I'd love to hear from anyone who is home schooling - our son is Year 9 and he goes to an online school, InterHigh, with real teachers and classmates. It's a great alternative to full on home schooling and he hated traditional school so we had to move on from there. We'd love to find others to meet up with locally. Do email me if you're interested.


Have you ever considered online schooling?

If you'd like to find out more about online school please do contact me. It's solved our school problems and stress. There are some drawbacks but it's great that he's following full KS3 curriculum to take IGCSE's, subject teachers and small classes with lovely students from all over the world (and also fairly nearby!). Best of all he loves it even though school never closes for snow!

Good that he enjoys it and is taking GCSE's too!!


I was home schooled from year 9, my sister from year 8 and my brother from year 2. Me and my sister opted out of taking our GCSEs, doubt my brother will do them either to be honest. Home schooling never worked for me and my sister as we refused to learn at home (we were removed from school and moved 100+ miles away from 'our lives' - rebellion). My brother up until recently has been doing online maths via Carol Vorderman, he should now be in year 8. My mum and dad took an extremely laid back route to home schooling and it was all online. My brother got involved in many activities outside of education such as swimming and scouts etc. We were inspected every few months and education inspector was always happy with progress regardless of lack of key stage curriculum. He is above and beyond his peers and a very intelligent young boy who seems to have learnt everything gradually and at his own pace.


Best of luck to you with it all. I'm sure there are plenty of home schoolers in Dulwich area, forum is just a bit quiet after Christmas.

lovely to hear from you and I'd be very happy to tell you more about InterHigh .... do give me a call or email after the new year and perhaps we could meet for coffee or you could even come up and see what it's all about.

My tel is 07963 046 456 so look forward to hearing from you soon,

best wishes, Kristin

    • Possibly a little specialist (and the ultimate eventual clothes horse unless you're into fitness!) but we have the Pivot: PIVOT | Ultimate Space-Saving Bed & Home Gym Solution It's a full weight Olympic squat rack which pulls down from the wall into a double/king bed. When we bought it as a Kickstarter project it was less expensive than a murphy bed from places like the Wall Bed Company, though this may no longer be the case. Super easy to put together ourselves.
    • The skatepark has been a great use of a derelict site, but surely the point is that that site should not have been allowed (and should not continue to be allowed) to have become derelict in the first place. As someone who couldn't live much closer to the Grove Tavern, I would welcome any redevelopment efforts. The current state of the pub is untenable, wasteful and ultimately an embarrassment for the local area.  The concerns mentioned about young people and the lack of public space for them to spend time are totally valid. And I agree, its very inspiring that a group of teenagers have built the skate park and created something out of nothing. But that shouldn't prevent the site being turned into something that is of utility to the whole community - whether that be housing, supermarkets or a pub/restaurant. 
    • Crikey. I made one comment  relating to the ice cream flavour, which referred to a previous thread which you started.  That thread was also about a specific named local cafe (not the same one). You subsequently deleted most of your very long posts on it, which included one in which you made false and insulting assumptions about another forum member (not me). Luckily nobody had quoted your posts  in their responses, so the content is no longer on here. In view of the subject of that thread (you and your son didn't like the vegan hot chocolate) I thought my comment above about the ice cream flavour was funny. I'm sorry if you found it "sarcastic". Maybe we have a  different sense of humour. I thought the rest of my posts on this thread  were helpful. I'm sorry if you didn't. I'm not deliberately "replying to every one of your posts " !!! What a very strange thing to say! To the best of my knowledge I haven't replied more to your posts than to anyone else's! I post a lot on this forum.  If you click on my name you can see all my posts.  I have lived in the area since 1991, and I have an interest in what is going on. I've been posting on here almost since the forum started. I am  retired, apart from promoting and  running music gigs, which takes up a lot of my time, however yes!  I do have many other  things to do!  I don't know if they are "better" than posting on here.  You post on here! So do many other people! If everyone had "better things to do" there would be no forum! I am  "out" on here, and always have been. I don't have anything to hide behind a forum name, and I have always gone under my own name.  You can come and find me any time if you want to address your apparent grievances with me in person. I am glad your son is better.
    • Thankfully he's better Sue, thanks to your usual sarcasm - can always rely on the fact you have nothing better to do than reply to every one of my posts. Clearly I'll have to change my ED forum name 😉 Apologies to anyone offended. We've all eaten in this cafe many many times so I've put this down to a one off. Yes obviously kids get sick. Gosh I didn't realise when ED forum became so full of passive aggressive, sarcastic people. Won't be posting again in a hurry - cue the afore mentioned type of replies in response no doubt... Oh and this incident was most definitely the icecream or person serving it having dirty hands or gloves, as my son was fine after he was sick. So no bug.  For the avoidance of doubt nobody meant for this to affect any business, so once again apols for mentioning by name. Happy icecream eating everyone.
