Simon give the DFE press release (see below) The Charter School East Dulwich The ?outstanding? and heavily over-subscribed Charter School will be opening a second school in 2016 on the site of the former East Dulwich hospital. Catering for 1220 students, the school will meet the huge demand for new places in the Dulwich area. Charter School East Dulwich will encourage all students to become creative, confident and caring citizens. The school will also offer work-related learning through a partnership with King?s College Hospital, the largest local employer. Which appeared to take you slightly by surprise, can I seek some reassurance as a year 5 parent about the vision for the school 1). Are you deliberately seeking to draw a distinction between the Academic Charter 1, and a more vocational Charter 2? 2). What have you promised or committed that has informed or shaped this press release, that heavily stresses vocational links and a work related partnership with Kings College Hospital? 3). Could I invite you to publish your bid in full so we can evaluate your proposed vision and the values that your new school hopes to embrace. TimN
