Graduating students from DLD College London, a leading independent college, have attended a prestigious celebratory ceremony held at the iconic Methodist Central Hall Westminster.

In what was an unforgettable day for the college community, students donned their formal gowns and caps, and were honoured for their exceptional achievements throughout their time at the multi-award-winning school. The historic host venue, which has previously hosted speeches from luminaries such as former US President Barack Obama, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, and Gandhi, served as a fitting backdrop for the momentous occasion.

The event was graced by the presence of guest of honour Julie Robinson, CEO of the Independent Schools Council, whose wise and motivational words resonated deeply with the graduates, parents and faculty members present. Her speech emphasised the importance of perseverance, innovation and the role of education in shaping a brighter future.

Tim Haynes, Chair of Governors and Chairman of Abbey DLD Group of Colleges also attended the ceremony.

Irfan Latif, Principal at DLD College London commented: “Our graduation ceremony was a remarkable success and I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all involved in this joyous occasion. The event was a testament to the diverse and global community that DLD College London nurtures, with parents and guardians travelling from all corners of the globe to join in the celebration; their presence underscored the strong support system that underpins the students’ education journey.

“As the ceremony concluded, the air was filled with a sense of accomplishment and anticipation for the future. We are confident that the graduates of DLD College London have left with a solid foundation, ready to make their mark on the world with the values and education they have received.”
