Having been first published in 1991, this edition of the magazine marks the 32nd anniversary of the Inter Schools Advertiser. Founded by Bridget Woodcock, the wife of the then Headmaster of Dulwich College Prep, it has undergone various ownership changes and evolved continuously throughout its history. The decline of freely distributed publications has been inevitable over time, primarily due to the increasing prominence of online exposure and the prevalence of social media advertising. Despite these challenges, we are embracing change by providing a digital version of our magazine on our website, in addition to the printed version, and actively engaging with our audience through our various social media platforms. Make sure to follow us so that you don't miss out on our updates.
