Hi Renata! Sorry for the stupid question but you refer to two primaries at haberdashers. Which are the two? I?m finding it very confusing. We looked at haberdashers aske hatcham temple grove free school is there another? Many thanks, Rachael

I hope it?s good as we bought last year right by it :) it has good ofsted, our neighbours kids all go and enjoy it they are all good kids. The new school site has been well designed (won a prize). There are also one or two other schools you might be in catchment of including Hollydale, Turnham academy a catholic school (forgotten the name) and John Stainer or Beecroft in a Brockley (those last two possibly a stretch depending on exact location. Apparently they had a dodgy ofsted one year but this is usually good post report as they are monitored and make changes, so the most recent ofsted was ?good? schools can move around depending on staffing - so I don?t put much weight on ofsted unless it?s very recent. The general area is really nice and full of young families with good nurseries. Secondary is where there is a bit of a hole - Harris girls very close, options of kings dale (lottery) and maybe new cross.

We?re about to finish self isolating and are very low on food. Is it worth going to sainsburys or not? Is it reasonably well stocked now?

Awww guys! It?s no trouble. It?s so important to me but also our business that we inspire young people and encourage the creative arts as a potentially fulfilling career choice. We LOVE what we do and want other people to feel the same!

Hey! I work for a creative agency squintopera.com and we may be able to take him. Contact us on [email protected] if he is interested. We?re in Bethnal Green so a trek maybe?

Quite right Lilaclou - Climate change is something that already affects millions of human beings and is a critical problem getting worse! Little changes like this can contribute - rather than inaction - so thank you for trying to do something! Renata can be contacted directly on http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/mgUserInfo.aspx?UID=905 in case you haven't tried this option already.

I'm looking for a party venue for a Sunday afternoon to celebrate my daughters 3rd birthday. It will be mainly family, and therefore mostly adults 15 or so people - ideally somewhere that can cater inexpensive buffet food and serves alcohol as well as kid friendly and will let me bring my own birthday cake and put up some space themed decorations.

Thanks but that?s no where near where I am looking in Nunhead...

That?s great to know. Ivydale seems pretty good results wise but it would be good to think I have a bit of choice when I visit :)

Thank you so much! I have emailed you :)

We?re looking at buying in upper Nunhead catchment seems certain for ivydale but seems there is a bit of a black hole for schools here. People who live here which primaries have you managed? We seem to be 500m out of the 500m catchment from John stainer in brockley as our second closest. Does anyone know what choice we might have? I quite like the look of ivydale but it would be nice to think we had choices!

Thank god for this, i?ve Always wondered why this is not in place (the last time they tried to get entering passengers to use the ramps which makes less sense as it will take more time to get to your platform and if you?re in a rush catching a train that is inconvenient. Although I expect it will be ignored and they?ll continue to spend money on staff standing around telling people which way to walk. It?s also a shame that those with mobility issues as well as those with pushchairs trying to access the ramp and lifts to board trains will have to battle with an onslaught of exiting people. I totally fail to understand why they don?t just open an new entrance on the other side of the station!

Thanks Tomskip, it's actually in Sydenham, Byne Road. It's in the borough of Bromley. The only school that seems very comfortably in the catchment area is the Harris Academy Crystal Palace (Which is a good school but I'm not keen on these blueprint schools and neither do I like the idea of having absolutely no choice at all!) The very annoying thing is that the school that is closest to the house itself (Alexandra Juniors) the infant school that is the feeder to the juniors is out of catchment as they are different sites and the kids that are already at the infant school get priority for the juniors of course. The infant school also has a minuscule catchment area and we wouldn't have any chance of a spot. Last year only 4 places opened up at the juniors to those not from the infants, and then I'd be uprooting her during her primary education even if we were to get a spot.... Anyway.... I'm rambling....

Also - we would be just across the borough lines so the majority of schools that would be closest aren't in the borough we live in... If we don't get any of our 6 are we only offered within the borough? It's a bit of tricky situation this!

Okay, thanks! I guess the catchments change every year quite frequently as well according to the schoolchecker thing, so it's just a risk. The only school still a good school, it's just probably not one I would have naturally chosen - so it's not the end of the world.

Makes sense. Annoying as probably means we can?t buy this house! Thank you for the help!

Thank you so much! Still trying to make sense from this whole school catchment thing! So the issue is, from the 2017 numbers, there would be only 1 primary school that we would be in the catchment for, but I don't really want to send my daughter there if I Can help it. If I don't put it as any of the 6 choices, will I run the risk of not getting any of my 6 (Other, further away, but still less than a mile away) choices? I guess, what happens if none of the 6 choices can offer her a place?

Hi, would appreciate any help, we're currently looking at buying a house, which seems like it only has 1 possible primary school (Except for faith schools) There are several other (imo, better) primary schools but none of them seem to indicate that we would be successful. What would happen if I don't put the closest school down on my 6 preferences because I would prefer to be further away at a better school?

I liked the NHS Classes I went to at Dulwich hospital. I did NCT as well and keep in touch with both groups as at NHS we added to a whatsapp group. It was a different perspective to the NCT and helped to reinforce the information. If I had realised how informative the NHS group was, I probably wouldn't have bothered with NCT for the learning, but it was good to have a wider group of friendly new parents at a similar stage to me so having both was nice. I can't remember when I got notification and the dates, but I think it was after 30 weeks. Good luck! R

Hi, I'm looking to book a week in Sept / October ideally in a baby friendly villa in Italy or Greece . anyone have any recommendations. Mid range budget somewhere for at least 6 adults.

I went to visit this place, I was impressed by the staff who seemed very engaged. The outside space was small but nice. The kids all seemed very happy and bright. I also liked that the baby room was separate to the older children until they could confidently move around. The only thing that let it down a bit for me was the menu wasn't very inspired. Jam tarts and fish fingers kind of thing. If I had lived closer it would definitely have been a consideration and from what they said I reckon they would probably be happy to review their menu. Loads better than some of the other nurseries I visited.
