I was also impressed and thought the new head was great, very 'real', the girls showing us round were polite and engaging and the teachers (particularly English and art) were really useful to talk to.

I'd also like some first hand experience info please, again PM is fine

No PMs at all (apart from those shared between me and Monkey).

We've submitted our application and Harris Girls is on the list, it's not first choice but that's mainly because my daughter has no reference point there where-as she knows lots of kids at other schools.

Harris Girls results (actual and pupil progress) are some of the best around - if she gets a place there I'm confident she will do well there....

Thank you for your response, Kristymac1. I've had mixed opinions about Harris ED and Kingsdale, whereas views on Sydenham Girls have been consistently positive. Harris will still make it to my list as I really liked it, but it won't be my first either. Now all we have to do is sit back and wait. Good luck to us!

One of the things I'm not clear on with Harris (not yet at the open day stage) is of the results how many do A levels and how many do A level equivalent - think I'd heard secondhand that the majority of their results are HND social care type courses which have A level equivalence. Was this covered in their open day material?

      Great news! Peckham Rye station to reclaim its public square by next year!

      By rollflick · Posted

      Labour's latest Rye Lane Ward newsletter is now saying that demolition in the square will start this summer and that the wider station upgrade is expected to be signed off this year - as explained above, sadly wrong on both counts. It describes the renovation of adjacent buildings on Blenheim Grove as "successful", despite having lain empty for a couple of years, longer than the actual renovation works, before saying "the Council is hopeful [it] will see its first new occupants move in to this year". Cue desperate attempt to get at least one in before end of financial year? As for the other topic, in "November 2023, faced with a huge increase in graffiti across the borough, Labour-run Southwark council took action". Nice turn of phrase eh? Rather, after community pressure regarding years of inaction by said Labour-run council, it's finally started to do a little bit, a little late. Surely there would be more chance of resolving issues if our council could for once be part of an honest, informed discussion?

      Great Local Pest Control – Roger from Critter Solutions SE22 Area

      By Jonathan H · Posted

      Just wanted to recommend Roger from Critter Solutions Pest Control if anyone’s dealing with mice or other unwanted guests. We had a sudden issue with mice in our home's kitchen and after calling around, these guys were by far the most responsive and professional. Roger arrived on time, was really friendly, and took the time to explain what he was doing and why. He did a full inspection and sealed up some access points we hadn’t even noticed. Since his treatment we haven’t seen or heard anything since. What I appreciated most was that it didn’t feel like a rushed job or a hard sell – just honest advice and thorough work. All backed with a guarantee.  Would definitely use them again (hopefully won’t need to!) and thought I’d share in case anyone local is looking.
