Kids drama clubs in local E.D Schools?

I was wondering if the active online population of EDF might be able to help us narrow down our exhausting list of kiddie drama clubs within the area?


I have a 6 year old boy and an 8 year old girl who would like to entertain us. Well, our son is a lot more interested than our daughter so perhaps the focus should be more on the 6-7yr old.


I have sought out various groups such as Bugtastic in Herne Hill, Centre Stage, Half Moon Theatre Group and a sweet drama group in Dulwich Village called PERFORM. A woman in a coffee shop mentioned that some of the local SE22 schools also run some weekend drama clubs. She mentioned one at Goodrich Schoolon Saturday mornings however by the time I had registered and wanted to ask her some more (we do not live too far from the school, you see), she had vanished with her son before he went on to demolish the entire coffee bar! Saturday mornings would suit us very well due to my husband being out at work.


Do Mums and Dads out there have any good advice and does anyone know of weekend drama clubs at either Goodrich or Heber? Perhaps there are Xmas performances coming up that we could go along to support and also have a look at what their productions are like.


Thank you for your help. And congratulations on such a wonderful local forum.

It's a bit further away but Theatre Peckham based in Havil street is brilliant. If you go to book a course on their website, you can see what classes there are. They also do ballet and tap as well as drama and they're doing a production in December so you could check that out. Probably a waiting list though.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
