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?

    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.
