Housemaster : Mr Sam Coe

House Prefects :
Dunlop House acquired its name from a family who tragically lost
five sons whilst they were serving in various military
organisations during the First World War. All of them were Old
Victorians and when the College changed its house system in the
1920's, one was named Dunlop in recognition of their bravery and
ultimate sacrifice. Today, Dunlop House and all its members are
still in contact, and regularly communicate with the present Dunlop
family who now live in South Africa.
Today, the ethos of the House is 'get involved, try your best
and enjoy the experience.' With this attitude and commitment we
famously won the College's Blomfield Trophy, awarded for the best
sporting house, in 2008 after a wait of 28 years!
Modern day 'Dunlopians' can take part in a whole range of house
based activities including sport, drama, art and music. All boys
are encouraged to participate in a range of events, regardless of
their ability. If not competing, we consistently enjoy healthy
support from the 'side lines'. In addition, the house is committed
to raising funds for our chosen charity through events including a
house meal and various community activities every year. The
House's mascot is the yellow Dunlop lion, reflecting our tenacious
spirit!
Mr. Sam Coe, Dunlop Housemaster
