Friday, 20th March, 2019 Welcome from the Head of School I have been hugely heartened and encouraged by what I have seen, read and heard within the Dwight School London community this week.
Despite the school closing from Monday as a result of the Coronavirus outbreak, I am certain that our strong, positive community will endure. The school building is just the shell of Dwight, and the spirit and soul of who we are reaches well beyond them and is carried through our relationships, aspirations and shared vision and values.
Although we cannot predict when this will be over, nor what changes we will have all had to make, I do know that when it does we will reflect, move on and continue to provide a world class learning experience for our children. Please do not hesitate to reach out to the school community should you need support or advice during these next few weeks.

Webinars Dwight Global will host a series of webinars for parents to assist students affected by school closures. Dwight Global will run one or two webinars every week starting the week of March 23 and ending the week of April 30. The schedule is still being finalised but will be available here.
Classlist Classlist can give us ideas of how to help other families during this challenging time. Angela Bridge, who leads our DPA, has set up an event to gather volunteers to help other families who may have to quarantine. Hopefully, people will sign up and the families who are in need can reach out for help through Classlist. UPPER SCHOOL Alumni Event - with Gustav, Class of 2015 A former Dwight graduate, Gustav Hagild visited the school on Tuesday 17th March, to speak to the diploma students about his experience at university.
