What the school inspection says

“This is a highly inclusive school that provides an exceptional education for the pupils. Leaders have extremely high expectations for all. This ensures that all pupils, including those with Send, can thrive. Working relationships between staff and pupils are very positive. Pupils are proud of their community and create a positive and welcoming environment. Although the school continues to grow in size, staff know all their pupils individually. Pupils have access to a wide range of extra opportunities in the school… [and] most make strong use of the wide range of clubs on offer. [They] can also access a rate of leadership opportunities, including student ambassadors and eco club. In the sixth form, students support younger pupils through responsibilities including peer readers and mathematics tutors. Leaders have developed a highly ambitious curriculum for all pupils in the school.”

About the school

The Charter School describes its curriculum as “desirably difficult” and “coherently sequenced”. It aims to approach every student with the right combination of challenge and support.
The relatively young school, which serves East Dulwich and South Camberwell, was established in 2016 and moved to a new permanent campus in 2025, previously the site of the Dulwich Community Hospital. Southwark Council made a £6.55 million contribution towards the development of a specialist autistic spectrum disorder resource centre, which provides up to 25 places.
From its humble beginnings on a temporary site with 120 students, the school is now oversubscribed and educates more than 1,400 pupils.
Alongside an excellent academic reputation — in 2025 the school celebrated its best GCSE and A-level results yet — the school focuses on the whole student, offering a varied and interesting extracurricular programme. In one year more than 250 pupils completed the bronze Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme.
