Welcome to Dilworth
In 1894, James Dilworth founded a boarding school for boys from good families with limited means. Over a century later, his remarkable legacy has provided more than 5,000 boys with a life-changing scholarship that includes free tuition, boarding, uniforms, sport fees and music tuition.
The effect? Thanks to the power of an excellent education, we turn good boys into great men - who achieve things they might never have believed possible.
