You Can Make Me Dance Sing Or Anything (Even Take The Dog For A Walk, Mend A Fuse, Fold Away The Ironing Board, Or Any Other Domestic Shortcomings) - Faces

I have a Brompton and it's great to ride.

They tend to get about 17 weeks (at least the local day schools). But don't forget that they work longer days - finishing later that your state schools. Someone worked out that the number of hours worked at each was about the same.

ellabrunswick makes good points. One answer - for some - is folding bikes. These take up a much smaller space (under a bed, desk etc) and you can also take them into your work space if that's good for you.

Always Remember To Respect And Honour Your Mother - Dusted

It's definitely a good school. Can't help about catchment areas though I believe that the Lewisham website has a tool for finding out how far you are from any Lewisham school; the school info will tell you how far it has taken any child within any of the Lewisham bandings in the past year. It will also explain the Lewisham banding system (very simply: kids do tests in Y5 which allocate them into different ability bands, and Lewisham schools - and the majority of other schools - which do not operate other entrance criteria - will aim to take an equal number of students within each band in order to get a genuinely comprehensive intake. Sydenham Girls (the state one not the private one)is definitely worth checking out, by the way.

Have only just seen this thread. Just want to make a small point. Dulwichmum said (on page 1 near the start): "[At] JAPS ... assessment to get in is very stressful, ditto with Alleyns. JAPS comes up as something like 5 in the Times League Table and Alleyns is around the 20 mark. These places on the league table can partially explain the schools' popularity." Yes indeed, both are very popular. Alleyns gets more applicants because it is co-ed, so twice number applying (roughly). Although JAGs often appears slightly higher up the league tables at A level and GCSE (as D-mum says) the reason for this is (again) co-ed. Basically Alleyn's girls beat JAGs, but the school's overall scores come down by a few points because boys do slightly worse at these stages. It's the same nationally. You might want to bear that in mind if it is relevant. That's all.

Seemster, look through the entries you will see loads like the one of mine(!) you are querying. Even if that weren't so, "Goldmine" is arguably not a single word, but, rather, should be written gold mine. Back to the game: Broken heels - Alexandra Burke

Dear James Thanks ever so much for taking the trouble to answer my Greendale question in so much detail. Really helpful.

I am sure there will be enough, especially if they charge high enough prices to satisfy ED punters. The well-off majority, that is!

UK weather is just so variable! In contrast if you lived in (say) the Amazon rain forest the weather is more or less the same very day. You could just use the same forecast every day.

James What are they doing to Greendale then?
