Whereas mine is almost 13 and a handful. Not sure I can blame the bronchiolitis for that though :)

I was trying to remember this when you posted about his diagnosis. It so long ago that I can't remember but FWIW I do remember she was coughing for a few weeks before we fully clocked how bad it was, and then it was weeks more before it fully cleared up. Incidentally the following year when she was learning to walk she fell and had a greenstick fracture to her wrist and we went to an osteopath to help the healing along and he found a vertebrae slightly out of place which he reckoned was down to all the coughing in her first year. Did Melbourne Grove tell you he satisfied the threshold for a referral? I don't know how it works with such small babies these days but I just tried to get a referral from them for my older child and the nurse practitioner was very good about explaining exactly what the criteria are for her condition. I'd be inclined to ask for urgent appointment with nurse practitioner to have him checked and talk the care through or go back to A&E.

where do Villa schoolchildren go when they leave?

You can apply to any state school in year 3, not just Dulwich Hamlet. Mine joined Lyndhurst at 7 -

Ondine replied to oimissus's topic in The Family Room Discussion
We did the Villa and then Lyndhurst, which was great for my 2. -
Hope he's doing ok. I do remember TLC being the only real treatment when DD2 had bronchiolotis.

What about calling SELDOC for advice?

Could it be Bronchiolitis? My daughter had it at that age

Can anyone get through to Melbourne Grove Medical Practice?
Ondine replied to Sonners's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Yes, all fixed. We've been along this evening -
yes that was my cat. He's feeling a lot more cheerful now. Thanks for the concern

Dr grant, penny ackland and a lovely doc whose name I have forgotten who was always behind because he spent ages talking with patients. Those were the days!

My answer to the OP would be yes there's every chance. Children this young have all sorts of development and growth to do and they are in no way set in patterns for their future academic peformance. FWIW my 5 yr old slow reader is now at 12 a gifted and talented all rounder. I remember her reception teacher calling her a butterfly (polite way of saying she paid no attention!) and at 6/7 she was assessed a few times for dyslexia but all that passed with time

I've got tickets - really looking forward to it

I emailed Concordia today to ask what they are doing to improve this practice
-
Yes - my 12 yr old still uses hers and we have the other one as a computer chair - adjusted them to adult sizes a few years ago and they are still great. I guess the only practical issue is their relatively big footprint

Did the Kingsdale thread get taken down? Can't see it?

I had a child higher up the school and the staff I knew who left were fantastic. The school has managed to recruit very good replacements - I know this from my younger child's experience - so that may be why Ofsted were reassured looking forward. The real worry for me is the data on whether pupils made the expected progress - those numbers were very poor, especially for middle attainers IIRC. Of course there is always turnover in any institution but it's as if they lost a generation so will need very good management and development of the new teachers to make up,for the loss of experience.

Year 5 and 6 parents- secondary schools

And the important point is the huge dip in performance - compare against Kingsdale's own performance over the past 4 years -

Maybe your mum could get some steel pan tuition to pep up her wronged maids? -

I wonder why the DoH doesn't employ you - what else do you advise on? Surely you could eradicate the norovirus with your well informed, shoot from the hip approach? -
Advice for middle class parents
Ondine replied to LocalTeacher's topic in The Family Room Discussion
In my experience there are some fantastic teachers in our local schools. People who would not dream of the sort of stereotypes and assumptions at play here. Is this just designed to provoke.....? -

We're just near the burst and there was lOADS of water running down Vesty Rd when we last looked about 30 mins ago - this same burst happens every year or so

hello - just wanted to sympathise. DD2 had bronchiolitis but was a little older - around 16 weeks - and that was horrid so I can imagine how worried you've been with a 2 week old. The main thing I can remember was loads of calm calm TLC - it's awful when they struggle to breathe and the more they can relax, the better they do. She coughed loads throughout her first two winters and at around 18 months she was having an osteopath consultation for something else and he found that she had a vertebrae that was popped out of place and he reckoned that was down to all the coughing and could have led to back problems later in life. But to reassure you - she was a little wheezy till she was about 3/4 and we were advised there was a risk of asthma developing but she just grew out of it and there was no lasting damage at all best of luck with it

Yes new constitution was announced. I'm sure the PF secretary would email copy to any parents who want one.
