There is a Malaysian pop-up, Janda Diner at the Man of Kent in Nunhead. Their stay has been extended for another month and then they are moving to a more permanent home in Peckham. https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/peckham/malaysian-pop-up-diner-finds-success-at-a-nunhead-pub/ -

How to get a dyslexia screening for my son?
Renata Hamvas replied to AnnieT's topic in The Family Room Discussion
The Bloomfield Centre does assessments. http://bloomfieldlearningcentre.org.uk/ Your son's school should be doing an initial assessment and referring him on. Have you tried contacting the school's SEN department? -
Also the Salvation Army in Nunhead run a food bank. They are open on Wednesday to Saturday and are based on Nunhead Green, a few doors down from the Nuns Head. There is also a charity shop and great cafe there

6th Form colleges - Central London?
Renata Hamvas replied to Bob Buzzard's topic in The Family Room Discussion
Yes they do, also Harris Westminster. I do think most local sixth formers do stay with one of the relatively local options. It's worth looking at St Thomas the Apostle and Harris ED both which have a mixed 6th form. Haberdashers also take in a large number of external students at sixth form level and Christ the King 6th form college in Brockley is another local option. -
The Council wouldn't do this without first writing to you asking you to do it and telling you that if you don't cut it back by a certain date, they will do it and charge it to you. The waste also would be removed. The fact it was done on a Saturday, with no letter and the waste left points to a neighbour! Renata

I also thought this was a new bakery! I would suggest changing the title to eg "mouldy bread dumped in Peckham Rye Park. Hopefully the parks staff have removed this by now Renata

Secondary school clubs and childcare vouchers
Renata Hamvas replied to mima08's topic in The Family Room Discussion
Most secondary school after school clubs are free. The things you may need to pay for are outside the activities run by teachers eg Lambda drama course if external teachers are used or Duke of Edinburgh for camping trips etc. Renata -
Charter School ED - SEN / ADHD experience
Renata Hamvas replied to schneidypops11@gmail's topic in The Family Room Discussion
Hi Bodsier, I am a Southwark Councillor! I represent Peckham Rye Ward, this encompasses South Nunhead, a bit of East Dulwich and a bit of Honor Oak, south of Peckham Rye Park and east of Forest Hill Rd. No Southwark secondary schools are under LA control, They are all academies/free or faith schools. Most children who have the most common SENs ie ADHD/dyslexia/dyspraxia don't have a statement of SEN and therefore the schools don't get additional funding to support them. What I have reported her is purely the feedback I have had from parents with children with SEN who have attended and had good experience of support for their child in local schools, in some cases they have picked those schools due to how children with SEN are supported at those schools from what they have heard from other parents. I know parents with children at Charter ED but have not had any feedback about their SEN support.
