The Harris Federation propose to launch a new Boys' Academy in East Dulwich, linked to the Harris Girls' Academy on the other side of Peckham Rye Park. For many years, families in the area have suffered from a lack of good secondary schools in Southwark, especially for boys, and many of our children have had to travel miles out of Southwark to get an education.
EDGE (East Dulwich for a Good Education) was formed by members of the local community shortly after Harris' announcement. Many of us have young sons, and we wholeheartedly welcome the Government's intent to invest money in a new local secondary school in the area. However, since the original 600, and then 750 pupils, the number has gone up to 950 boys, and Southwark and Harris have so far failed to address our concerns about the resulting tinderbox conditions and lack of outdoor space.
