Hi there,


I was wondering if anyone with a child starting Y7 at East Dulwich Charter in September would like to meet up.. I know they might do an induction day in July but how about a socially distanced picnic where the kids can get to know each other a bit before starting what is quite a big transition in the autumn.


Perhaps a picnic in Peckham Rye park or Dulwich Park so lots of space to be safe in these times.


Let me know,


Thanks :)

Lovely idea - definitely keen, thank you. (Pupils currently in Southwark primaries going to Southwark secondaries will have a day in their new school on 8 July according to this document (pdf) https://localoffer.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/537/Transition-to-secondary-2021.pdf )

Sounds great!


I know they should have a taster day in school in July but something more informal, running around or lolling on a blanket in the park (inc for parents) would be nice I think :) I will post something again around the end of June so we can set a date...

Hi All,


I have been in contact with Jellybeanz who is no longer organising a meet up due to a change in circumstances. It would be a shame not to take their great idea and organise an informal meet-up for the kids (and parents) so I would like to suggest Sunday 25th July 2-4pm at Dulwich Park on the green outside the playground by the table tennis tables. (This should give us space and allow kids to play in playground or run around/play football etc). I'm not able to organise anything particular but I thought at least if we have a date and time we can just turn up and they can get on with it? If anyone wants to organise more, feel free!


Please PM if you plan to come.

Hi All,


More people have contacted to say they can't make this date than can! So have decided to change the date to the end of the holidays when less of the focus will be on holidays and goodbyes and more on a new start and new friends! So, same place and time (Dulwich Park 2-4pm) on Sunday 29th August (with term starting the following week).


Please PM if you plan to come.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
