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.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
