. . . 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.

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • 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!
