Hello all


Hoping this has happened to someone else who can advise on what to do - I don't like to post negative things but I am stumped. I am trying to apply for second daughter's sibling place in reception. Since applying for my first daughter's place a few years ago, we have moved borough. The Eadmissions website won't let me change my address because of the borough change and tells me to contact Southwark.


Southwark are being unhelpful and despite several emails (told me first that they could do it when they tried and then to talk to Lewisham when I insisted I could not) and 3 phone calls (haven't yet managed to talk to anyone who knows) I have made no progress. Lewisham refers me to Eadmissions and Eadmissions refers me back to Southwark! It must be so simple and must happen all the time!


Has this happened to anyone and how did you resolve it? I can't create a new account because the children exist on the system.


Thanks!

Are you going through the borough of Lewisham's application website?


I think you apply from the borough you live in now and can put schools in any borough (eg Southwark) on your list if that makes sense!


We moved from Southwark to Lewisham and the Lewisham eadmissions form let me put in the new child and new address on the Lewisham site.

Hello

Thanks Verds, that is helpful. I used my old Eadmissions log-on, as I understood I should do, and added the younger daughter, so she is now on the system, so I need Southwark to change it their end. If I had started anew with a new account with Lewisham maybe that would have been the answer but I can't now do that! I guess that explains why I seem to the the only one with this problem...

Have you tried to contact Lewisham Family Information Services? I've found FIS really helpful in the past with other issues. https://www.lewisham.gov.uk/myservices/socialcare/children/Pages/Family-Information-Service.aspx
Just an update in case anyone else gets in a similar mess. Someone finally helped me from Eadmissions at London Grid for Learning after a request from Southwark. I had to remove 'sibling' from my application and then delete the application and I was then able to change the address before starting the application again. Hurrah.

    • Greg came out at last minute notice to address a leak at the flat. He stayed for 90 mins to try and fix it but turned out it was a communal pipe. He was quick to write a report so we could get Southwark onto it. Great plumber, would recommend highly. 
    • My daughter, a single parent, has been let down by her children's' father, who was supposed to have them for part of the school holidays, So we are helping out. Our grand daughter aged 11 is no problem, but 9year old is more difficult to please. Has an interest in computers and coding, does not like crowds (neurodiverse)  Is keen n how things work and enjoys taking things apart. He is already going to the transport museum and has been to the science museum  Husband and I have some mobility problems so nothing too strenuous. have done Horniman's a number of times.  Is there any local holiday schemes where we can enrol him in for 2/3 days. There seems to be a number relating to singing/dancing and drama but nothing science/maths based. He does not have an interest in sport at the moment. Grand children live in Sussex and will be attending Holiday Clubs for a couple of weeks  
    • When I had a dead fox in my garden the council told me to put it in my wheelie bin, the green one.  I warned the dust bin men when they came that it was in there.They said they get worse than foxes put it!  Dead bodies!?  In the heat it might be better to bag it up first. Pam
