Gosh, that has hit home! My thoughts go out to the families. I heard that the parents of one of the children is going to have to pay a very large sum to have their son repatriated (no travel insurance). Is there anything we can do as a community to help them?

That is so terrible. Will try and find out if this is the case, my son knew them. If so what a lovely thought Edmummy, count me in, what could we do?

Horrible as this is for the boy's parents, friends and teachers - nastier still is a kneejerk, left wing, response by a Guardian writer Kia Abdullah to gap year students with double barreled names, on Twitter.


She has since deleted the offending tweet but it remains available on the web for us to see how unpleasant some people can be.

I called Charter yesterday to ask about fund raising but have not heard back. If they cannot help, I would be happy to collect money at my shop, near the school, as I have already had many customers wanting to contribute something. However I would not know where to send the money. Many parents from other schools have kindly offered cash help and I hope somehow something helpful can be done. This is just an awful awful tragedy.

      Nursery school

      By tomem · Posted

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
