Peckham Rye Park looks fantastic!

Recommended Posts

There was a thread about this a while back, but I can't find it, so apologies for starting another one.


I just wanted to thank all the designers, gardeners and others involved in making Peckham Rye Park look so good at the moment.


It's a real pleasure to walk through it.

Totally love Peckham Rye and the park. A beautiful spot for everyone to enjoy for free, no ???, nothing. If I had to make a choice I'd say Peckham Rye over Dulwich Park (even though I've given up on the cafe at the former). Love the Sexby Garden in particular. So reviving to take a book and a sandwich and spend a lunch hour there in the sun.

Agree, took my Mum for a walk round there yesterday and it was really good. Might have to get some fritillaries (?) and make one of those garden bed things myself.

And they've made a new path where the nature bit was at the edge but it's not open yet.

You are all welcome to (what I call) my front garden.

And those of you who walk around my back garden, yes, Nunhead Cemetery is fabulous too.

We have staff.... They work very hard and we are all lucky here.

We all thank you, and yes, Friends of Peckham Rye Park (and Friends of Nunhead Cemetery for that matter) are excellent groups.

I much prefer Peckham Rye Park to Dulwich Park.


It seems to have more "secret" bits, and Dulwich doesn't have anything like the Sexby Garden, unless I've missed it.


I think PRP got a lottery grant a few years back, which could explain why they had the money to make it so beautifully planted, but it has been very well kept since then.

    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing. 
    • interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
