A mark of global excellence: We earn prestigious HMC accreditation

Dulwich College Shanghai Pudong has been accredited by the world-renowned HMC group of schools, also known as The Heads’ Conference.

Founded in 1869, HMC currently consists of over 360 members in the UK and across the globe, educating more than 270,000 students. After an accreditation visit last month by two experienced Heads, one from the UK and one from an international school (pictured with Mr Russell, centre), we received a very positive report with lots of strengths highlighted and confirmation of our membership.

HMC is the kitemark of global quality, innovation and excellence in education and our accreditation places Dulwich College alongside some of the finest and oldest educational institutions in the UK and across the world.

Members include Dulwich College London, Charterhouse, Eton College, Gordonstoun, Malvern College, Millfield School, Sevenoaks School, Westminster School, as well as our sister school, Dulwich College Singapore.

HMC schools are individual and distinctive but at their heart are the benefits of a holistic education: academic excellence together with a strong emphasis on pastoral care and exceptional co-curricular provision. Alongside our other affiliations and associations, this accreditation is a significant strengthening of our external partnerships and a great reflection on – and a huge benefit to – our amazing community!

HMC membership provides many benefits for students and their families, including strong advocacy opportunities and connections with key educational bodies, such as exam boards, inspection authorities and educational bodies in areas such as sports and music.

All HMC schools are regularly inspected and accredited to ensure they continue to deliver excellence in education, providing reassurance to parents and students that they are choosing the very best education for their child.
