I don't think yiu can apply until you are actually resident. Then go ahead and apply to the council. They are obliged to offer you a school within 3 miles. You're unlikely to be offered an East Dulwich School as they have all filled their Sept places. However, you can go on the waiting list for any school you want, (though you only have a realistic chance of getting into your CLOSEST community school, and then only if you live within a couple of hundred metres. I have a feeling your late application will not go against you... if you live CLOSER than other people on the waiting list, you will be put further up the list. If a family decline the place they have been offered, someone from the waiting list will get a place. Unfortunately, as you need TWO places, it might take quite a while...


what road are you moving to? What school/s are you hoping for?

Ah. You want to be be AS CLOSE AS possible to a school! To be safe, probably within a couple of hundred metres, as the crow flies. THose who did school entry this year maybe can share how small the circle was for some schools...


PS You don't have to send your twins to school till the term AFTER they're 5, so you possibly can delay until January or easter?

Mo, they admit "rising 5s" so if your twins are 5 by Easter, they would be offered a pkace from sept, if 5 afterwards, from January. But the law sasy they must go from the start of the term AFTER they are 5, so you can leave them on a iting list till then


In ED, all schools are good...

Heber

Goodrich

Goose Green

St Johns (church school but some general places)


there are also schools in Nunhead and over the border in lewisham


For any school, draw a small circle round it on the map and look there


Goodrich is the biggest, so prob proprortionately more chance someone will move out


Avoid the area round the gardens/close to peckham rye park, is a school black hole


i would print out a map and mark the schools on...

      Post Office Lordship Lane is Broken

      I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience

      Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
