I know it's Camberwell and not ED (is there a Camberwell forum?). I've been visiting all the local primary schools that my daughter might get into and wondered if anyone with kids at Lyndhurst might PM me their thoughts. I didn't come away feeling positive and wonder if I just caught them on a bad day? Thanks

We visited both Lyndhurst and Dog Kennel Hill and DKH won hands down with their welcoming attitude. I too was dismayed by Lyndhurst. Daughter has been at DKH now for a couple of years and couldn't be happier! All the staff are fantastic and it is a wonderful community. Go with your gut instinct at all times!
I would also be interested in knowing the reasons why you did not like this school, as am considering putting it as an option for my daughters. I have not yet had the chance to visit, but have heard positive things about the school from others... would you mind PMing me with what you didn't like? Thanks
rfoxxi, I dare say your daughter would have been very happy had she spent the last couple of years at Lyndhurst. I say that not just as a longstanding Lyndhurst parent with two children there and one who left a couple of years ago but as someone who believes a balanced view on this is important. One thing to bear in mind for prospective parents at Lyndhurst is that it has moved from 1.5 to 2 form entry and there will be a lot of building work at the school over the next couple of years. The school seems to have considered the consequences of the inevitable disruption very carefully and Southwark will be conducting a formal consultation with parents, children and other stakeholders. I have no regrets about my children being at Lyndhurst but I would also have been happy had we got our first born into DKH. Alec

    • Nice to see an AI fantasy in the New Year. And the late nineteenth century language model is well chosen. But what's being described is rubbish. Picturesque rubbish but rubbish nonetheless. Picking up after dogs is a very late 20th century habit, if even that - poo bags weren't a thing until then, even nappy sacks can't date back much earlier than the 1970s.
    • Good sir/ madam, I find your stance on civil discourse deeply disquieting. In an age when so many bury their heads in the sand, refusing to confront even the most modest concerns, one cannot help but be reminded of a far darker era—when complacency and willful blindness paved the way for atrocities on the scale of Nazi Germany. Small problems, if left to fester, can swiftly grow into monstrous evils that threaten the very fabric of our society. Allow me to draw upon a memory from my own family history to illustrate the gravity of this point. During the Blitz, when bombs rained down upon London night after night, my mother still found the resolve to pick up after our beloved Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Petuna. Even in the face of unimaginable chaos, she refused to shirk her basic responsibilities. Such simple acts of care and integrity, even under fire, stand as a testament to the kind of unwavering diligence we ought to uphold in more peaceful times. Hence, I beseech you to look inward and examine what else you might be letting slip by with your ostrich-like aversion to conflict. Far too often, those who choose not to see are the ones who unwittingly allow true dangers to flourish. By refusing to speak out or engage, we risk enabling the very forces that degrade our communities and tear at the seams of our shared humanity.
    • Hello all - The Met have advised me that my car, stolen on New Year's Eve, is still in the area as the license plate has pinged on the NPR system a few times. But they are not able to know where it actually goes, as it's being driven around, and so cannot recover it. So if - on the off chance - anyone happens to see it, parked or moving: 2004 grey SmartCar, soft top, plate LB04 FTU, I would appreciate it if you could let me know where and when. A quick text is all I need: 07748 654889. Every other aspect has already been dealt with. Just trying to recover myself. Many thanks in advance.  
    • Thanks for the tip @buffruffly.  We've had Richard here all week refurbing our sash windows. He's done a great job and we are pleased with the craftsmanship and the value. He is very polite and tidy too.  Unfortunately, for others looking for his help, he just told me as he is now in his 60s, he may move onto doing something else as it is quite hard manual work.
