  1. It's the sound of east dulwich
  2. Who constructed your questionnaire I think you need to include all schools in the area and allow for those whose children do cycle to comment about the issues faxed
  3. You pay for the whole day generally as they can't offer place to someone else
  4. I fail to see how this is a big surprise, 3 levels progress for a high attainer is not a stretch target whereas for a low attainer, which you must appreciate includes students with severe special educational needs, it can on a case by case basis be almost unattainable. yet another issue with league tables. a further consideration is of course how inaccurately KS2 SATs actually reflect ability and knowledge. In my professional life we are moving further and further away from using these tests as a basis for setting / streaming and ability at the start of year 7
  5. I must be living in a different east dulwich. I've always found it extremely child friendly to those who accept that children and their behaviour are their parents' responsibility and that their presence should not inconvenience or annoy other customers.
  6. You also need to fit into the equation whether they wat it to build right up to the boundary? In which case you may find it less appealing
  7. 2 mins should be enough for all in one mix as long as butter is room temp The colour should lighten a bit

But lots of housing so lots of potential applicants at the end of it.
  9. You need coping strategies really Mindfulness meditation is excellent for this, as is a good course of CBT That said Write it out Write out exactly what it is you're afraid of and then write down the very worst that can happen and all the connotations. Then write down exactly how likely that is to happen Eat well make sure you're having lots of fresh fruit and veg Exercise just take a brisk walk around the block if that's all you can manage Deep breathing into your stomach ... Look up mindfulness meditation ... There's quite a few free pod casts ... You'd need half hour alone Say out loud a positive thing like if worried about health say and repeat "I am healthy I feel fine"... Important to speak out loud it's a reinforcing cycle (sounds nutty I know) Rescue remedies can help Remember you're not mad ... Happens to the best of us ....ad you can reduce them until they go away for good.
  10. My daughter is but gets skin reactions not tummy upset hence we are members of dulwich college which is sun filtered and minimum chemicals
  11. Sainsburys do platters I saw someone buy them and they looked pretty good. You order specially I think http://www.sainsburys-live-well-for-less.co.uk/products-values/instoreservices/instore-party-platter-service/
  12. I imagine it would depend on the size of intake so more chance in a 3 form entry than 2 Good luck It's a horrible time this school transfer but there is movement I would imagine, but its a guess around 10%
  13. Only the ones below the place offered so if you accept 3rd choice you remain on 1st and 2nd
  14. You need a careers advisor not a recruitment consultant - my friend is one but in NY this week. I'll point her in your direction
  15. Honestly? I think it's bunting cupcake gone mad So your plan is to be the idea people and source things ... Like google?
  16. Sun rises in the east so likely to get morning sun
  17. You can get magic foam erasers that take drawings off paint by removing a thin layer of paint
  18. Spring concert. Mainly key stage 3 and 4s I think so 11 to 16 year olds
  19. If you have a child who performed congratulations, they were all outstanding. From the choirs, to the clarinet ensemble, the drummers to the rock guitarists, the brass band, cellists, flautists, orchestra, grade 8 trio playing Mozart, xylophones, everyone Absolutely stunning! Something to be proud of
  20. It costs more because its in east dulwich and they can get away with it (although so can the landlords with the rental cost you will hear them cry) have you never noticed there's a premium price on everything here
  21. Send an email and they'll get in touch with you http://woodcraft.org.uk/where/group/southwark/goose-green-elfins
  22. Kids kicked mine in on Underhill road, supposedly the youngest of them was 10
  23. Anecdotally I was not overly impressed with the maths provision at my son's primary school and whilst he tested well I have seen his maths improve 2 levels within a term and a half in year 7 at secondary school. This alongside an offering of 2 London university based programmes to extend maths skills and encourage secondary school students to consider maths in higher education.
