  15. Alleyns used to be the main boys' grammar school for E Dulwich until 1976 when the then new Labour government abolished the direct grant (which meant anyone could have a place so long as they passed the 11+; if their income was too low, they paid nothing at all; there was a national sliding scale of fees). The school had no desire to become fee paying, but that was forced upon it. And I believe that the current chairman of governors has the ultimate aim of making the school once again free to those whose incomes are below a certain level. That cannot be achieved overnight - of course - but it is a fine aim which many in the area might benefit from if they wished, one day. The income from the Dulwich estates (sic) is shared between DC, JAGs, Alleyns, St Olaves and a few other schools, according to Edward Alleyn's original (modified) bequest.

  18. Just a couple of factual corrections might be in order to Hagrid's post. Southwark has never paid for any places at Alleyns. It is true that the old ILEA did so (at DC and others also) till about 1970. Although there are lots of coaches that go off to Blackheath, Bromley, Wandsworth, Tooting etc etc these only take about 50 each, and nearly all are shared with DC and JAGS, so they may park at Alleyns, but they also serve JAGs and sometimes DC. Most pupils do in fact come from the local postcodes, such as SE21 SE22 SE24 SE5 SE23 SE27 SE19 SW2.
