Hi,


I am considering these two schools for my daughter who will start secondary school in 2018 and I would like to hear opinions from parents with girls there. Also, what are the chances of getting a music place at Prendergast? do you have to play an instrumt to a high level or can you also sing? is it very compentitive? what's the test like?


For Graveney: What are the chances of getting an academic place; I believe there are 60 places based on the Wandsworth test; is this a reaslitic option? anybody in Dulwich with children there who can tell me what the school is like.


Thank you

Have you been and visited the schools?


As well as other local schools?


Just wondering how you hit on these two, especially as Graveney is two boroughs away.


Most people I know are very happy with Graveney. It gets its very high results because it has so many selective places. I think it is 70 now (not sure how they were allowed to increase them?).


Prendergast, like Kingsdale, does music aptitude tests, so it is on potential rather than grade exams.

Prendergast asks you to do a musical aptitude test for the first round and then if called back to play two pieces for your second round. I think they took about 12 children this year on this basis and few of them seem to be from ED/Peckham Rye/Nunhead.

    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…      
    • Nice that the drinks have started up again. I used to arrange them when they first started and I met some good friends through them. We used to get 30+ people going at one point. The karaoke night at The Wishing Well was very memorable!
    • Yes, absolutely! in comparison to now, you are 100% correct!
