New Academy coming to East Dulwich

On Thursday 11 June Caroline Pidgeon joined Lord Harris of Peckham and other staff and project managers at the official start of the building of the new East Dulwich Boys' Academy on Peckham Rye.

Caroline worked hard with local councillors, MPs, residents and the Harris Federation to ensure the school got through every hurdle to be built.

"I was delighted to be invited along to celebrate the start of the building work on the new boys' school. A high quality education is so important for our young people. East Dulwich really needed a local boys' secondary school and I am thrilled that from this September there will be 150 boys starting their education at the school - though starting their first year in temporary accommodation in Dulwich" said Caroline Pidgeon AM.
