To those of you who are still without a secondary school place for 2011, there is an open morning at Deptford Green School, Amersham Vale,SE146LQ for 9.15am on Thursday 24th March. This is a mixed comprehensive school, in the borough of Lewisham, for a prospectus, email [email protected] . This is purely for those who don't have a place in one of the schools they applied to and for 2011 entry!

Hi Renata,

That's a useful suggestion and some might find it acceptable but some parents I've spoken to have now visited this school and were so shocked that they're now applying for Dulwich College Prep School and working out how on earth they can afford to do this.

Hello James,

I have in the last couple of weeks been helping parents from wards all over the south of the borough. It is clear that readers of the ED forum span quite a distance and for some, Deptford Green is close to where they live, and convenient to travel to, particularly those close to the Lewisham boundary. I don't find your comments above particularly helpful.


I know parents whose children are going to Deptford Green school in September, they have seen the school and applied to it on their CAF form. They have spoken very highly of the school, which in 2010 had 69% of pupils obtaining 5 GCSEs and for 53% this included English and Maths. For the information of interested parents, like a couple of Southwark Schools, it is a building site at the moment (being rebuilt under Schools for the Future), but this will be completed by September. The school website is www.deptfordgreen.lewisham.sch.uk so that parent can look for themselves. I don't think that Dulwich College Prep comes into the equation for many Southwark parents! The shakedown of school places has already started, so over the next few weeks there will be movement on school waiting lists.


If I hear of any other schools that have places and opportunities for visits, I will post on this forum.

that is a most unhelpful post. And shocking that a councillor should attempt to put parents off a school. Surely parents are quite capable of making their own decisions.


And I doubt Duwich College has loads of spaces, even if you could afford it.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
