Perhaps before people believe all the criticism of the girls'school they should look at the most recent Ofsted report (November 2007) www.ofsted.gov.uk and check out the reality of the situation - the intake of the school is way below national averages at the moment, but they are providing generally good teaching and a good and realistic curriculum. Also note that behaviour is deemed to be good. Also on the plans for the boys' school only the main building has been outlined - also on the site is/was a dining room (prefab) and a single storey building adjacent to Friern Road and a schoolkeeper's house. When all these are taken into account the actual area of building is not that much more than before. If I was a parent of a boy in East Dulwich now I would be very worried about their secondary education - there definitely seems to be a bit of NYMBYism going on here!
