Camberwell Collegiate School
Camberwell Collegiate School

The Camberwell Collegiate School was an independent school in Camberwell, London, England. It was located on the eastern side of Camberwell Grove, directly opposite the Grove Chapel.The school was opened in 1835, as an Anglican school under the patronage of the Bishop of Winchester, and with the support of J. G. Storie, the vicar of the nearby St Giles' Church. It was affiliated to King's College London, which had been established as an Anglican alternative to the secular University College London. The council of King's College offered an annual prize for the school's best pupil.The Collegiate School was situated on a two-acre site laid out as a pleasure ground and flower gardens, and housed in a purpose-built building constructed the previous year to the designs of Henry Roberts, who had also designed the Fishmongers' Hall. Built at a cost of about £3,600 in white brick with stone dressings, and incorporating some aspects of Tudor style, it had a frontage of 300 feet, and was notable for the cloister which formed the centre of its entrance front.The building included an entrance hall, a library, three classrooms, the master's accommodation, and a schoolroom designed to accommodate 200 boys. The large schoolroom was 60 feet long, 33 feet wide, and its 20-foot height was topped by a lantern with pinnacles.The Collegiate School had some success for a while, leading to the closure for some decades of the Denmark Hill Grammar School. However, it had difficulty competing with other nearby schools including Dulwich College, and was closed in 1867. The land was sold for building.
