I just wanted to add some information. I am a Southwark resident but my closest schools are in Lewisham. I received an offer of a school in Lewisham, although not my first choice.. If you are a Southwark resident, Southwark will only automatically place you on a waiting list for other Southwark schools. If you want to be on the waiting list for a Lewisham school, you need to contact them in writing directly.


When speaking to Southwark this morning, they told me they could give me waiting list info on other Southwark schools on Monday.

Hi Reneta;


We did not get offered any of the six schools we chose, and got offered a school 2 miles away from us.


A friend of ours, who lives closer to this school, has not been offered a school at all (which does contradict your first sentance I am afraid). They were on time and live in southwark.


Regarding our child, we will not be able to accept this school offer, since it is too far to walk and will take hours on public transport.


Regarding waiting lists, we will ask to be placed on the waiting lists for the schools we chose. Can you tell me please the criteria for these waiting lists, I believe that it is based on the same criteria as the original decision. My partner though believes it is based on the priority the school was placed on our list.


Also, what happens if we refuse?


many thanks


Jon

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
