Welcome

The Charter School Bermondsey is a mixed 11-16 school in the heart of Bermondsey. Our new state-of-the-art building boasts incredible learning and recreational spaces with fantastic views of London.

We aim that all our pupils develop a secure body of knowledge, skills, values, and cultural experiences that enable them to build better futures for themselves and others.  We believe that all pupils have the potential to flourish, through great teaching and providing the right environment and opportunities.

We foster a vibrant, supportive, and inclusive environment where every child feels they belong, is encouraged to believe in themselves and their potential, and is guided to become the best version of themselves. These aim drive all aspects of school life, from our high expectations for students and staff through to exciting opportunities to explore the world around us.

DfE School Performance Tables show headline Progress 8 scores of +0.29 in 2023 and +0.08 in 2024, compared to the National average of -0.03. This means our students, on average, made better progress across their curriculum than those with similar starting points nationally.

Being part of The Charter family means our students have priority access to the outstanding Sixth Forms at North and East Dulwich, offering a clear pathway for their future.
