. . . is to be rebuilt as another site for Haberdasher Askes School. Hot tip this, from the inside.


Many might feel the H A brand was well over-extended as it is, but it's a crazy free-market fantasy we live in, so here they come like another corporation with their product offering.

Will that be alongside a community medical centre or is the medical side now to be scrapped? A site of this size has to offer something for all of the community not just one section. Fully appreciate we need more schools but we also need more healthcare especially for the elderly.

I read it first on the thread in the family room - sixteen pages long with 17000 views

The area has a huge shortage of school places and there aren't many vacant sites large enough to accommodate a new secondary. I think this is good news. It's a big site, so I would think that there would be space for health care facilities too, but I guess we'll have to wait to see exactly what the plans are.

Is there a strategic, coherent proposal for the site? The LibDems are working hard to ensure part of the land is used for a new secondary school but as KK has posted above, the land doesn't belong to them or the Council. Don't get me wrong, I fully appreciate the need for a new school and am supportive of the site being used for one IF there is sufficient land left over after the medical facility is built and the health needs of East Dulwich have been met.

Haha, that's exactly what I was thinking.

It would be a free school and as LondonMix says non faith and non selective, and co-ed.


Its a non-political steering committee leading the way with the secondary application and we have Haberdasher's Askes officially on board as a provider of the school in our applciation (as well as support form 500 local families so far). James Barber is the councillor who initiated the steering group - and he has put in a 'right to bid' application for the site. This is a very new way of asking Parliament to consider the use of government land - and the Dulwich Hospital site is the one of the first (if not the first) such applications - since it only came into existience in January. So we shall see what happens with it and whether this might enable a use for the site other than a developer buying and building residential - as could so easily happen.


Healthcare would still be part of the site in any event I think.

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
