PeckhamNicola

I went once years ago, gathered up a few pairs of trousers to try on, then found they had no changing rooms. Bought nothing, never went back.

Very thoughtful of you Westminster House Youth Club in Nunhead are brilliant https://www.whyc.co.uk/

My dad (not living round here) heard that there is liability by the authorities if the pothole has been reported, ie they know about it, which the line around it suggests it has. I found this: https://www.gov.uk/claim-for-damage-to-your-vehicle

academies receive funding according to pupil numbers. is that what you meant by children on the register? there are other parts to the funding formula to reflect relative deprivation in the area, pupil premium/pupil premium plus for eligible students, and other factors eg if the school has a specialism in subject(s) the government wants to encourage the uptake of within the population.

There's one in Peckham Rye station

Oxfam Herne Hill none too impressed when I turned up with several bags of books, ended up taking them to British Heart Foundation book and cd shop in Streatham instead. Suggest phoning ahead wherever you go so as not to waste a journey. I have donated books to King's in the past, I think via their PALS service, they said they would take them round wards on trolleys.

Exactly. When I am driving along streets with cars parked either side and lots of people around, my focus is quite short, looking out for dangers in the immediate area rather than looking up at roadside signage etc. I would have been caught out by similar near Ivydale school had I not recently been leafleted about the change from them using physical barriers in school hours to using cameras- the new sign at the roadside was unobtrusive. If they are going to do this there ought to be road markings too.

Best thing I've been to in ages, thanks so much to everyone involved. Shall look forward to next year!

Thanks for posting, went along and enjoyed it!

Thanks for posting, looks very interesting. I couldn't get your link to work so trying again [https://www.theartssocietydulwich.org.uk/]

Lots, and mostly just turn up on the day. Some change from term to term, others are consistent.Most are free, small charge for things like tennis and maybe also cycling at the velodrome.

There's a new Travelodge in Peckham near the library. The Victoria Inn on Bellenden Road has rooms upstairs - but it can be noisy as they are above a pub. Friends of mine stayed in the Church Steet Hotel in Camberwell and really liked it, although I will caveat that that was several years ago.

Thanks for taking this on Joe, so glad the forum will continue.

Thank you both for the recommendations.

Male. Thank you Boddle.

Does anyone know of a trauma informed mainstream state secondary school which implements a behaviour policy which is not just warning-warning-warning-detention ad infinitum? Doesn't have to be Southwark, we are open to moving.

Can anyone recommend a private psychiatrist for an in person ADHD assessment for a child? There are lots to be found on the internet but a personal recommendation would be helpful. Thank you!

Normal cash ISAs should be available from age 16 eg terms for Yorkshire Building Society (YBS) Internet Saver ISA Plus Issue 10 say it is. Rate pretty low. Not sure why she isn't eligible for junior cash ISA,presume some reason other than age- rates for these are higher.

I switched from gas to induction hob when I moved house - reluctant to begin with but now really like it. Our hob has induction rings at the front and non-induction at the back. Unless you regularly use >2 hobs at a time this could be a good compromise to get round the cons listed in other responses.

I've heard good things about Herne Hill Harriers http://www.hernehillharriers.org/category/training/young-athletes/

they are also at Ivydale School in Nunhead
