Er, I think you'll find for most people Peckham is posher than ED

The borough is irrelevant when choosing schools - you just need to meet criteria (usually proximity)

Correct, jim Callaghan lived on Carver Rd for a few months after he was sacked as Chancellor and had to move out of number 11. This thread just gets better.

Great thread this much better than all the house price stuff. PS: which former Prime minister lived in Herne Hill?

Cheers thanks for that

I have one arsenal supporting son and another who supports liverpool. Where would be a good place to watch the match tomorrow? Used to go to the Half Moon before the flood.

Look at their gcse results. All schools are measured on number of kids getting 5 a*- c grades. It's a rough measure, also useful to look at how many of their gcse's are at grade A or A*

But not cheaper than Wetherspoons! Long may the Fox on th Hill prosper

I am sure if you contact southwark (assuming you live in the borough) they will be able to direct you to schools with spaces. Competition between schools has driven performance up in all local schools

St saviour's & St Olave's Girls (top of Old Kent Rd) got 78%. (And 55% A*-B at A level)

We went to noja on north coast with venue holidays - fly to either Bilbao or Santander (or do ferry if you have time). Can't recommend it highly enough. It's warm but not blistering and very green (with it being the Costa Verde). Worked out cheaper than going direct to site for some reason

Youth hostels - lots of em at the yha website

Hi new school mom, I'm an old school teacher and I don't know why either (Tescos will be open that s for sure)

Great story, many thanks for linking it

Threadneedleman on the Walworth rd. an old mod and thoroughly top guy.

I thought that when I looked at the data, but paper def says 2012 results

Don't know how to attach the link from my iPad, but today's Independent quoting them at 61% five A* C including maths and English.

Not many SEN secondaries, best to visit mainstream schools and ask for SENCO. Take along any docs regarding your child, especially any "statement"

JAGS on Saturday's at 9.00. Just turn up. Ask for Danny.pay a fiver, he'll love it and you will meet other parents

Doesn't his school have a careers adviser? Or at the very least, a switched on art teacher?

It sounds like she is your employee, not your contractor and it is illegal for you not give her a minimum level of holiday pay. You should also check out your national insurance and pension expectations

Carnegie Library in Herne Hill, free on Saturday afternoons, just turn up and play. Lovely man (whose name I forget) runs it

Lots, but most play on Sunday mornings. You could try googling dulwich magic, athenlay, peckham town for a start, or contact selkent ( south east London Kent league) for other teams in the area.

St Savuiours & St Olaves girls school in the North of the borough offers FREE musical instrument tuition.

Had it done at Kings one Saturday morning a few years ago. The doctor lied, it bl**dy hurt!* Just see your gp and he will make an appointment for you. * But no inappropriate after effects pleased to report
