A merger has been announced between St Dunstan’s Education Group and Sidcup co-ed prep West Lodge School
St Dunstan’s Education Group and West Lodge School have announced a merger, which will take effect from 31 August 2026. St Dunstan’s and West Lodge have a long association, enjoying a common south-London heritage, with locations in Catford and Sidcup respectively.
Head of West Lodge School, Robert Francis says: “From the outset, our conversations with St Dunstan’s Education Group revealed a cultural alignment, shared values and a joint commitment to providing an education that prepares children for success in a rapidly evolving world. Our focus is fostering an environment where every child is empowered to develop, reach their full potential and run their own race”.
“I am delighted to be welcoming another school into our group of like-minded and highly successful schools in south London,” says St Dunstan’s Group CEO Nick Hewlett. “West Lodge is a superb school, and I have no doubt that we will enjoy learning from one another as we continue to trailblaze our forward-thinking approach to education.”
West Lodge will be joining a group that comprises St Dunstan’s Junior School, St Dunstan’s Senior School, St Christopher’s The Hall School and Rosemead Preparatory School and Nursery.
