evening on Wednesday 29 January 2020, 5pm to 7pm. For more information and to register your interest visit: https://www.dldcollege.co.uk/dld/information/open-...
