The Charter School North Dulwich has an ambitious target to be free of single-use plastic by 2021. Bottled water produces a lot of plastic waste so the school and the Friends are fundraising for new water stations and reusable bottles so that all pupils can be plastic bottle free.
We are delighted to announce that we have successfully filled the two vacancies for Elected Parent Governors on the Local Governing Body at The Charter School North Dulwich.
Southwark’s newest secondary school opened its doors to pupils this week as the new term started at The Charter School East Dulwich (TCSED).
Secret Charter is a fundraiser conceived as a creative response to the funding cuts we face as a school. Over 500 pieces of artwork were generously donated by international and emerging artists as well as students, all of which have been sold to raise funds to support the Creative and Performing Arts Departments at school.
Following the recent consultation about possible changes to our academic year as from 2019-20 the Local Governing Body has agreed to change the term dates from Autumn 2019.
Autumn Term 2019 will start for students Monday 2nd September (29th and 30th August will be Inset Days).
The Autumn half term will run from Monday 21st October 2019 to Friday 1st November 2019. School will start again for students Monday 4th November and the end of term will be Friday 20th December*.
Summer Term 2020 will run from Monday 20th April with half term Monday 25th May to Friday 29th May*. Unfortunately, we are not yet able to confirm the end of the summer term 2020 due to a lack of information from Southwark.
* Note that Southwark have still not confirmed their term dates for 2019-20 so these dates are still provisional.
This does not affect our term dates for 2018-19, which you can find here.
Please also note that, as stated in the original consultation letter, the school aims to keep the standard 190 days of teaching for students in the academic year in addition to the 5 standard INSET Days.
Thank you to those of you who took part in this consultation. A copy of the letter that was sent to parents regarding this matter can be read below.
