EastDulwichSE22

Thanks all for your feedback on here and via PM. It's interesting comparing notes as to what we all expect from the school and it seems we all have different expectations.

It's a very mixed bag .

It's not regarding homework .

It's regarding communication between staff and parents regarding progression among other things and it's across the years.

Just to clarify, it's not my intention to bad mouth the school , rather with the support of more parents we can perhaps get taken more seriously by the staff and work as a team to further enchance our children's learning .

Hello there , my child is a pupil at Heber School which I believe has the potential to be a great school again , but currently I am hitting a brick wall with regards to communication between the school and parents .

There seems to be very limited communication regarding the school as to the progress of my child , the work expected , and my support to maintain/enhance my child's learning .

I find any concerns that I have is dismissed by the teachers and the head which only further continues to worry me .

I appreciate that the staff have a stressful job and do not need inferring parents but they have been downgraded a grade by OFSTED for a reason and I see no evidence of the school remedying this reason.

Other schools issue newsletters /website updates /record books in order to update the parents to what the topic is and what the expectation and outcomes are .

Heber provides no such communication .

I have just been given a work sheet with nothing to indicate what my child is supposed to do , how I am supposed to help or a book to record any learnings .

My child hasn't shown me evidence of learning anything new either .

I wanted to ask if other parents are currently happy with the communication between the school ?

The progress and work their child has been given ?

I naturally want to know that my child is going to leave school able to read and write properly but so far I am not impressed .

Please PM if you do not wish to post publicly .

I take twins to JAGS climbing wall at the weekend and they are 4.

Is it possible we could do a template letter or a petition to send to Mr Gove as suggested earlier by Littlek1cker's email from Peter John?

So we need James to confirm in black and white if Harris is definitely intending to open a primary on the Dulwich hospital site ( to ensure Gove hasn't made an error in his letter ) and then take action to voice our concerns over this.

Thank goodness we were alerted to this otherwise we would have been none the wiser.

I really really hope not . Must Harris take over the whole of Southwark ?!

Quite impressive that the Greens are doing well .

I did mine via postal vote . 3 for local lib dem as they seems to be the only ones that are proactive within the area and make changes and Green for Europe.

Edited , sorry .

Looking for a Jack of all trades so is able to do rewiring ( bury current wires in plastic trunking into wall) plus I need a few new radiators installed and various other snagging bits around the house .

Do let me know if you can do this or have any recommendations .

Just that building has been like that since I was at school over 20 years ago !

Great there is a new school , shame its a Harris school .

Hi James,

There is an old derelict former Chinese shop on the corner of Whately Road and Landcroft Road, it has been neglected for as long as I can remember. It's unsightly and I was wondering who it belongs to and if something can be done to make it into a useful specs instead of an abandoned take away ?

New East Dulwich primary schools - update

We have lots of good news.

Permanent Site Agreed

It has been confirmed first thing today that the former East Dulwich Police has been sold to the Education Finance Agency to form the permanent site for our new East Dulwich Harris free primary school. The land area is about the same size as Heber School and Goose Green School. This is brilliant news for local school places. With a permanent site for September 2015 it makes the opening of this school on a temporary site this Setepmber 2014 no longer a gamble for parents. As the school admissions for the first year runs in parallel to the main Southwakr admissions process parents have nothing to lose applying for both and then chosing which of the two places they wish to take up.

I hope you apply for a place for you child.

Second School Application

An application for a second local Harris free primary school was awareded last week. It would open September 2015. It's aim is to fill the large primary school admissions gap around Homestall Road in SE22. So it's been titled Nunhead Harris free primary school.

Our proposed target is that it will also be an outstanding school as per Ofsted and in the top 10% of primary schools for England & Wales both in terms of overall results and individual pupil progression. To meet these three objectives it would be in the top 5% of UK schools. Exactly the high aspirations we need locally for our children.

Solving The Crisis - where are we?

By September 2016 we'll have a shortage of 215-235 primary reception places in the Dulwich area. The already agreed first Harris Primary school for East Dulwich will provide 60 places, the Judith Kerr school that opened last September provides 25 based on distance, The new Dulwich Hamlet school would relieve around 30 places from Goose Green School. The Bessemer Grange extra class will add 30 places. Expanding Ivydale will help slightly in our area.

But this still leaves circa 50-70 extra required spaces.

Hence why the second Harris primary school agreed last week adding 60 places is so important. Work on its permanent site is ongoing.

Questions

With so much going on please do get in touch with any questions of concerns.

Best wishes, james

Thanks Victor have sent you an email . Would like this done today or tomorrow if possible .

Drawers and brasseries galore , right up the steps next to the Patch on lordship lane( the side heading towards the old police station )

Are the ones who are having no problems , can I ask do you stick to the same orders all the time ? That is, the same milk and same amount ? As I tend to vary my order and due to guests and lack of time I usually add on extras such as cheese , bread etc but a lot of times it must be out of stock as it doesn't get delivered , just frustrating but I suppose it's not ocado who let you know when something is out of stock .

It doesn't help that there are no means to email them either .

Yes Tallulah, it's called Bloomers .

Next to the lingerie shop near The Patch.

I have had my milk delivered at all different times , the wrong milk delivered , one time no milk was delivered but I was still charged . I have ordered extras from the website and on the day they don't deliver it as presumably its out of stock but it's annoying as I will forgo buying said items when out and about as I expect them to be delivered.

I think if they had a competitor they would take more care but as it is , I am not impressed .

See the other thread on this board . Only dairy crest for the local area but there is other schemes such as Riverford that deliver milk .

Tony hasn't answered so does anyone else have any suggestions?

I contacted Ed but his charge per chandelier was almost the cost of my chandeliers .

It doesn't have to be an electrician , just someone who knows what they are doing as it needs a hook to support had weight of the crystals .
