We have been thinking about this question lately, and when I typed ?are priv? and google guessed that I was going to type ?are private schools worth it?


We are talking about ?7000 a term for a day school, 3 times a year, plus all the extras. This is much more expensive than what I expected, as I went to a boarding school myself many years ago and at that time it was around ?4000 per term and that includes accommodation and meals. It?s scary how it?s increased over the years!


Would love to hear people?s views on Alleyn?s and Dulwich College Junior School. What are their class sizes and do your children / your friends? children like it there?


I also know that it?s difficult to get a place. Anyone has any idea how many people do they take at the various entry points 7+ / 9+ / 11+ / 13+? (Already missed the boat for the 4+ entry...) Which intake is relatively less competitive?


Many thanks in advance.

      Lordship Lane Post Office Closure

      By Moovart · Posted

      And just by coincidence I tried to scan the cheques in to my account today but the app wouldn't scan so my bank told me I would have to go to a branch or to the post office as they couldn't work out what the problem was. Hah!

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      No and Wes Streeting is heading in this direction because he knows the NHS is broken and was never built to cope with the demands currently being placed on it. A paid-for approach in some shape or form, and massive reforms, is the only way the NHS can survive - neither of which the left or unions will be pleased about.

      Labour talks about, and hopefully will do something about, the determinants of poor health.  They're picked up the early Sunak policy on smoking and vapes.  Let's see how far they tackle obesity and inactivity. I'd rather the money was spent on these any other interventions eg mental health, social care and SEN, rather than seeing the NHS as income generating.

      Had to take a second look!

      I think it's connected with the totem pole renovation celebrations They have passed now, but the notice has been there since then (at least that's when I first saw it - I passed it on the 484 and also took a photo!)
