Hello from the "Friends of The Charter School East Dulwich" and a big welcome to all those children offered places for September 2017 today. It's an exciting day for lots of children and their parents and carers, and we hope you make the decision to join the school.


The TCSED Friends' / PTA is up and running, and we have already held a number of social and fundraising events, with plans underway for many more. We will hold a welcome event for new starters later in the school year, which we will let you know about nearer the time.

Does anyone have any news on progress with building the new school? There seem to have been diggers clearing the old hospital site in the last fortnight. There's no update yet on the ED Charter website, I'm hoping that will be updated soon.
According to the last school newsletter enabling works are ongoing (destruction of existing buildings and preparation of land) building of main teaching block beginning in April. All very exciting (and more importantly, on schedule)
Does anyone have any information about the plans for the multi-purpose sports facilities? As new local residents overlooking the site, we haven't had the chance to to attend any of the consultation meets yet, but we're concerned that this could mean floodlights being used for evening 5-a-side football.

Hmm, if you're new to the area, you must have known about the school being built (it's been on the cards for years). Isn't that a bit like moving next door to a pub and then complaining about the noise? I don't know how late kids play football (not that late surely?) but I'd have thought a bit of incidental light pollution is a small price to pay for enabling local school kids to make full use of their sports facilities and be healthy and active.

Redjam, I think he might just be checking plans for community 5-a-side leagues to be held at evenings and weekends on the pitches rather than being surprised that a school is being built or begrudging the students from using the facilities.


I understand that the pitches will be floodlit and open to use by the community but this will have to remain within light pollution regulations and have a curfew. I would like to know when that curfew is, i.e. there's a big difference between matches going on until 10pm vs. 8pm. Does anyone know anything about this or how it might be decided?

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful  
    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
