Well...


I have said this elsewhere (I'm beginning to enjoy this nagging) but the way to stop the school worry is to write to our locl MP's so that Dulwich gets its school problem sorted and now is the time as the current school places crisis is in full flow.

Hmm, have mulled this one over, many times over the past 14 years. We've thought about moving, but nope - ED has it all, & where we live in ED suits us down to the ground. Excellent primary ed & outstanding secondary ed all within 10 minutes walking distance (adult legs). Really, we'd be mad to move (oh yes, forgot to mention fab neighbours)!


Incidentally my friends out in the sticks tell me the school catchment situation is just as bad elsewhere. I think I'd have to have a much, much better reason than 'education' to move.

Slightly off topic but what happens if you live in one place, get into a local primary school and then move house out of the catchment area while the child is still going there? Do you have to switch schools (wondering if it's like doctors' surgeries!)

no


many people rent in a catchment area for the sole purpose of getting into a school, and then move out when they have got a place. Distasteful behavior


Still, it would be a cheaper option , but time expensice to find Whatever brand of God provides the best option for your kids education and give it 3 or so years of worship and glad handing the vicar/priest/Rabbi etc at every opportunity to get his approval for the school it is attached to . and you go to heaven at the end of it apparently , so maybe not entrely wasted

    • As I understand it, Poundland itself  has been saved (and is reassessing what it sells and its pricing strategy) but nevertheless is getting rid of a quite a few stores, including the ED one. There was a thread on here about it before it opened, and Lordship Lane always seemed to be a very odd choice of location for what used to be called a "pound shop".
    • But without knowing why they were removed, I don't see how we can comment. Does anybody know the reason?  I thought Malumbu's post was useful information, given the subject matter of this thread  I didn't think it was patronising.
    • Milo came home briefly last night but was unsettled and incredibly wary of us. We know he's be staying at other people's homes on and off over the summer, and this is very unsettling to him. If he's coming to yours for food or inviting himself in for the night, please turn him away or put him back out. He has a home, he is loved, and he is well looked after when he is here. He probably goes elsewhere as he not a huge fan of his medications or diet, but he has those for a reason. If he's not here, we can't make sure he stays well or be sure he's safe.
    • I would 100% recommend Silvano for anyone looking to learn to drive for the first time or refresh their skills. I took lessons with him after not driving for over a decade and Silvano got me back to driving confidently much more quickly than I thought possible. He’s super friendly and a great & patient teacher. Couldn’t recommend him more!
