I'd love to hear from anyone who is home schooling - our son is Year 9 and he goes to an online school, InterHigh, with real teachers and classmates. It's a great alternative to full on home schooling and he hated traditional school so we had to move on from there. We'd love to find others to meet up with locally. Do email me if you're interested.


Have you ever considered online schooling?

If you'd like to find out more about online school please do contact me. It's solved our school problems and stress. There are some drawbacks but it's great that he's following full KS3 curriculum to take IGCSE's, subject teachers and small classes with lovely students from all over the world (and also fairly nearby!). Best of all he loves it even though school never closes for snow!

Good that he enjoys it and is taking GCSE's too!!


I was home schooled from year 9, my sister from year 8 and my brother from year 2. Me and my sister opted out of taking our GCSEs, doubt my brother will do them either to be honest. Home schooling never worked for me and my sister as we refused to learn at home (we were removed from school and moved 100+ miles away from 'our lives' - rebellion). My brother up until recently has been doing online maths via Carol Vorderman, he should now be in year 8. My mum and dad took an extremely laid back route to home schooling and it was all online. My brother got involved in many activities outside of education such as swimming and scouts etc. We were inspected every few months and education inspector was always happy with progress regardless of lack of key stage curriculum. He is above and beyond his peers and a very intelligent young boy who seems to have learnt everything gradually and at his own pace.


Best of luck to you with it all. I'm sure there are plenty of home schoolers in Dulwich area, forum is just a bit quiet after Christmas.

      The Mansion Tax

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!

      I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Cancerian · Posted

      Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
