Charter ED: when moving to 240/yr?

[gm99]

Hello,

Does anyone know when the Charter ED will be expanding to a 240 pupil intake?

We're a year away from secondary applications and wondering about the distance criteria.

Thank you.

From their site ? Over the coming years, the school will continue to grow until it reaches its full capacity of 1,680 students via eight forms of entry. Work on phase two of the Charter East Dulwich campus is due to get underway in 2020 and will see the addition of dedicated music and drama teaching spaces as well as outdoor sports facilities and a multi-use assembly hall. The entire campus complex, on the site of the old East Dulwich Hospital, is expected to be completed by 2022.?

Thank you - though it's unclear to me if that definitely means a 240 entry size for Sept '22

It most likely to be dependent on completion of the next phase of the building.

1680 children? Yikes - with little outside space that is hard to imagine... Will look more like a cramped inner city school. Such a shame they couldn't have more of the space that is now used for the very large Tessa Jowell GP surgery car park.

Does anyone know if the head teacher at East Dulwich Charter is leaving? Might be idle gossip but would like to know as considering accepting place there and would like to know..

Thanks!

Jellybeanz - I've just posted on the School Places thread about this - new Charter ED and ND heads have just been announced.

Agree with you about the size of the Tessa Jowell GP surgery car park - such a shame some of this couldn't have been used by the school. Seems quite retro to build a big car park these days, especially when it's so near a train station/bus routes etc. Though I believe there is a lot more outside space to be freed up for the school once the old 'chateau' has been converted - there will be space for outdoor tennis courts etc.
