SCHOOL CLOSED - Monday 12 October 2026
Sydenham School is closed today due to an emergency water supply failure.
What has happened
Early this morning, we experienced a complete water supply failure affecting the entire school site. An engineer is currently on site.
We were extremely proud that students work from Year 10, 11, 12 & 13 GCSE & A Level art works were on display through August at the Greens Gallery in Dulwich Village.
We are so proud of all the students for showcasing their amazing work.
Sydenham School has offset the equivalent of 14,278,714 total standard sheets of paper consumption by reforesting 1,714 standard trees since joining @printreleaf in 2020. 🌲🌳
These outstanding outcomes are a testament to the exceptional teaching of our staff, and the incredible hard work our students have put into their studies. #GCSE#GCSEresults
We're absolutely delighted to announce that our Year 11 students have achieved Sydenham School's strongest ever GCSE results – building brilliantly on last year's success! #GCSE#GCSEresults
We are absolutely delighted that SFH6 students have again secured exceptional outcomes at both A Level and vocational courses! SFH6 celebrates their success and wishes them every happiness and fulfilment in the future.✉️🖊️#alevelresults2026
