Hi there,


Does anybody have any up-to-date info on the six-storey Salvation Army HQ being built opposite Denmark Hill Station / next to William Booth Training College?


From the planning permission / plans, it looks like they were aiming to be finished at the end of 2021. As far as I can see, they've demolished the two existing buildings but not sure they've got any further than that? Am sure things have been delayed due to Covid, etc., but wondering if there's any info on revised timescales.


Links here in case of interest!

My concern is that it's a very large development that is going to create long-term disruption and directly affect the residential properties immediately behind / next to it, including obscuring some of their light and views.


I was enquiring as to the timescales though, rather than anything else! I can't find any updates online so was asking here in case anybody knew anything, as the entire building was due to be up and built by the end of 2021.

It's been approved by the Council, will provide lots of new jobs (hopefully) but in view of Covid they may struggle to use the space effectively. There is a general shortage of building materials and potentially workmen due to Covid. Perhaps enjoy the quiet till work resumes.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
