My son started Bessemer last week and is really happy there - Today he came home saying 'we had a visitor today and we did Yoga - look' and proceeded to show me positions I have never been able to do! Anyway apparently this is going to be a weekly thing......I know literacy and the rest are important but with a great teacher and a small class (max 15 til Jan)I'm pretty confident they're on the ball and will work hard on these too...


The point of this post is to let any parents who are still waiting for a local place, or are not happy with where they are, know that Bessemer still has places available and they are fully aware that many parents may want a stop-gap while waiting to get into somewhere else nearer etc.....


If you are still in a difficult position re a reception place do give them a ring and have a look at the place..you may be pleasantly surprised...


PS They also have places at their nursery for any kids who have reached 3 and a half.....


Feel free to PM me with any questions...

Really pleased to hear that is going so well for you Cora. I know that parents making their applications now are worried that there are not enough local places to go around so in a way your post is reassuring! 15 in the class that's better than Alleyn's!
Some of my daughters friends went to Bessemer & had a lovely time. The parents were strongly supportive of the school and were as happy with their kids education as I was (am) with mine at Dulwich Hamlet. It always sounded like a lovely community school to me.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
