Where is this?

Here's a picture (scroll down a bit), same angle, but it seems to have boys milling about the playground:

The statue is now in the grounds of the boy's school on Pepys Road, New Cross (London), but the buildings don't match the picture. I wonder if the statue was moved and if the picture shows the original site.

Is this it?

It's a statue of Robert Aske, who founded the Haberdasher Aske schools, so this must be one of the schools. There is one in Hatcham but not in this building now!

Brilliant Annie...I'm sure it says Hatcham on it....first line of bold print about half way down.

Yes it is the original site - the picture that I linked to is on the school's website in the history section and the angle is almost exactly the same, includes the fence and similar shaped trees.  I think heywood has cracked the current view!  Looks like the trees have thrived

Thank you everyone, it has been a great help. It seems to be the Aske's Hospital in Pitfield Road Hoxton, c1880. The building is now some rather exclusive apartments with a small park. Many thanks to all for taking the time to reply.
