Schools on the 363 (route, Crystal Palace direction)?

[theatreaaron]

This afternoon I left work early as I am coming down with something. At the 363 bus stop opposite Wood Vale, after the Horniman Triangle, a gang of school teenagers started attacking/watching the attack of a young girl. I waded into the foray to pull the girls apart and in doing so took a punch in the face, but only a girl punch. After a few minutes of a seeping eye I am uninjured but thought people might be able to help me identify the school. The girls were wearing purple and blue tartan skirts... the bus was coming from Crystal Palace direction. Any ideas?

It could have been Virgo Fidelis situated on Central Hill but their uniform is blue and black. It could also have been Norwood Girls on the same road, they wear a purple blazer not sure about the skirt.

Well done for stepping in. There's quite a bit of 'mock' fighting in the mornings at that stop with drivers often just refusing to let the kids on. No idea what school it is though, sorry.

Cator Park in Beckenham have kilts. The older girls wear navy pullovers and the younger ones red jumpers. Not on 363 route but relatively close.

This is their website if you want to have a look. The best pictures of the uniform are in the prospectus.

SNAP!!!!!!!

Thanks guys...

I don't think that is it... it was more purple than red, I think.

Very difficult to say now but I'd imagine the school was closer, there was a group of around 30 kids both on and off the bus.

Maybe Forest Hill school? Or Kingsdale?

[MrsR]

Forest Hill is a boys school (who wear black) and the Kingsdale uniform is also all black - so it's neither of those. Sounds horrible, please try to identify the uniform and inform the relevant school so that those responsible can be punished.

What's the school after Forest Hill station when you are on the 197/176? That is an all girl's school, I was thinking of that one.

you mean sydenham girls...that has a navy blue uniform

[teresa]

sydenham girls wear purple and blue

[Vik]

No, Sydenham Girls wear Navy.

[Horsebox]

The Met Police have a database of school uniforms. Have you reported this as a crime?

[Penguin68]

sydenham girls wear purple and blue....No, Sydenham Girls wear Navy.

There are two Sydenham Girls schools - the private one (Sydenham High) wear lilac shirts and blue skirts (and light blue, grey or navy pullovers depending upon age) Sydenham Girls wear Navy and light blue. Neither wear tartan, as part of the uniform.

Thanks all for your help.

I think Harris Girls Academy on Homestall Rd wear navy kilts with a blue/purple jumper...

[intexasatthe moment]

The girls were wearing purple and blue tartan skirts

There is no purple or tartan in the uniform worn at Lord Harris's East Duwich Girl's Academy.
