Cards on table time for Queenie methinks. Looking at her post history she has posted 23 times since registering and 90%+ have been posts critical of Kingsdale. What's her motive do you reckon?

Sadly you may well be right. This year they have received 150 appeals in the admission process.

Be prepared for major price increases, a reduction in the number of offers and no discernible increase in the standard of food. I have seen this at several former branches of Somerfield around South London. Saying that, East Dulwich Somerfield was always pricier than the one in West Norwood for example.

A day away from the little so and so's.... Not really! It would be a real treat though to spend a whole day in their company without them arguing with each other! 2. Nothing, I love it. It would be nice to be included in playground gossip with the mums though..... 3. Yes, generally I am stricter and therefore this makes me the bad guy 9 times out of 10. Which I suppose should be my answer to question 2!

My son started there last September and is thriving. He is 'bookish' rather than sporty and loves the school. He has a nice group of friends and is very positive about everything but the lunches.....! I've met a few of the teachers and I've been very impressed by their attitude and enthusiasm.
