Mightyroar understands me so well. Families round here have always tended to flee to the burbs when their children reach teens, but some stay and since there are far more primary children here now than for decades, expect more teens soon. Worth thinking about where they'll be expected to hang out


And where they'll go to school ?

I found it interesting that the Harris Academy in Peckham (secondary school) will from September have 60 fewer pupils entering. Apparently fewer kids in the area.

Locally we have the new Harris Boys Academy that opened on its temporary site last September and moves to its permanent site this September with intake of 150 boys.

So clearly taking into account changing in schools the demographers don't think at secondary stage a problem is brewing.


At primary school level a bulge of pupils for the next 6-8 years is predicted and plans afoot to cope with this.

    • I totally agree it just seems that it a thing nowadays.  It must be due to how fireworks are sold. 
    • Well worth a read   https://manchestermill.co.uk/the-men-who-raised-the-flags/
    • If it was limited to a couple of days a year, so we all knew, that would be fine. In the last few years (and it is a recent thing) you get random fireworks going off any time after dusk for half the year. It does more than cause problems for pets and wildlife- it can mean lasting damage and massive expense and hassle for pet owners. All because some get a buzz out of loud bangs.
    • Ohh dear.  Fireworks can be great fun.  Where I used to live the kids would have firework wars/games.  Watching them was more enjoyable than watching  TV. (Which you could hardly hear due to the pops and bangs).  It's not like anyone/anything could stop them. I would still prefer organised public displays that are affordable.   And I agree that fireworks cause problems for wild life, pets and people.   It seems to be one of those things that just happens so we have to put up with it.  But it is still not as problematic here as in other areas in London - that's for sure.
