We have been allocated bessemer and are very pleased. Our oldest is at preschool there and it's been great for him. A happy confident and thriving little boy. Was it one of your choices? the environmental space is good for a London school and the nature garden is a lovely resource; in terms of education and teaching methods I can't really offer an opinion yet...

Hi

My son is currently in Reception at Bessemer and my daughter is in the Nursery. We are so pleased with the school and i'd highly recommend it. Both children are flourishing there - both academically and personally. My son's reading and writing in particular has come on incredibly well in a short time.

The facilities are great and the staff are excellent. I particularly like how parents are involved - there are regular workshops so you can find out how you can support your child's learning, there are loads of opportunities to talk to staff/find out what the children are up to and they are really responsive to feedback.

It's a great, friendly school.

My daughter has been offered a place there for September 2016 and we're very happy. It was our first choice and by far the best school we visited on our endless tours. I've also had great feedback from old nursery friends of my daughter's who are there now. Delighted to read about your good experiences there too.

I don't have any uniform but there may be a secondhand uniform sale at the summer fair. The only official bits you really need are the sweatshirt and the bookbag (only available from school). Plain white polo shirts and navy trousers from Sainsbury's etc are fine. You can order Sainsbury's uniform online and get it delivered to the DKH store.

V up for a meet up anothermother. Got a place a for our son this September and very happy this end too. Like Crystalball we loved the school when we looked around. Was really impressed by the head, the quality of the teaching we saw, and all the lovely space.


Sorry, a bit of a boring question, but we live down near the Rye, so just wondering whether parking vaguely near the school is a no go at drop off time...? Already thinking about routes!

Hi,


Both my boys are at Bessemer Grange. The school has a lovely ethos and has been a great nurturing and learning environment for them.


We often bump into their friends on the walk to school and it is reassuring for me to get to know their friends and their parents. There are lots of opportunities to see the children having fun during the F@B (PTA) events, like the picnic and the ice cream fridays in the nature garden, the summer and winter fairs.


I hope that all those families who have been lucky to get a place come and join the welcome picnic, it is really great for the children to meet up so the first day isn't quite so nerve-wracking.


Congratulations!


Amy

A warm welcome to all families starting at Bessemer Grange in September 2016. We look forward to meeting and getting to know you.


Our PTA, Friends at Bessemer (F@B), will be holding a Welcome Picnic in the school's fantastic Nature Garden on 17th June at 11.45am. You will be able to meet new classmates, chat with other parents/carers and have the opportunity to swap contact details for Summer meet ups.


There will also be our annual Summer Fair on the 9th July where there will be lots of parents from F@B running activities to keep the children happy.


If you would like any further information(or would like to become part of our email mailing list) please send us an email to [email protected].

      A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By beansprout · Posted

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
