I have a daughter in Year 1 and another who is in the nursery and will be starting reception in September. They are both very happy at the school and seem to be doing well. There is uncertainty about the situation with the head - they don't have a replacement yet - but there appears to be a strong team of experienced and dedicated staff who are managing things in the interim. Piaf, DKH is very much a community school - most of the kids live in the streets round about - and it is well used to dealing with children of all abilities. I would certainly recommend it. Hope that helps.

Hi there. It's on Saturday 6th July, 12-4.

I'm on Bromar Road, and I too have heard people run past in the middle of the night though not so regularly as to think there's a midnight runner afoot. However, last night, at around 2 or 3, I heard some rustling outside the front of our house, and when I peered out of the window I saw a youngish man, smartly dressed in a dark suit jacket walking off up the hill. Could it be him I wonder?

Thanks very much for your responses. It's helpful. I thought I was discussing the MMR booster with the various doctors and nurses I've spoken too, but perhaps I have got the boosters muddled up. Hope so. Feel v nervous about 4yo having yet another MMR jab.

My daughter had her MMR at 12 months and then a booster a few months later as recommended by our doctors during the 2008/09 measles outbreak in Southwark. She's now 4 and I've had conflicting advice as to whether she needs another (pre-school) booster. One nurse had thought not, but another nurse and a doctor have both said she probably does. I'd be really interested to hear what other parents have done.

Tessa Jowell is absolutely nailed on here. 1/5 is a massive price IMO.
