Hello, I'm looking for advice please as our son (currently Y6) has been given a half scholarship in sport at Kingsdale. If he gets a place (I know this isn't guaranteed by the scholarship) does anyone know what the sports provision is like and whether the scholarship place amounts to much in practice? I've looked at the web site and it looks like he would get some extra tuition and workshops which looks good, but would be glad of any insight from anyone with a child already there.


Thanks in advance.

Thanks Cora. Do you think the scholarship gives him much more than he would have got anyway? How does it work, do they get extra coaching sessions?


Good to hear the school has an inclusive feel too. It's such a big school (compared to primary) it felt a bit overwhelming on the open days.

      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.
