Hello

I'm only 24 weeks pregnant but have decided to start thinking about our future daughter's education already. That's just the type of neurotic person I am, I'm afraid :)

Having been state-educated ourselves, my husband and I have no idea how it all works. I've looked at a few of the websites (DUCKS, Alleyn's, JAPs, Sydenham girls etc.) and it seems as if most of them take admissions from 4+, in the way that a state primary would, although some seem to offer nursery/ kindergartens prior to that.

I know you can register at DUCKs but I take it the others just involve ability assessments at age 4? Should I be thinking about pre-prep/ nursery at my favoured school or can I wait until age 4? Is it a total bun fight or have we got a good chance of getting her a place?

All intel gratefully received, thank you

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour

      As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)

      Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.

      Is that a fact or an opinion?
