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!

    • If anyone is thinking of traveling a bit more and would like to supplement their trip by picking up a few family heirlooms from various ailing maiden aunts of mine, please drop me a private message. I'm particularly interested in anyone who is considering Colombia & Bolivia, The Golden Triangle region of South East Asia, Andalusia & North Africa or Rotterdam. And Liverpool.  
    • Wow I had no idea they give you 5% in perfume for your accommodation. You're right, I need to travel more. 
    • Do none of you go abroad.  Tourist taxes are really common in continental Europe and do vary a lot city by city. They are collected by the hotels/rental apartments. They are usually a  tiny part of your holiday costs.  In Narbonne recently we paid €1.30 per person per night.  The next town we went to charge 80 cents per person per night. By comparison Cologne is 5% of your accomodation.
    • Hey Sue, I was wrong - I don't think it would just be for foreign tourists. So yeah I assume that, if someone lives in Lewisham and wants to say the night in southwark, they'd pay a levy.  The hotels wouldn't need to vet anyone's address or passports - the levy is automatically added on top of the bill by every hotel / BnB / hostel and passed on to Southwark. So basically, you're paying an extra two quid a night, or whatever, to stay in this borough.  It's a great way to drive footfall... to the other London boroughs.  https://www.ukpropertyaccountants.co.uk/uk-tourist-tax-exploring-the-rise-of-visitor-levies-and-foreign-property-charges/
