My daughter will be going to school in Sept 2011 and I need advice on which school to apply for and how to prioritise. I live on Upland Road and am nearest to Goodrich yet when I tried to get my daughter into the nursery there, my daughter was in the hundreds on the waiting list. Now life is getting a little more serious with Primary school decisions...


I have visited Heber and Goodrich and thought they were both great yet I am not a teacher, nor do I have any experience of kids at these schools so I was hoping that there were some parents with experience who can advise at these schools or others in the local area?


Thanks

Claire Louise

Apply to Goodrich if you're closest. There are more spaces for reception anyway than in nursery.


You are likely to have most chance with your closest community school, I don't think Heber admits anyone who falls into the category below (straigh distance)


You can ask Southwark what distance they strectched to for non siblings at Goodrich this year.

      Herne Hill School and Dulwich Prep

      By Nikn · Posted

      Hi everyone, we are trying to finslise our decision for enrolling our son for 3+ from September and currently considering Dulwich Prep or Herne Hill. We like both and appreciate there is no right or wrong answer but what we like about HH is great focus on early years and also being coed. However if we can avoid the 7+ stress then prefer to do that. Dulwich Prep is closer but the difference is not significant. we know children are very active and busy in DP and they have great facilities, but unlike HH, we don’t know much about their focus on personal development and emotional intelligence, etc! Also not sure about long-term impact of being in boys only school. Difficult decision for us and we appreciate feedback from parents if you can share please.    thank you

      Thames Water - water meters

      By QueenMab · Posted

      Yeah that was their old policy. Their new policy is to force you to have a water meter and if you refuse they put you on a punitively high tariff which effectively forces you to have one. I was doing well with my policy of polite resistance which was to say yes fine I'll have one fitted but then not actually book an appointment or cancel the appointments they made. But then I was persuaded that it would be much cheaper anyway.

      Lilac shrub cutting?

      By Karen · Posted

      Lots of lovely lilac shrubs in flower at the moment. Would anyone consider giving me a cutting? It would involve digging out a basal off shoot, roots and all. I'd love one for my new garden but I'm so broke that I have to fill it with plants the slow way!
