Thank you Gwendolen1, I similarly agree with your comments. I especially agree that they were pretty lucky to get away with a Good. I really question whether this would have happened had this not been an academy and therefore a political hot potato?


I really hope the Governors are asking for this, but then again, have you heard the HT talk? Well I am guessing you like I have at the open days you discuss. I could not stick with his long and meandering speech and I wonder whether this is deliberate? Talking so much that people either stop listening or forget the point, lose track of the thread. Maybe it is just my poor levels of concentration. I hope the governors do not have this problem, because this is a very serious issue which needs to not only be considered but thoroughly and carefully analysed in order to make sufficient improvements.


I have edited this twice because I don't want to be considered guilty of libel and it seems that the definition is somewhat unclear when it comes to this subject

I forgot about this, of course! Total embarrassment to admit anything has gone wrong. But this is bitterly unfair on every other school who has to adhere to certain standards set.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
