Tomorrow letters detailing primary school allocations will be sent out 1st class and will be available online from 5pm.


If you're dissapointed with your families allocation please get in touch. Between 17 April and 2 May when people confirm places and waiting lists do shift.


Last year in Southwark 78% of families received their first choice primary school.


Southwark will as always will also provide support for families unhappy with their allocation.


Of the 145 families who didnt get one of their six preferences 72 came from the wider East Dulwich area.


Fingers crossed for everyone.

To add to what James has said,


Liam White, the School Preference Advisor holds one to one sessions with parents to help them out if they are unhappy with their allocations.


Tel: 0207 525 5211 Email: [email protected]

Waiting lists do shift quite a lot between offer day and September, so don't panic if in the first round your are unhappy with the school you have been allocated.


Good luck everybody for tomorrow,

Renata

Thanks for the advice, Renata. I will email Liam on the address you provided. We have not been offered any of our 6 choices - instead a school in West Norwood that I haven't heard of and won't be able to get to (far too far to walk and not on a bus route). Feeling pretty shafted - we only live 500-odd metres from our first choice.

If anyone has any further advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not affected this year but would advise not to panic. You are normally placed on the waiting lists for schools that were higher up your choice. Also, there is a huge amount of movement, particularly in the next two weeks as people accept/decline places but it continues right up until Sept.

the worst that happens is you go to a school temporarily and change later as we did (beginning of year two) as London has such a transcient population moving schools is quite normal. Hold on it should be ok but may be nail biting enroute xx

      Thames Water meter rip off?

      By Rumbero · Posted

      Thanks for taking the trouble to do the calculation.  To be honest, it’s never occurred to me to report it online.  I’ll have to look into it.  I’ve just spoken to the ‘helpline’ and, after listening to ten minutes of some, admittedly, not too disagreeable jazz music, eventually got through to the call centre.  After a lot of to-ing and fro-ing, during which the operator was clearly reciting from a script, the essential question of why I continue to be billed by the RV method, despite their insistence on fitting a meter three years ago, went unresolved.  At first they couldn’t confirm whether I had a meter at all (not their department) but then agreed that I do have one but that it’s ’inactive’ (despite clearly recording usage as detailed above). I was told to contact the ‘meter department’ separately on a different number (Mon-Fri only) and was then asked if I wanted to sign up for various ‘pensioner’ benefits, none of which I understood (probably because I am a pensioner) before being asked to provide ‘feedback’, which I politely declined.  Looking forward to listening to some more jazz on Monday morning though.

      That would be 78.231 m3, that is 78,231 liters.  The average water consumption per person in the UK is around 141 liters per day I believe.  So I'd say you're doing very well 👍 Have you tried to report your reading online?

      Apart from potentially saving money (which TBF is more likely if there are fewer people living in your home) it is better for the environment to have a  water meter,  as you have an incentive to use less water. But roll on the re-nationalisation (is that a word?) of the water companies, before our green and pleasant land is covered with raw sewage. And so that the money from our water bills goes to improve the infrastructure rather than lining the pockets of already rich people. Vote Green! Ooops sorry, that's another thread.
