I just wanted to add some information. I am a Southwark resident but my closest schools are in Lewisham. I received an offer of a school in Lewisham, although not my first choice.. If you are a Southwark resident, Southwark will only automatically place you on a waiting list for other Southwark schools. If you want to be on the waiting list for a Lewisham school, you need to contact them in writing directly.


When speaking to Southwark this morning, they told me they could give me waiting list info on other Southwark schools on Monday.

Hi Reneta;


We did not get offered any of the six schools we chose, and got offered a school 2 miles away from us.


A friend of ours, who lives closer to this school, has not been offered a school at all (which does contradict your first sentance I am afraid). They were on time and live in southwark.


Regarding our child, we will not be able to accept this school offer, since it is too far to walk and will take hours on public transport.


Regarding waiting lists, we will ask to be placed on the waiting lists for the schools we chose. Can you tell me please the criteria for these waiting lists, I believe that it is based on the same criteria as the original decision. My partner though believes it is based on the priority the school was placed on our list.


Also, what happens if we refuse?


many thanks


Jon

    • Reeves and Truss have both displayed incompetence. The former can also  be  accused of dishonesty and misrepresentation. However, this all pales into insignificance in comparison to the utter incompetence and stupidity shown by David Lammy.  He accused Donald Trump of being "a woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath" and a "tyrant in a toupee" plus a "racist KKK and Nazi sympathiser" To make matters worse, Lammy's first decision as Foreign Secretary was to hand over sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. The Chagos is home to the large American airbase that is strategically located in the Pacific and a priceless bulwark against Chinese expansion in the region. There will be a price to pay as Trump in not one to forgive and forget. In reality he is renowned for his retribution on his critics and opponents. For that reason, it would not be surprising if Lammy and Reeves were disposed of in the first cabinet reshuffle.

    • From the sign. Turn left up Peckham Rye, turn right onto Barry Road, straight across at the lights onto Eynella Road which leads you to Court Lane and Dulwich Park. You could turn right here and Dulwich Village is at the end of Court Lane. Of course you could stand by the sign and be “Now here or Nowhere”
    • I know nothing about farming so can't really comment but when I read things like this interesting thread from Guy Shrubsole I am increasingly cynical about those making the loudest noise.  And yes it is a genuine link.
