Haberdasher’s Aske’s Hatcham College

this school has changed so much in the last ten years. firstly, it used to be boys and girls seperate — now it has started to merge. one the main draws for askes was it seperate sex education. classes up to 6^th form are still taught seperately, but forms are mixed. iguess it depends on your viewpoint, but i am not keen on this. iguess it makes teaching easier though — to have all the same year groups on the one site 9lower school down the hill, upper school up!).
on the whole though, this school has fantastic facilities — a great technology building and science labs, a huge playing feild and sports centre in nunhead, and a brilliant music department. they put on several shows a yea — including an opera — and they are all amazing. the music directors are fantastic and seem to engage the kids — i see so many walking to/​from school with instrument cases.
they have a lot of school trips too — not just to your standard places but as far flung as canada, america or kenya.
it is a great school it just isnt as great as it once was.
