Aaryan Basu: Head Boy, Autumn Term 2022. 

My favourite memory of when I started at Dulwich Prep London nearly ten years ago was spending the first few days meeting so many new friends that I am pleased to say are still friends to this day. I really believe that we will stay in touch even as we move to different senior schools.

Cricket has been one of my favourite co-curricular activities at the Prep, and I aspire to play professionally. I have been so well supported in following my love of the sport. The coaches and facilities at the Prep have been excellent.

Having the opportunity to act at the school has also left a lasting impression. When I was younger, I had a role in a national TV show and was fully supported by the school in this achievement.

In terms of academics, the teaching has been amazing. The teachers work hard to create interesting lessons and make sure we entirely use the available facilities. If I do not become a professional cricketer, I will most likely follow a career in law. However, I do want to make the point that Science has always been of great interest to me. Although I am not thinking of a future career that uses the subject, I greatly appreciated the wonderful Science block. It has created a love of the subject that I know will last a lifetime.

It will be sad to leave the Prep, but I am excited about the future and cannot wait to build on everything I have learned here.
