Putting a school with a high number of applications first on your list does NOT affect your chances of being offered any other school. The "computer" at PAN London applications submits your name to all schools you applied to without telling the school which number you placed it at. The school then decides whether to offer you a place according to their criteria - distance/lottery, etc. All/some of the schools may offer you a place. The computer only tells you about the highest ranked school in your order of preferences. Hence you must put them in the true order of your preference in order to stand a chance of getting the school you want most.

Try Burgess Park GoKart Track - much cheaper!

Gumboots usually do a holiday playscheme - they run in Goodrich and East Dulwich Community Centre on Darrell Road.

We have had 2 parties at the go-kart track there - really good and it's definitely suitable for 14year olds. I think alice is talking about the bike track next to it as I think they have to be 10? to do the go-karts. I know they run lots of sessions, and they are really friendly.

Yes, there is one up the hill - Battersea Rise, on the edge of the common with lots of stuff for toddlers!

> Yes, did anyone else see the Head of DHJS on breakfast TV?

Fractionater, my daughter and I saw some boys throw a stone which smashed a car window on our road on Friday night. They did look quite shocked, and then, as if by magic, two community wardens appeared! I dunno what happened after that, but one of the boys involved lives on the road....!
