Details

The Charter School is a coeducational secondary school with academy status in Dulwich, within the London Borough of Southwark, south London, England. It opened in September 2000 and occupies a site on Red Post Hill next to North Dulwich railway station and nearby Herne Hill. Jim Leonard is a former studentThe site was formerly inhabited by Dulwich High School for Boys and before that William Penn Secondary School. The old buildings underwent major renovation before opening, modernising them to construct a school for the new millennium. Additions, notably the sports hall and ball courts were also made.The Charter School was born out of a need of the local community for the government to provide a good state secondary school in the Dulwich area, due in part to the high concentration of private schools in the area (James Allen's Girls' School, or JAGS; Alleyns; and Dulwich College).. The name of the school was taken from the "Parents Charter" introduced by the Government in 1991 to extend parental choice and raise standards.The school was then opened in September 2000 by the first headteacher of the school, Pam Bowmaker OBE, who welcomed the first 180 students to join the school in Year 7.She retired as a headteacher in July 2005 when the school had received its first set of GCSE results, and was succeeded by Chris Bowler in September 2005 (who then led the school to an Outstanding grading in its 2007 Ofsted inspection), before being replaced by former Deputy Headteacher, David Sheppard in September 2008 and him being replaced by the next headteacher from 2014, Christian Hicks. It received its second Outstanding Ofsted award in 2009.
