Seeking information on a primary school in Rotherhithe, postcode SE16.
Recently, I came across a post discussing assaults in primary schools, which prompted me to revisit my memories of the ones I know. When I lived in London from 1997 to 2015, there was a school right next to my house. Unfortunately, I never attended that school, so I can’t recall its name. I even checked Google Maps, but it now shows the site as two football fields.
To narrow it down, this primary school was adjacent to Burnside Close in SE16. I know it’s not Alfred Salter or Redriff. If anyone has information about the primary school near Alfred Salter and Bacon’s College, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!
