Daughter starting Yr 7 JAGs coming from Nunhead/ P Rye?

Recommended Posts

Hello


My daughter is starting Yr 7 Sept and is a bit worried about getting the bus there on her own (not sure why, it's not far but she will have only just turned 11 when she starts) so wondered if anyone's daughter will be bussing it (think it would be the 76) from Peckham Rye/Nunhead area that she could walk to bus stop/get on bus with? Thanks

I'm sure if you practice the journey with her she'll be perfectly fine. ?You have plenty of time. Put an app on her phone so when knows when the next bus is coming.


It's daunting as she's still at primary school but their world will change in a day once they reach Y7.


I'd enrolled my daughter for a school bus, which we didn't actually ever use. I took her on her first day and by the end of that day she wanted to make her own way home.

My daughter is also starting there in Yr 7. Worried about the same prob' as you esp' as she's so young as well. There is no easy bus route either. She will have to take 2 buses there with a bit of walking in between.


I looked into using the school coaches but the closest stop is 18 mins walk away! You could check if the school coaches go past your road.

Hi MAK


Same problem for us re school coaches but I contacted the coach company (feeling slightly ridiculous as JAGs is really not far from us) and they are looking into putting in an extra stop close to us so might be worth contacting them esp if your daughter has to get two buses? My daughter only has one bus to catch so it's pretty easy really. I think like Jules says above she will be totally fine after a couple of days (if she ends up doing the bus which I think she will) - most London kids have to take public transport to get to secondary school and they'll get used to it quickly. I think it's more nerves about getting to know people as only one other person going from her state primary.

My daughter is the only one going from her state primary but hopefully, she will settle in quickly esp' as they have a bonding trip in Sept.


Lol - I too felt a little ridiculous asking the coach company as we don't live far from JAGs. However, I'd prefer her to go by the school coach only for safety reasons and a peace of mind esp' for the first year. (The recent Goose Green School attempted child kidnapping incident keeps creeping to mind sadly.)


I'll contact the coach company again to ask if they can put in an extra stop. Thank you so much for the suggestion.


Best of luck to your daughter in Sept. :)

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
