When I first read this thread I thought it might be a request from Southwark Council. But having read it through again I didn't think somehow the council would use such legally challenging terminology as 'stealing'.


Like other parents facing the worrying and completely nerve-jangling prospect of securing a school place, I too abhor people who use underhand tactics to gain places for their children. Personally, however, I think it is the full responsibility of Southwark Council to 'vet' who is / isn't playing the system fairly (from the outset of an application), rather than the role of an anonymous vigilante calling for action on the EDF.


It's probably just me, but I do find the incognito / cloak and dagger nature of this thread (setting up the handle 'edadmissions' - no history) just a little sinister.


Honestly, has our desperation to getting our children into local schools really stooped to such a low level as this thread? If so, how very sad it has all come to this.

    • Hi Can anyone recommend a gardener to help lay turf and dig in a new flower bed in East Dulwich? thanks
    • It may be worth consulting your vet. If she's diabetic & on medication, she will have missed 1-2 doses. It's a relief to hear that she's home, & I hope she makes a speedy recovery.
    • The swimming lessons at JAGS Sportsclub are very popular, and the gym there might meet your needs. Southwark took over running its leisure centres from everyone active a while back and so far seems to be making a real mess of things. There’s lots of private gyms and other council ones in Lewisham and Lambeth so depending on exactly where you’re going to be you can look at those. JAGS and Dulwich College both have sports clubs with nice facilities, but you can’t use them during the school day. Check their sites for details. 
    • https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jun/26/cardiff-blackweir-festival-bute-park-dispute?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other Another example of a badly sited festival, and a council bending over for the cash. What amazes me is the similarity in every way to Gala - large areas annexed but the council trying to convince everyone it's only a tiny part of the park. Claiming that the flora & fauna is being protected when the reality is a tick-box environmental survey that's not worth the paper it's written on. All very depressing.
