Charities & Community

Making a Difference Together at Dolphin School London

At Dolphin School London, located on Northcote Road, Battersea, community is at the heart of everything we do. Guided by our values of Love, Wisdom and Truth, we nurture bright, compassionate children who actively shape a better world. Our small, inclusive prep school fosters empathy, responsibility and global awareness through purposeful charity, service and cultural engagement.

Local Impact Through Compassionate Action

Giving back is part of growing up at Dolphin. Our pupils learn leadership and kindness through hands-on community projects:

Harvest Giving – We collect and deliver supplies to Wandsworth Foodbank, teaching children about food insecurity and generosity.
Spreading Joy – Visits to local care homes bring carols, crafts and cheerful company to elderly neighbours.
Bridging Cultures – Year 5 pupils engage in interfaith exchanges with nearby schools, promoting empathy and mutual respect.
Eating Local – School lunches prepared by a nearby Mediterranean restaurant create healthy meals—and strong neighbourhood ties.
Loving Loudly – From handing out kindness notes on Northcote Road to the “Share the Love” campaign, our pupils spread positivity throughout our community.

These real-world connections build character, gratitude and a sense of civic purpose.

Global Perspective: Kenya Partnership

Our longstanding link with a school in Kenya brings international awareness into everyday school life:

Pupil-led Fundraising – Bake sales and sponsored walks support education initiatives.
Family Collaboration – Parents and children work together to send supplies and amplify impact.
Supporting Entrepreneurs – We partner with The Lunchbowl Network, promoting craft-made goods from Kibera, Kenya.

This global connection fosters empathy, gratitude and a broader worldview in our school community.

Student Leadership Through Social Enterprise

Our Social Enterprise Enrichment programme empowers pupils to lead:

Organise Macmillan coffee mornings
Host charity events supporting Centrepoint, Macmillan Cancer Support, Poppy Appeal, WWF and others
Coordinate uniform donations and environmental projects

Through these initiatives, pupils grow in collaboration, resilience and leadership—becoming confident changemakers.

Character Education in Action

Dolphin’s Christian ethos underpins a holistic education—instilling moral clarity, kindness, and social responsibility in a way that resonates across all faiths and backgrounds. Charity is woven into classrooms, assemblies, and everyday life.
