Hi !


We are considering home schooling our 13 year old daughter and would like to get in contact with any local parents who are doing the same. Any thoughts and suggestions would be more than welcome and we would love to know if there is a local support group for small groups of children to learn together / group tutoring?


All advice, recommendations and tips most welcome :))

I have a friend who has home schooled his daughter, and a chat with him dispelled all the reservations I would've had, such as "won't they miss out on the social side?". Apparently she has loads of friends through the sorts of tutoring groups you're interested in. Best of luck, and keep us informed, as it's something that we're already considering for the future.

Thanks for all your messages ! I thought I was alone in the wilderness !


BB100 - We live in Forest Hill so that would be FAB if you could make contact with the group you know of.


Suniil - It was something we thought was totally ridiculous to begin with but have now come to the conclusion it maybe our only way forward, given our circumstances.


Otta - The friend you have who home schools their daughter it would be much appreciated if we could arrange or meet or just a discussion over the phone. We would love to meet someone who has extensive experience of home schooling. Please guys any help out there - am happy to arrange a group meeting for any parents currently home schooling or considering for the future ........:))

our son schools online, www.interhigh.co.uk - great concept as he follows national curriculum, working towards IGCSE's. Only 2hrs school per day, real time classes and also class mates, lovely teachers and the whole school meet in Wales once per year. Happy to chat with anyone interested. I'd be interested in meeting other home school year 9 families - please email if you can help.


There's also a home school group who meet at Dulwich Woods scout hut on Monday and Wednesday mornings with science, english, maths and I think perhaps history or geography (not sure if all these subjects run for all ages)

I would like to know further details of the scout hut meets too and would like to meet others. Lots of friendly suggestions but it would be fantastic to meet and discuss in detail both parents and children who are in the home school loop.


Happy to have a meeting of some sort in our home or arrange a public place to meet - local to all included !


Thanks

Hi,


My son is going to be 13 in November. He has been home schooled for over a year and half and is fine and perfectly happy. Can't seem to get anywhere with the scout hut home ed group that meets up . Does any one out there know anything. Would love to meet anyone doing the same thing as me with similar aged kids.

Hello!


We are looking into home schooling or ideally a small school in the area and would really appreciate it if anyone can provide any information on these two alternative methods of education.


Our son who is 14 is not, we feel suited to a large secondary school but we are only now starting to think about alternatives.


Any help and info that you can provide would be great - eg how it has been if you have been home schooling, do you meet up with any other families doing the same to share the schooling and whether there are any small schools.


Many thanks. (feel free to PM me)

Hello -

I see you posted about home-schooling in Dulwich a couple of years ago - I've just arrived in the Uk and am starting to home school my daughter (aged 12) and so far it seems that all the nearest groups ( except the one at the Dulwich scout hut on Mondays, which is full) are in Bromley and Lewisham. Did you find anything round Dulwich? Or if not would you (or anyone else you know) be interested in trying to set some up (I'm thinking of small tutor groups, but also other stuff like sport, art and design etc.)

Please do get back to me if you have any leads or interest in starting anything,

thanks so much!

      Protecting Peckham's Heritage

      By Eileen · Posted

      The plans The developer Berkeley Homes have submitted a planning application to redevelop the Aylesham Centre close to the junction of Peckham High Street and Rye Lane, containing Morrison’s supermarket, car park, & petrol station, Aylesham shopping arcade and most of that side of Rye Lane between Hanover Park and Peckham High Street. The application is for a mixed housing, retail, leisure and commercial development, in buildings ranging from 5 to 20 storeys. Impact Local people who have studied the detailed plans think that the development would dominate the historic town centre which has evolved since the 18th century, and would ruin the Conservation Area which was awarded in 2011 'to preserve and enhance its character and appearance'. More than 65% of the homes to be built in this unimaginative over-bearing development will be unaffordable by most people who live in Southwark, and provide inadequate open and green space for this part of Peckham. Need for discussion This is such an important issue for south London that it needs wide discussion before the Council Planning Committee takes its decision (not before next Spring). A free on-line talk and discussion to clarify the heritage issues we all need to think about is being held on Monday 11th November 7-8.30pm. All will be welcome. Please register on this link: https://Defend-Peckhams-Heritage-2024.eventbrite.co.uk There are several other key issues raised by the plans which are being examined in the Aylesham Community Action (ACA) campaign. You can find the link to all that and other useful information here: www.linktr.ee/acapeckham The zoom session is being arranged by Peckham Heritage the local group that has grown from the community work alongside the restoration of nine historic buildings in Peckham High Street through the Townscape Heritage Initiative. We hope that EDF members who value local heritage will be able to attend the session to hear and take part in the discussion, and report back to this topic so the discussion can continue.

      I did see a few Victoria bound 185's on East Dulwich road around 5pm this evening. Coming from the Rye end and heading toward Goose green
