What's wrong with Bellenden?

[Cassieelizabeth]

My daughter is due to start reception next year so I am embarking on many open days at the moment as well as general school research. It seems that SJSC, The Belham and Goose Green are all well loved and much commented upon, but everyone goes a bit quiet when it comes to Bellenden.

Is anyone able to give an opinion either good or bad regarding Bellenden...

I think it's a very good school. It has excellent results and they have moved into a brand new site. I've been there in a volunteer capacity for the Red Box project and have been impressed by the staff I met. It has a higher than average number of pupil premium students AND has excellent results which I think makes it more impressive than schools with a lower than average number of pupil premium students. It used to be further away from East Dulwich - near Peckham Rye Station so not many children from the area went there (my own son went to Goose Green Primary). Now it's situated nearer, perhaps it will become more popular.

I have a child at the nursery and she loves it, I've been really impressed so far. The whole school community seems very caring and the new building is lovely.
