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.

    • It was normal cyclists, in rush hour traffic, in the dark, in the rain. Just really want people to realise it’s that time of year even more careful and to get kitted out.
    • The other consideration is that users of Lime bikes and similar, plus younger pedal cyclists, probably don't view themselves as 'cyclists' as such and so don't get kitted out or even consider that they need to. I also agree that earlier nights are another factor for the casual or hire bike user more used to cycling in the summer. I don't think I have ever seen a hire bike or scooter user wearing a helmet or reflective gear- presumably that is because the bike is just viewed as a transport tool for short term use and users do not want to be encumbered by any of the safety gear? Before anyone jumps on me for anecdotal evidence and speculation, this is just what I have seen round here, there may be hordes of similar users elsewhere that are kitted out.
    • Well apolitical if that is an OK word for you.  Sorry if my choice of words was incorrect.  But on my original point if it wasn't for the Telegraph dragging this up, and yes they do have an agenda, an no they are not apolitical/impartial whatever, we;d be none the wiser. But as it made no difference to Trump's election campaign that why would he have a case in the American courts? Irrespective of the rights and wrongs of the programme
    • If she took a bus, has she tried contacting the bus company? Long shot, but you never know!
