Dilemma!!


Hello, I am looking for a word of advice. My daughter has been offered a place at Reception at St. Dunstan?s College, Sydenham High Junior School and DUCKS. I have been researching these schools for now quite sometime but I still cannot get my head around which one to choose. I would very much appreciate if anyone with first-hand experience of any them would be so kind to share it with me.


Thank you in advance!

We (my daughter) absolutely loves Sydenham High Junior School. I think, in the end, you have to go on feel. We visited them all and had a number of offers. But we chose in the end where we felt most comfortable and where our daughter seemed most comfortable on the assessment days. And she's thriving there. No disrespect to DUCKS and St Dunstans as I hear great things about them too, but the feel was right at Sydenham and we haven't once been disappointed in the last 3 years that she's been there. Good luck! It's not easy!

      Maggie Browning usually very good responding to emails. Roving surgeries - we got a letter some time ago that they were in Barry Road between certain times - but neither neighbours of ourselves saw them. Face to face surgeries rarely held now due to violent attacks on MPS and Councillors.

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      By ianr · Posted

      Just for information: I see that the Licensing Sub-committee has the Tesco application as item 1 on their 24 July meeting agenda.  https://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=172&MId=8329. The officer's report to the committtee provides a good succinct summary.  I see, from (original) p.31 of the full public pack, (or more conveniently the supporting documents) that Tesco Legal Dept on 12 June reported that they'd agreed with the police's suggested conditions to be attached to the licence, and the police accordingly withdrew their own representation.  That leaves just one representation, from a member of the public, to be dealt with on the day. I still think it's not necessarily to be presumed that Tesco will definitely be taking over the premises.  I see that Poundland themselves were granted an off-sales licence on 21 Feb 2023, and surrendered it on 3 July 2025.  I'm not sure they actually ever used it themselves.  Did they? https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-09/Statement of Licensing Policy 2021-2026.pdf is a full statement of the policy and its application, for thems as is interested.
