hi can anyone tell me about the process of applying to infants school.

I thought you had to apply the spring before they have to start. So if they were to start this sept you would apply now in april.


someone told me that its a year ahead so if it was next september you would apply now


then someone else said yesterday that you can put their names down now.


does anyone know which one it is?


luckily our little ones birthday is in the nov so she wont start until she is nearly 5 so loads of time to sort it out but was just wondering which one was true.


thanks

For a child starting school in either Sept 2010 or Jan 2011 (any child born 01/09/05 - 31/08/06) you had to apply by end of January 2010


I guess for a child starting in Sept 2011 or Jan 2012 (any child born 01/09/06 - 31/08/07) you will need to apply by Jan 2011



Does that make sense??!

Yes. Btw, the govt has recommended from Sept 2011 a single point of entry (ie no Jan intake)


I haven't seen anything about whether Southwark is complying with this

thats great thanks everyone she will be 3 in nov so guess I will have to apply autumn next year(2011) for her to start the following sept(2012) as will be too young to start next autunm as she will only be 3 3/4 next sept. thanks was just worried when someone said she should be down already.

Can i jump in and ask a question too (sorry Ludoscotts)


but if you were wanting your little one to go to a school nursery, when would you expect them to get a place.


My son will be 3 on the 1st of October, should he get in in the January 2011 intake?

More likely Sept 2011. But you apply to the school when they are two, and they can take any three year old off the list (in age order) if a place comes up

Dan my understanding is that it's the term after they turn 3 so in your case yes, however they may not get in that intake in which case he may be offered a place in the Sept intake.


My son is a March baby. We didn't get into the Sept intake but got offered a place in the following January

hi thanks everyone, she has been down for nursery since she was 2 but thought maybe I should have done school too, all clear now,


dan if you cant get into a school for nursery try dulwich village preschool. you have to pay before they are 3 but its about ?190 per term. and its exactly like being in a school nursery, then next best thing.


We are sending our little one in sept as I dont like the idea of going from being with me to 5 days/sessions a week think it would be a huge shock for her so sending her for 1 term for 2 days a week. Hope fully she will then get a place from jan for a school based nursery as she will then be 3 but if not we will keep her on at the pre-school. It was lovely and I dont think they are full at the min as my friend has just managed to swap days around which they couldnt do if it was full.

    • Thanks for stating the bleeding obvious
    • Yes, they are intelligent ❤️ Various methods of deterring the foxes (aka stopping them coming and crapping on your lawn) have been suggested in this thread. If you don't want to try them, and prefer to keep clearing up the crap and complaining about it, well that's YOUR choice 🙄
    • Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong..  Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out.     And whilst on the subject of heat and dogs, do remember that leaving a couple of windows open while you run into a shop etc to get groceries etc …. Is not good enough / the inside of a car obviously gets very very hot… and one could be delayed in ship, thru no fault of your own - meanwhile, your woofer is suffering.  Common sense really and if you are a new owner, probably really never thought it through ie walking dogs in heat or leaving them in car in heat. The majority of people on this site are caring, supportive people only offering advice, expressing concern when they see stupidity.  
    • Weirdly (well, weird as it happened very shortly after I had posted that) I got a notice the other day (the first time in the near enough twenty years since I joined the forum) telling me I had reached my limit of "reactions". I posted a screenshot on here. However I did not actually seem be prevented  from  making any more!   What is your purpose in doing that? This is a useful, long running and well loved (by me, anyway) local forum. It provides information on matters of local interest, an opportunity to easily sell or give away  unwanted things and buy or be given things you want, information on upcoming local events and interest groups. It is also a well moderated place to discuss both local and wider issues. And it is used by a variety of different kinds of people, as would be expected - we all have different personalities, experiences and opinions, and that's part of what makes the forum such a great local asset. Since rescuing the forum when the previous admin left - it could have disappeared altogether - Joe has put and continues to put an enormous amount of work into setting it up on a different platform (?) , maintaining it, and keeping it a safe and pleasant place for everyone using it. I'm sure you and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels to me that dissecting "posters and their patterns" in the way you describe - presumably then to post the results on here?  - is just going to sow seeds of discord which could stop some people posting altogether and generally change the whole nature of the forum. I think that would be very sad, and I hope that that isn't your intention? Are you going to include your own posts in this? You have joined the forum relatively recently, and seem to be self-described as a "Pain".
