I don't think many people wouldn't choose Charter if they could. It ticks a lot of boxes (and has done for a good many years). It's just it has limited capacity and a catchment few of us can afford. It's not options we want, it's quality. Having starting the looking at secondary schools process, Harris schools do not offer something either equal or equivalent to Charter (and I say this as someone who liked the look of another even more!). But that's not meant in any way to damn the excellent idea of a new secondary on the Dulwich Hospital site. Just a vote against more of what we've already got. More Harris academies will not add to a diversity of schools in the area.

Another vote for co-ed, and non-Harris. But I know no new LA schools, only academies and free schools in Southwark. Like many I'd like my kids (yrs 3 and 5) to go to a good state co-ed secondary school with a catchment and high expectations ? couldn't Charter be convinced to expand onto the hospital site?
