I hope it?s good as we bought last year right by it :) it has good ofsted, our neighbours kids all go and enjoy it they are all good kids. The new school site has been well designed (won a prize). There are also one or two other schools you might be in catchment of including Hollydale, Turnham academy a catholic school (forgotten the name) and John Stainer or Beecroft in a Brockley (those last two possibly a stretch depending on exact location. Apparently they had a dodgy ofsted one year but this is usually good post report as they are monitored and make changes, so the most recent ofsted was ?good? schools can move around depending on staffing - so I don?t put much weight on ofsted unless it?s very recent. The general area is really nice and full of young families with good nurseries. Secondary is where there is a bit of a hole - Harris girls very close, options of kings dale (lottery) and maybe new cross.

I'm assuming you mean the Nunhead side of the Rye ? Rye Oak,Hollydale, ST Francesca Cabrini, and Ivydale Primaries are all good schools. The former two are closer if you are more towards Nunhead Lane and the Later two if you are more towards Brenchley Gardens.St Francesca Cabrini School is Catholic but takes non-Catholics on distance. Depending exactly where you are looking to buy, Fairlawn could also be an option. Some children from the East of the Rye also go to Goodrich. When you apply for primary schools, I would advise you put down six primary schools in true order of preference. I don't think it's problematic to find a place in a good primary school in the area. I agree with Bonnierach that secondaary is more of an issue, particulary if you want a mixed school as your closest options are single sexed schools.This could change as there are fewer 4/5 year olds than 11/12 year olds, so pressure on Secondary places is likely to be lower in a few years time.

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
