Hi all,


Here is some information about open days and how to apply for a place at The Charter School East Dulwich to start in Year 7 in September 2016. The process is a bit different from other local schools because this will be our first year of opening. All this information will also be on our website and will be explained at the open days.



How to Apply


Applications for Year 7 places at the Charter School East Dulwich beginning in September 2016 can be made in addition to the six options available to parents and carers through the Southwark (or any other local authority) eAdmissions process. Please share with parents & carers that they should not select The Charter School East Dulwich as one of the six choices on their Southwark eAdmissions application.


Applications must be made directly to the school by Friday 30th October 2015.


There are two ways to apply. Parents and carers can either complete an on-line application available on the new website when it is launched next week at www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk. Alternatively, they can complete a print application downloaded from the website, or available by contacting the school on [email protected] or collected from The Charter School on Red Post Hill. Completed paper applications to be posted to:


The Admissions Team

The Charter School East Dulwich

c/o The Charter School

Red Post Hill

London SE24 9HJ

Tel: 020 7346 6600


Receipt of application will be acknowledged. Notification of places will sent out ahead of National Secondary Offer Day 1st March 2016. If both applications are successful the child will receive two offers, one from The Charter School East Dulwich and one from Southwark Council. Parents and carers will need to notify us and Southwark as to which offer they accept.


It is essential parents and carers additionally apply for other secondary schools through their local authority application process to ensure their child has a school place for September 2016.



Open Days


To support the applications process we will be hosting four Open Day / Evening events over three dates in September and October, where we will be able to answer your questions and provide an insight to what life at the school will be like.


Two evening events will be held at The Charter School on Red Post Hill.


Dates: Thursday 17th September 2015

Thursday 1st October 2015

Time: 6.30pm ? 8.30pm

Venue: Main School Hall, The Charter School, Red Post Hill, London SE24 9JH


There will also be two daytime events held at the proposed site of the new permanent school at Dulwich Community Hospital.


Date: Saturday 26th September 2015

Times: 10am ? 12pm or 1pm ? 3pm

Venue: The Old Chapel, Top Floor, Dulwich Hospital, East Dulwich Grove, London SE22 8PT


To help us manage numbers, we ask that parents please register for attendance at their preferred event. Registration will be open from next week and we will forward the links to register very shortly to our subscriber list and make them available on the website launching soon. Please note space and therefore numbers are very limited at the Dulwich Hospital venue.


We look forward to meeting parents, carers and pupils at the events.

Hi confusedbyitall,


Yes, our open days are different from those for The Charter School in North Dulwich.


We're not quite ready to announce the temporary site or how many students it will accommodate but hope to make an announcement fairly shortly.

Some of the parents who attended the secondary transfer meeting for Year 6 students at Heber have let us know that the Southwark representative gave out incorrect information about how to apply to The Charter School East Dulwich. There may have been some confusion between the two Charter Schools.


I just wanted to confirm that the message at the top of this thread sets out the accurate information. You need to apply directly to the new school and if your child meets the admissions criteria you will be able to hold two offers - one from Southwark for one of the schools for whom they handle the admissions process and one from the new school. We have spoken to Southwark and all their secondary transfer team should now be providing parents with the correct information. Sorry for any confusion and thanks to the parents who had the correct information to hand in the Heber meeting!

Why not?


There's no established catchment, there's lots of great schools in the area and you don't lose anything applying this year as it's on top of existing applications

    • 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. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
