  1. interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well.

    One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible.

    All i could find on-line was this undated letter -
    https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167

    For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not
    stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards.

    though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.

  4. Have a window which has a broken piece of plastic against which the window levers itself in to stay shut, as a result of which there is a permanent draught as the window won't fully close.


    I want this replaced else temporarily removed so I can glue it back together.


    Hinge is also bit dodgy, want this looking at


    lease pm me if interested.


    Thanks

  5. thanks all for highlighting need to register our feedback.


    I registered my view that partial privatisation of the park for 25 days of summer is not a good thing.

    And listed back at southwark the benefits they claim from park usage, which they are intending to restrict.

  6. Nice one ianj for posting this.


    Everyone please fill it in if you want to avoid East Dulwich becoming even more of a transport black spot!


    I understand that lower usage and fare revenue may sadly mean some bus services will be pared back, but this proposal is voluntary, unnecessary, and would be self inflicted


    Not having buses running from what is by far the areas most useful station is ridiculous.

  7. Hi,


    We have some very creaky wooden overlay in our upstairs hallway (victorian terrace). We would like someone to lift it up and replace with thick ply ready for carpeting over.


    Also - some stair treads (also overlay - but original stairs underneath are no good) are slightly loose and creaky and if we could get those strengthened /re-affixed so they stop creaking (access underneath from the cellar ) that would be great.


    Thanks in advance

  8. We are looking for a friendly and organised person to look after our 9yr old son and 6.5yr old daughter after school 2-4 days per week from September.


    We do have some flexibility in days / times / hours- so please get in touch if you are interested and we can work out what suits everyone.


    About us:

    We are an active and friendly family living in East Dulwich. My husband works full time - long hours (mostly in the office, 1-2 days at home), and I am returning to study full time. We actually have 3 children, but the youngest (2yr old boy) will be at nursery. At home the kids like reading, drawing & colouring, lego, imaginative play, playing in the garden, watching telly (obviously!), and playing computer games.


    About the job:

    We are hoping to find someone who is happy to do the following:


    * Collect them from school (approx 10mins walk from our house)


    * Generally either take them home (could be via the park!) or to their after school activities. They do one joint activity (same day/place), and currently have one other activity each (on different days!).


    * Prepare and provide them with snacks & evening meal.


    * Encourage them with any homework. It's fairly light - usually just some mathletics/spellings which they can do themselves, they just need prompting to get on with it!


    * Help them to tidy up after the above activities.


    Finally to note is that I may sometimes be around at the house, and could also have the 2yr old with me. So we'd need someone who is happy to work around us a bit!

  9. I suspect they didn't leave anything behind because they're fundamentally decent and unselfish people who care about the environment and hence wouldn't leave waste. Somehow doubt they would take all of their camp with them on holiday.


    Hammerman - Please provide link to press story about XR protester jetting off around the world on regular holidays abroad. Note regular does not mean frequent.

  10. many mornings recently we have had, on our very visible garden fence facing the dining table, a pair of woodpigeons engaged in what I can only describe as "heavy petting", followed by what appears to be intercourse.


    we have young children and frankly I don't know what to do about this. we've resorted to eating our breakfast in the sitting room, away from this daily display, and to avoid the questions I inevitably have to field from the children on the topic.


    I tried explaining to them that the male pigeon wanted to be a bit higher up to get a better view, but they just pointed out that he could fly up the tree next to him, for which I had no answer.


    we've now resorted to only using our kitchen when it's dark, as that's the only time we can be sure we won't be forced to witness such a spectacle, which is obviously particularly distressing during family mealtimes.


    does anyone have any advice as to what can be done about this? I am looking into installing an electric fence atop our wooden fence, but failing that, I fear we shall have to leave the area for somewhere less likely to make my family bear daily witness to such obscenities.
