Just to say I have friends with children in Y7 and Y10 at ED Charter and all happy on the whole. Their main gripe seems to be early start and finish times and not many after school activities but they say teaching and discipline are pretty good. My eldest attends a different school and I just wanted to agree with the comments above that school comms are far less at secondary age. Parents eve zoom calls are 5 mins per teacher so inadequate really but the teachers have so many students they can't give more time. We as parents also have to take responsibility for our children and take an active role.. I ask about homework, offer help and advice with revision techniques (which is much needed as then they feel more organised and in control, less anxious etc). Aside, in Y7 and 8 my son found a small wipe clean whiteboard with his timetable on it very helpful so would recommend! Hope this helps

Post Boris the Conservatives aimed to raise the number of police but having paid some to retire early and paid redundancy that must have been a huge waste of public money, only to U turn.. Anyway here's hoping for more and better community policing, especially at times when crime is higher such as just after school finishes. CCTV is a known deterrent. Police have mentioned that many times when we or neighbours and friends have been victims of crime. Even disguised criminals can be tracked that way.

Have you asked the school admissions officer? I'd imagine ED more likely than ND...

This sounds fantastic

Agree, plus always worth emailing local councillors if community police not helpful with offering advice and support.. tho my experience is community police are very understanding How did you find out? Police info? Robbers on bikes and scooters is rife everywhere in London sadly. My advice to my son is keep off your phone, be aware of your surroundings, stay around people and well lit roads as much as possible, and if anyone asks for phone or money hand it over without a struggle. My friend's son was mugged outside Finsbury Park station and it terrified him, robber had a knife and said he knew where be lived. Scary stuff. Near my work in the west end phone theft is rife too. Especially now certain metals are more scarce I imagine there's a real market in phones being sold on. Stay safe everyone and let's keep to practical solutions as building police presence back up will take years, so productive ideas such as more CCTV etc emailed to Ellie our local MP I feel would be far more constructive than posting critical political comments here.

They now have strict numbers for swimming but some people seem to stroll in halfway through the session I assume without a booking so the pool gets so crowded especially with babies and kids that nobody can relax and swim. Staff don't care, including lifeguards.

Sometimes the app doesn't work as it should. Definitely still free. Try the Web version if still no luck as there are glitches with the app.

It's usually if your property is adjoining or very close to the property where work is being done. As others have stated, chimney breast removal and structural walls removal definitely require your consent and your neighbour will be responsible for paying your party wall surveyors fees. They probably don't want to pay additional money but that's the law so the law is on your side. It's a safeguard at the end of the day and if you want to quote the law at your neighbour to make them take responsibility I would get a solicitors letter (few hundred pounds but money well spent as property worth a lot and a lot can go wrong with building work so best to cover yourself). https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/preventing-and-resolving-disputes-in-relation-to-party-walls/the-party-wall-etc-act-1996-explanatory-booklet you may find useful

Highly recommend Classic Lofts. They did our loft (mid terrace) and substantial refurb to move 1st floor bathroom and bedroom around. Team were great, they used specialist contractors and the tiler, plumber and other tradespeople were all excellent - professional and highly skilled. Shane project managed, Bernard occasionally stepped in where needed, and overall the quality was brilliant. We just had a slate come loose, Shane replied same day then we agreed for them to come around a few days later and he has now repaired. Absolutely would recommend very highly. Hard to find such good companies you can trust these days (we had a bad experience with kitchen builders).

I've had covid twice that I know about and am pretty sure I have had it twice more without testing positive... Both times I had it it came in waves, so my advice is make sure you rest up properly, otherwise it can last even longer. Get loads of vitamins, esp C and D, and as much sleep as possible. Hope you feel better soon. Best wishes
