Second possible site is in Rotherhithe, so not v. helpful for E. Dulwich.

It's certainly no secret. Public website, newspaper articles, 3 open meetings for those who are interested. The attendees at those did not all have bilingual kids.

Also, the hospital site comprises not just the hospital itself, but a surprising large lot of undeveloped land next to it.

@alice, I'm shocked at the "vanity project at taxpayers expense" comment. Southwark and surrounding boroughs are very short on primary school places. It's not as if there is no need. The organisers have been working to get this school started for two years now. Most of them have kids who are bilingual in English and German. You might be surprised at how many German speakers live in the Dulwich area. This is hardly a vanity project.
