A Proud Celebration… DLD College London Celebrates Class of 2026

Posted: 26th May 2026

The outstanding accomplishments of DLD College London’s diligent Class of 2026 were recently celebrated at a prestigious Graduation Ceremony.

Dressed in their formal gowns and caps, graduating students from the multi-award-winning college came together with parents, guardians, friends and staff members for the memorable occasion. Held at the historic Central Hall Westminster, the ceremony marked the close of one chapter and the exciting start of the next for DLD’s departing cohort.

A key highlight of the much-anticipated ceremony was a special address from guest speaker Dr Zandile Ndlovu, an internationally respected leadership coach, who inspired the audience with reflections on resilience, ambition and the importance of embracing opportunity with confidence and purpose as they move into the next stage of their lives.

The ceremony also featured moving speeches from student representatives, the two departing Heads of School, who reflected on their time at DLD College London, sharing memories of academic growth, personal achievement and the friendships forged during their studies.

James Kidd, Executive Principal at DLD College London, commented,  “It was a wonderful occasion to celebrate our departing students as they reached the end of their journey with us and prepared to embark on exciting new opportunities ahead. The event was made especially memorable by hearing from inspiring members of the wider DLD community, whose experiences offered valuable insight and encouragement for the graduating class. Moments like these are a powerful reminder of the talent, ambition and character of our students, and we wish them every success as they take the next steps in their academic and professional journeys.”
