NickT - I'm interested know know more if you live to the rear of the station - does your property have off street parking? I'm not aware of any properties on Whateley or the north end of Landcroft that do.

I'm sure there won't be parking at street level in any proposal. at most, there may be some in a basement but I woundnt be surprised to see proposals coming forward without any onsite parking.

I wonder if you could get a basement car park in there...


If that was the case, and the site is a good 22000 sq ft, basement car park, supermarket on the ground floor and 2, possibly 3 levels of flats. Easily recoup the land cost (?5 million) and building cost, ?15-18 million. Completely ill-sited and ill-suited for a school.

New East Dulwich primary schools - update


We have lots of good news.


Permanent Site Agreed

It has been confirmed first thing today that the former East Dulwich Police has been sold to the Education Finance Agency to form the permanent site for our new East Dulwich Harris free primary school. The land area is about the same size as Heber School and Goose Green School. This is brilliant news for local school places. With a permanent site for September 2015 it makes the opening of this school on a temporary site this Setepmber 2014 no longer a gamble for parents. As the school admissions for the first year runs in parallel to the main Southwakr admissions process parents have nothing to lose applying for both and then chosing which of the two places they wish to take up.

I hope you apply for a place for you child.


Second School Application

An application for a second local Harris free primary school was awareded last week. It would open September 2015. It's aim is to fill the large primary school admissions gap around Homestall Road in SE22. So it's been titled Nunhead Harris free primary school.

Our proposed target is that it will also be an outstanding school as per Ofsted and in the top 10% of primary schools for England & Wales both in terms of overall results and individual pupil progression. To meet these three objectives it would be in the top 5% of UK schools. Exactly the high aspirations we need locally for our children.


Solving The Crisis - where are we?

By September 2016 we'll have a shortage of 215-235 primary reception places in the Dulwich area. The already agreed first Harris Primary school for East Dulwich will provide 60 places, the Judith Kerr school that opened last September provides 25 based on distance, The new Dulwich Hamlet school would relieve around 30 places from Goose Green School. The Bessemer Grange extra class will add 30 places. Expanding Ivydale will help slightly in our area.

But this still leaves circa 50-70 extra required spaces.

Hence why the second Harris primary school agreed last week adding 60 places is so important. Work on its permanent site is ongoing.


Questions

With so much going on please do get in touch with any questions of concerns.

I was quite surprised to read that, Heber looks like a much bigger space, but when the building comes down I imagine the space will look a lot bigger.


A new school is undoubtedly needed in the area, so I guess it's good news, I just hope it's well handled.

James, if you have the influence, could you ask those responsible to clear up the mess that's collecting around the station? There is leaf mulch and litter, most of which would due attractive to vermin. Tagging's started on the side doors too. Thanks.

What are you talking about. (Polite Version) Do you really think that would be a good site for a School. ?


Main Road, Traffic, Small Children. Idiot.


Unless you have something sensible to say keep your opinions to your self (Polite Version)

James .. When Grove Vale school was built 100 so years ago, there were very few cars..

They recently widened the pavements to make it safer. And I don't think the gates on Grove vale are in use.

(May be Wrong)


Building any new school should take as one of it's priorities.. Safety. Top Priority where children are concerned

Not just build anywhere and try and put right at a later date.


Plan Ahead. Find a suitable site. Not just make do.


There may be space for a small school. With no outside play area.

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.
