In its recommendation to the minister, English Heritage wrote: "This is a rare instance of the architectural flourish usually reserved for stations in the Victorian period applied to railway infrastructure." Thankfully, the Railway Heritage trust is well in favour of the revamp, with executive director Tim Hedley-Jones describing the plans as a ‘sympathetic restoration of [the] facades’.

English Heritage concludes that the arches should be listed for three reasons: their historic interest as part of the 1860s expansion of London Bridge Station (which had been London's first major passenger terminus), their design, materials and craftsmanship, and for the fact that they were designed by Charles Henry Driver whose civil engineering and design work was significant. It could be argued that the defining emotion of all fins-de-siecle - and certainly of this one - is anxiety coupled with a vague sense of destiny and, of course, a great curiosity about what life in the new century will be like. All these emotions are cleverly harnessed by Kate Mosse in her second novel, CRUCIFIX LANE.'

It is also fitting that on the week that the final report is published, we celebrate our school reaching full capacity of pupils on roll (another first for the school!) and we enter Pride Month – and that is exactly how we are all feeling - PROUD. The series of arches forming the southern frontage of the viaduct at London Bridge Station is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons: The newly listed arches are not directly threatened by Network Rail's proposals to redevelop London Bridge Station, for which planning applications have recently been submitted to Southwark Council, but the railway infrastructure company may have to reconsider some of the details of its scheme in the wake of this week's decision. This row of commercial premises also have stone dressings, but are otherwise plainer in their composition and detailing than those at London Bridge." We are incredibly proud of this report as it is truly testament to the hard work, commitment and continued drive of everyone and anyone who has ever believed in the school’s journey and vision from 2019.Listen to Time Out’s brilliant new podcast ‘Love Thy Neighbourhood’: episode ten with Derren Brown in Hoxton is out now. Following our recent Ofsted inspection (April 2023), we are ecstatic to announce that we have been graded GOOD in ALL areas – a first in our school’s history and the best report the school has ever received!

It is appropriate that the London Bridge example joins that at St Pancras Station on the Heritage List for England."
