I've posted on a public forum because I am trying to make contact with other parents and there isn't really another way. Those parents concerned will know about this scheme. They'll also be aware that the home/school agreement requires that parents don't post on social media about the school and I don't want to be unnecessarily inflammatory.

Oh, bawdy-nan, I think I should have put an 'LOL' after my previous post. It was a (bemused) observation, not a criticism. ;-)


Hitting the right level of dymanic feedback with schools is a tricky one simetimes. It shouldn't be. But it is. Sigh.


Hope you got some useful PMs. xx

I don't know the ins and outs of this scheme, i.e. the cost, as not connected with this school but I would be more than miffed at our secondary 'insisting' on ipads. We have a home comp and a family ipad and I really do not want to buy another ipad for each of my 3 children.


I can well imagine the benefits etc but funny all the schools who banned mobiles for years citing amongst other probs potential mugging en route to school and home now think it is perfectly acceptable for the kids to be carrying ipads.


It's a slippery, inevitable, expensive slope :(

I just think its a shame that we are seemingly unable to discuss secondary schools on the ED Forum (any secondary school it now appears) without being shut down or told to shut up.


I sincerely doubt many parents in this neighbourhood have a purely hostile or aggressive starting point. They just want opinions and honest discussion.

    • I would also like to recommend Andy for plumbing. I had a leak under my kitchen tap and he was able to visit and resolve the issue in the same day. Prompt and efficient service and very professional. 
    • It's about ensuring it's the medical facilities you are accessing, hence the sign-in actually in Tessa Jowell. And I think there are visual as well as camera checks, after all a number of people drive in and out of the car park to drop patients off. Clearly they are not parked up, so it's not relevant if they are fleetingly on camera. It's only those actually parked who need to identify themselves as patients. 
    • Thanks CPR Dave for the link to Southwark's leaf cleaning schedule. Good to see that.   I think that what may have happened was the leaves weren't cleared during the scheduled week for Whateley Road, which was w/c 17 November.  Then they were cleared a couple of weeks ago instead. We have been here through all of autumn,  and there has been a steady build-up of leaves on this stretch since October.  At one point there was a deep layer to wade through. The photos I posted were from 17 December, and as you can see,  the leaves had been trampled and compressed into the ground. It looked a lot worse at times.   Lots of school kids from the primary school walk up and down this pavement.   In case this happens next year,  I have found a contact page about streets https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking-streets-and-transport/contact-us-about-transport-and-roads - so I could ask them what their plans are.  
    • Amrutha is excellent, unless you are died in the wool meat and two veg most will find the food to their taste and it certainly isn't a place that expects you to be a sandal wearing vegan. Recommend Matoon too, there are many great places in SE23, SE4 and SE26 if you get chance to get on a bus. Don't have takeaways very often and would only do this when they employ their own delivery people due to all the issues with the slave labour that is Deliveroo and the like (and numerous other issues).  Yes it is a different thread but I can't stop myself reminding people.
