Is anyone in the area home-schooling secondary school-aged children? I have a small batch of them who were supposed to be starting in Year 7 but haven't got places at present and so until such a time as they are offered a place at a school I'm happy with, I am resigned to home-schooling.


I've just joined Education Otherwise but it would be good to make contact with local home-schooling families asap...

I am in similar situation,my son has been waiting since last September for a place to become available at kingsdale in dulwich.He is now second on the list but with no time frame to when he will start.We have been home schooling,but I am desperate for him to meet up with other kids in a similar situation whether it is for lessons,educational days out or just socially.Maybe we could sort something out,I have a good collection of key stage 3 books in most subjects but would like Alfie( my son)to get used to having lessons with other kids as it has been quite an isolating year for him.

Look forward to hearing from you and any one else in the same situation.

My daughter is of year 6 age and we have been home schooling her since half way through year 4. She is likely to be going to seniors school next year however this last year or so of HE has been fantastic. I would suggest looking at the situations as an opportunity to give them something a little different, if it is only for a short while.


London is absolutely full of HE'rs and there is plenty for them to do. A good starting point would be to join SLHE google group. This group is for HE only matter/issues/questions however it is a good place to start. You will have to request to join so I would advise that you just say you are home schooling and for the moment might be best not to mention that you hope its temporary! Not a huge issue but they have a policy of ensuring that only genuine HE families join the group, which is fair enough.

Hope this helps and I'm happy to help answer any general questions re HE

      Anyone experiencing even greater issues securing a GP appointment with Tessa Jowell GP practice?

      By COYS1961 · Posted

      I hope it's ok to use this thread to ask for advice on a separate issue in relation to TJ Medical Practice. A friend of mine who is registered there has recently been diagnosed with a serious long-term condition. He has been struggling to find a good GP at the practice since the departure of Dr Love and I said I would try to find out which of the remaining GPs other patients have found most capable and sympathetic - particularly for the scenario of overseeing ongoing care for a long-term progressive illness. Is there any particular GP that people would recommend?  Very many thanks.

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By spark67 · Posted

      I,m not a fan of Gales; but a lot of food serving premises open on Xmas day , so not unusual, worked in catering for nearly 40 years and staff usually get extra pay… My niece who is in her last year of college & wants to go travelling next summer, is waitressing in a restaurant near where she lives on Xmas day & Boxing Day for £20 per hour to boost her travelling fund. Back in the day I worked New Year’s Day 2000, & had my pay bumped to £50 per hour, happy days (wasn’t forced I volunteered)

      Hardly strange; arcane perhaps. It used to be a common practice in many towns for the swings, roundabouts etc in parks to be chained up by the council on Sundays, so that they didn’t provide a source of reckless pleasure on the sabbath. The outrage that a cake shop should open on Christmas Day reminded me of this. The policy had pretty much died out in England and Wales by the 70’s but is still in force in parts of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.

      I would be interested to learn if Gail's hike their prices on Christmas day. I don't go to Gail's (as I prefer Christophers on HM Lane) but if anyone does go and detects a bit of price gouging, please let us all know.
