My daughter is due to start reception next year so I am embarking on many open days at the moment as well as general school research. It seems that SJSC, The Belham and Goose Green are all well loved and much commented upon, but everyone goes a bit quiet when it comes to Bellenden.


Is anyone able to give an opinion either good or bad regarding Bellenden...

I think it's a very good school. It has excellent results and they have moved into a brand new site. I've been there in a volunteer capacity for the Red Box project and have been impressed by the staff I met. It has a higher than average number of pupil premium students AND has excellent results which I think makes it more impressive than schools with a lower than average number of pupil premium students. It used to be further away from East Dulwich - near Peckham Rye Station so not many children from the area went there (my own son went to Goose Green Primary). Now it's situated nearer, perhaps it will become more popular.

      The Mansion Tax

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!

      I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Cancerian · Posted

      Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
