Sorry to take up a thread on something so personal, but we need to make a quick decision on whether to move to Beauval Road and I'm wondering if anyone out has thoughts as to whether that's a good or bad location with regard to schools? We have a child who would be starting primary school in two years (2013 entry), and wanted to have some sense of how much chance we'd have of getting her into any of the local schools then.


I know there are no guarantees in all this, especially as the applicable rules keep changing, but at least wanted to get what information we can before making the decision. Although I've only roughly mapped the distances, I think we'd be in the mid-300 metres from Heber, and under 700 from Goodrich and Dulwich Infants.


(I'd also be interested in any thoughts people might have on the location with regard to secondary schools, so at least I know how worried I'll need to be in a few years!)


Thanks very much!

Hello,


We live in Beauval Road since the end of August 2010. I've choosen these road because its very close to all the schools in Dulwich village and not far from the heart of East Dulwich. I don't know very well again the english system of studies because we're a french family and our son is only 15 months old .

(i'm not fluent again, So,Apologize for the mistakes on my english writting)


My nice neighbours have a boy, 9 years old, he goes to Hamlet school. Their Daughter, 16 years old goes to another school (for girls only i think but i don't remerber the name of the school).

On the other hand, There are a lot of families with young children in our road, in age of going to school, so i suppose its easy to find a school with these location.


I could only say that Beauval Road is quite a nice place to live,rather quiet and well located, between dulwich village and Lordship-lane.So easy to move on these two locations, by walk also.

When we moved from France in London, first we would prefered to live in Blackheath or clapham Common but finally, we are very happy to have found the type of house we've searched, even if we had to go farther from the center of London. In fact, It was a good opporunity for us to discover Dulwich, accidentally (by chance).


Best regards

    • That's good news. I saw that DVillage is also being renovated. Now the pavement in front is wider and flatter with the recent works, they'll have a nice setup indoors and outdoors.
    • Thank you for posting this Wingless Bird, so well put…
    • It's hard to believe that in 2024, we're still seeing countless posts about lost kittens, heavily pregnant & missing cats, abandoned litters & strays struggling to survive. Every photo of tiny, helpless kittens found in bushes or by the roadside is a painful reminder of a problem that's entirely preventable. It doesn't have to be this way. We've come too far to still be facing these avoidable tragedies. Spaying & neutering is not just a suggestion, it's a responsibility. It protects our felines from a host of health & behavioural challenges. I want to take a moment to share why this is critical; Overpopulation Crisis Thousands of cats & kittens already wait in shelters for a second chance. Unplanned litters only add to these heartbreaking statistics, with many never finding homes. Not all shelters have a non-destruction (no-kill) policy. Health Benefits Spaying eliminates the risk of uterine infections & drastically reduces the chances of breast cancer/mammary tumors in females. Neutering prevents testicular cancer & reduces the likelihood of territorial marking & aggression in males. Reducing Strays Fewer unplanned litters means fewer strays & feral cats living on the streets, where they face dangers like cars, predators & disease. Did you know that strays have a lifespan of 2-5 years? Supporting Local Ecosystems Furthermore, feral & stray cats can unintentionally discrupt local ecosystems by hunting birds & small mammals. By spaying & neutering, we can reduce this impact while also ensuring that feral cats are cared for through managed colonies. Improving Community Wellbeing Neutering helps control roaming & fighting among intact males, creating safer & calmer neighbourhoods for everyone. If you or someone you know has recently purchased, adopted or found a kitten or stray, make it a priority to reach out to your vets or connect with local organisations like Celia Hammond Animal Trust, Cats Protection or Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) initiatives in your area. Many offer free or low-cost spay & neuter services, ensuring this lifesaving option is accessible to all. Most professionals recommend kittens be spayed & neutered at 4 months. All kittens should be spayed & neutered by the time they hit 6 months. Kittens should not be given access to roam outdoors until they have been spayed or neutered, as kittens can get pregnant as early as 4 months { !!! } East Dulwich is a cat-loving community, whether we have a little lion of our own or not, we tend to take the initiative to post what we believe to be missing cats, but the greater issue is that many cats are not being spayed or neutered. So please, let's sow the seed of change for 2025 & educate our friends, family & community on the importance of spaying & neutering our cats, & put an end to overbreeding.   Thank you x
