Newlands School have proposed to expand the current school from an intake of 60 to 80 children and extending the age range from 11-16 to 11-19. 16 of the new pupils would be over 16 years of age. This will correspond with the opening of the new site for Ivydale primary school which is next door to the Newlands school.


The main entrance has been suggested to be moved to the Rye Road side too.


Surely the school should be making people in the surrounding area aware of this plan so that they can have their say but this doesn't seem to be the case. There was a consultation event at the school today which was not well publicised so the turnout was likely low. I'm posting this so that people in the surrounding are aware of the plans, so you have an opportunity to have your say.

Hi Gregson, I wasn't even aware of this. It's now an Academy so it's a bit harder to keep tabs on what is going on. I guess they are doing this as the age for a child to remain in education or training has gone up from 16 to 18. As I didn't know about this I didn't attend the consultation!

Thanks for this

Renata

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.     
    • Some of us oldies would associate Grove with the old Grove Vale School (which I went to in the 1950s)
