Just that really. We love the school and are thrilled DS got in, just wondered if there was anyone else locally (it seems to be mainly Wimbledon and Sutton kids so far, and one boy in Penge!)


Would love to hear how your boys are enjoying school - 1st choice was St Olave's, which we know a bit more about.


Thanks.

My son went to St Olave's but his best mate went to Wilson's and both boys had a choice over which one to go to. There's very little between them academically and socially - both great schools. One thing we noticed is that Wilson's pushes the boys a lot more re homework, etc. St Olave's seems to think if you're there, you need very little pushing and will achieve top marks regardless courtesy of your own efforts and ambition. My son's a lazy sod and could have done with more hoofing up his bahookie and more homework from day 1.


If your son is into footy Wilson's the better choice - St O's doesn't do footy really till the 6th form - but the journey to Wilson's can be quite long from our parts of South London (I live in Penge). Ultimately, your boy's done incredibly well and it won't make a lot of difference.

    • Nadia did a great job tidying up my very very overgrown yard. (See the before and after photos). I live in New Zealand and my tenants said a neighbour has been complaining about the out of control ivy. Nadia was easy to contact so over WhatsApp, managed to liaise between me and my tenants. Her quote was reasonable for the amount of work that needed doing, and the end result is great! She sent photos throughout so I could track progress. Would highly recommend her to others. 
    • My car was stolen a few months back from my driveway but I had a tracker and found it in a private car park in Lavender Hill close to the police station. I was lucky. The thieves hide it up against that eventuality. High spec cars are targeted I'm afraid. The way it was stolen required the thieves to wire in their own computer accessing a front light (which had had a metal sheet welded across which they prised off). They had searched for a tracker but not found it. They also had to cut away a steering wheel lock. They had to come well tooled up and briefed to do what they did. Beating them off is non trivial. As I said, them not finding my tracker was just lucky.
