Hi there,


Could I please ask what other state primary schools are doing in terms of their virtual learning programme? Are your teachers doing lessons for the children (through Zoom or another medium)? Are they sending curriculum links? Are they asking you to send back work for marking? Just trying to gage what's happening during this period.


Huge thanks.

Just a short video every day (5-10 minutes) where they read a section from a book, then ask the kids to write a few sentences about it, maybe draw a picture, and do a very simple maths exercise. We then send in photos of the work - but it's not marked. However, this is only year 1!


They've also given everyone a textbook to work through, and recommended a number of educational apps.

This is set to be a huge issue for many families who don?t have access to PCs, Tablets, iPads or broadband. The government will be in breach of the law.

We would not be closing them if they had some basic things like:

Absolutely disgraceful. I was shocked that hot water and soap were not available or rationed in schools in this country. No wonder kids (and their families) get bugs as soon as they start going to school.

    • We both own the freehold. They’re in the maisonette and I’m in the flat. They’re older, so with any luck, they’ll be selling soon. Unfortunately, due to recent events, all of this now has to be disclosed on the TA6 form. Honestly, I’d move out of sheer shame if I were them. Poisoning fruit trees planted for children is just cruel, and they haven’t even apologised. I genuinely wonder how they justify this to themselves. Envy is such a toxic and destructive emotion, and sadly, it often explains behaviour like this. I just wanted to say how grateful I am for the support from so many of you, especially at the East Dulwich Forum drinks and for the kind messages on both this forum and the Nextdoor app. It’s genuinely reassuring to know there are still decent, supportive neighbours around.
    • Hmm, you seem to have an agenda.  I like ait of measured that they have done to promote active travel, improving pedestrian and cyclist safety, whilst improving the streetscape. I avoid making sweeping statements about wildlife management as I don't know enough about their policies, and expect some in Southwark are passionate about what they do. Go along to a relevant local meeting and ask, I doubt if you will change a thing by posting here.  
    • It wouldn't surprise me at all.   The council used to spray the pavements all the time b4 lockdown.  They are probably doing it again.
