Hi there,


My daughter is starting in reception at Goodrich in a couple of weeks and I was wondering if anyone else wanted to meet for a picnic or something before they start? I've heard of another school previously organising something similar and that it's been really helpful to let the kids meet others in an informal setting before starting reception.


Let me know if you fancy it- time is rather short before they start but hopefully it will be possible to squeeze something in!

both good, picnic area marginally better for purposes of containment (see my thread re high energy ch ildren ;) but I can find ways to bribe the smaller one if need be.


btw has anyone heard re school dinners? I haven't had any notification from Southwark so wondering what'll happen on my son's first day, in fact haven't actually heard if he's supposed to stay for lunch or not (doing 10-1 so cd go either way).

I'd be a fan of the picnic area in pr park too for the same reason (will have 2 year old and 3 month old with me too!). Haven't heard anything about school dinners- I just assumed they'd be getting them... Will Defo ask the person who comes for the home visit, so I can sort packed lunches for the first day if needs be!

Just checked the letter and the kids do stay for lunch, they need to be collected at 1.10pm from their classroom. No mention of hot dinners or packed lunch so will assume that will be discussed at the home visit.


So Peckham Rye picnic area on Friday 6th, does 10.30pm sound good?

All Southwark primary school children up to Year 4 (or possibly more now) qualify for free school meals. If you want your child to have packed lunches then that's absolutely fine, but certainly I've found in my children's classes that pretty much everyone has school meals now.

    • 🤣  After a horrible very long day at work I came home..read this post and laughed out loud....thank you! We made the error of visiting the one in Dulwich just after it opened...you missed nothing. I dont mind paying a bit more for something decent but honestly it was one of the most underwhelming badly cooked meals I've eaten,  with an accompnayment of awful muzak and dire dire service . really overpriced too I agree.
    • But you started this thread back in 2023 James! You must have known this site would be going ahead? Now you’re saying 12-18 months. 
    • Such developments typically have 6-18months resolving all the conditions imposed on the approve scheme. While this going on they'll be lining up the constructions contractors, project management, etc. I'd guess 12-18months time. 
    • this makes me realise how the world has changed...in the 90's I lived in Chelsea which you'd assume was a pretty safe neighbourhood..One night someone stole my beautiful and heavy  (they were made of stone or concrete) fully planted windowboxes from my windowsills..I lived in a raised ground floor flat with a pretty steep drop to the basement, They must have climbed over the railings on the stairs and onto the sill then passed them to an accomplice..Impossible to do this solo. They also stole a beautiful stone owl that I had on the sill. I reported the theft to the police-this was the days before ring doorbells etc-they came filed a report and description of the stolen goods AND I got a letter and phone call from victims support!
