We had exactly the same level of service from Glen as 'skylorikeet' above. Glen came out the same day I called him and fixed the fridge/freezer there and then. He even called the next day to make sure that everything was working as it should. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Renata, I think you meant January 2013, didn't you?

Boris has been re-elected. It was announced just before midnight.

Kids have to arrive at school by 8.55 at Goodrich. This was introduced a few months back.

They are clearly visible now.

I believe you also posted on that thread a few weeks back.

Two other web sites with Photos Zimbio and Metro.

David Cameron spent some time at Kingsdale today. See if you can spot your child in the Photos.

Perhaps you could call Kingsdale to make an appointment to speak to somebody about your concerns. I am sure they would be more than happy to discuss the issues you raised. I know that they do not actively participate in the discussions on the EDF because they feel it wouldn't be right but, from my experience as a parent, they do take feedback from parents and others very seriously.

My child is in year 8 and very happy there.

I know a few anxious parents whose children didn't get a place at Kingsdale this year and are desperate to find a way in.

It's snowing heavily in ED now. Can anybody tell me what the situation is with the busses up and down Lordship Lane?

Just got text messages from schools this morning:

Kingsdale is closed.

Goodrich is open.

Does anybody know when the Kingsdale school buses will start running again for this autumn term? I tried calling the school, but could only leave a message.

Goodrich tried the cones a few years back when Mr Coleman was still headmaster. Unbelievably some parents would get out of their car and move them to one side or even just push them out of the way with their cars. Some of us parents ended up trying to "guard" the cones but had to regularly put up with abuse and aggression from the offending parents.

Driving home about an hour ago we noticed that Barry Road was closed off by the police with a tape across the road. Two number 12 buses were stationary at this junction and not going anywhere. Anybody know what the closure was about?

Both the schools that my children go to have said that not having enough grit to keep their pathways safe is a major reason for closure. They have already used up the stocks they had and have more grit on order. But here lies the problem; the councils are prioritising new deliveries of grit to go to hospitals and major roads first, then to schools.

According to their web site Kingsdale is closed tomorrow (Friday 8th) to pupils in Years 7, 8 and 9. See their web site for the other years www.kingsdale.southwark.sch.uk.

Just read on their web site Goodrich is OPEN!

Just read on their web site Kingsdale is closed today!

Goodrich's web site goodrich.org.uk says "An update regarding school tomorrow (Thursday) will be posted on this site by 8am tomorrow."

According to their web site Goodrich is open, so is Kingsdale.

Does anybody know why a white, light aircraft has been flying back and forth over the East Dulwich area for the last 2 hours?

Do you know what time the Parent's Forum starts and how long it lasts?

To add to Msgee's post above....

It is great that Kingsdale are planning to offer this service, but I think they need enough families to sign up and pay their deposits in order to go ahead with the scheme. So, please get your response back as soon as you can and encourage other Kingsdale parents to do so as well. We would be so disappointed if it didn't go ahead.

I thought exactly the same when trying to cross Barry Road by car the other day. Does anybody know who we can call to ask for the board to be repositioned? Do you know the number?

Here is the link to the page on Southwark's web site.
