. . . is to be rebuilt as another site for Haberdasher Askes School. Hot tip this, from the inside.


Many might feel the H A brand was well over-extended as it is, but it's a crazy free-market fantasy we live in, so here they come like another corporation with their product offering.

Will that be alongside a community medical centre or is the medical side now to be scrapped? A site of this size has to offer something for all of the community not just one section. Fully appreciate we need more schools but we also need more healthcare especially for the elderly.

I read it first on the thread in the family room - sixteen pages long with 17000 views

The area has a huge shortage of school places and there aren't many vacant sites large enough to accommodate a new secondary. I think this is good news. It's a big site, so I would think that there would be space for health care facilities too, but I guess we'll have to wait to see exactly what the plans are.

Is there a strategic, coherent proposal for the site? The LibDems are working hard to ensure part of the land is used for a new secondary school but as KK has posted above, the land doesn't belong to them or the Council. Don't get me wrong, I fully appreciate the need for a new school and am supportive of the site being used for one IF there is sufficient land left over after the medical facility is built and the health needs of East Dulwich have been met.

Haha, that's exactly what I was thinking.

It would be a free school and as LondonMix says non faith and non selective, and co-ed.


Its a non-political steering committee leading the way with the secondary application and we have Haberdasher's Askes officially on board as a provider of the school in our applciation (as well as support form 500 local families so far). James Barber is the councillor who initiated the steering group - and he has put in a 'right to bid' application for the site. This is a very new way of asking Parliament to consider the use of government land - and the Dulwich Hospital site is the one of the first (if not the first) such applications - since it only came into existience in January. So we shall see what happens with it and whether this might enable a use for the site other than a developer buying and building residential - as could so easily happen.


Healthcare would still be part of the site in any event I think.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
