Hi I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/

does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.

Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?

I have heard similar about both Deptford Green and Elm Green, I believe the latter has some sort of ADHD provision. Deptford Green is much smaller than either Charter, which in hindsight would have been much better. There is so much crowd control in the bigger schools and they are busy and noisy.

I would sell it and probably buy another - despite not knowing how reliable the next car would be. This is because if I knew I had to pay the ULEZ that would definitely stop me from using it most of the time, as it has done you. Or sell it and not buy another car but pay for a taxi as and when needed. This would still feel painful to me, so I'd need to keep thinking how much I'd saved by not paying tax, insurance, MOT, repairs etc and see how many taxi fares that covered.

sorry to hear. try CEX. we've had a few things from there, they are tested before sale, if anything goes wrong you can return it.

what if they don't recycle your note?

or worse: they could be putting food waste destined for the little brown bin into the larg brown garden waste bin. tut tut tut.

Don't move to Southwark at all, save yourselves while you still can. Terrible place for teenagers, IMO.

So many times.

In my experience, if your child's SEN leads to behavioural issues, do not send them to Charter North. It's just endless detentions and threats of exclusion. Too many people try to get in because it is Ofsted outstanding. Not a good sign for SEN, your child would likely be better off in an Ofsted Good school with a better understanding of and attitude towards SEN. The new SENCO might turn things around.

Gulf of Nunhead?

Try the Ivy House in Nunhead https://www.ivyhousenunhead.com/whats-on#regulars Or:

There was a thread on this recently my mistake, it doesn't actually mention Winkworth

I recommend All Cars Nunhead 83 Evelina Rd, London SE15 3HL 020 7732 6322

I would recommend Synergy Gymnastics (formerly Southwark Gymnastics). My son went to classes for several years. They offer holiday clubs too, whether or not your child attends a regular class. https://www.synergygymnastics.co.uk/ Not gymnastics but also very good, trampolining with Beckenham Fliers. https://beckenhamfliers.co.uk/childrens-trampolining/
