Dear all,


I am currently seeking a new primary school place for my 9 year old son. He was recently diagnosed with Developmental Co-Ordination Disorder (Dyspraxia). I have been advised by Educational Psychologist that he can succeed in mainstream but will need a sensitive SEN department.


Does anyone have any recommendations?


We live in the Denmark Hill/Herne Hill area but willing to travel for the right school.


Thank you in advance.

Hi

Every school should have a 'sensitive' SEN department but it so often comes down to the individual SENDCo or Inclusion team. DCD can be successfully accommodated in schools. Talk to the SENDCos in your preferred schools and share your concerns. Your son's diagnostic report should also include recommendations you can share with the Inclusion teams.

Good luck.

Jane

      Fake barbers

      By NewWave · Posted

      My husband goes to the newish one near the Watchpolisher on Lordship Lane.(sorry cant remember name-) I can assure you they're not 'fake'  He started going there because his excellent long-term barber had to rent a chair there when the shop he used to work from in Forest Hill closed. I think one needs to be careful when making statements like that above as it can damage reputable buisnesses. Also I should add the Barbers I mention always seems to be busy

      The London Fitted Wardrobe Co. - Julian Richards

      By madger · Posted

      Another glowing review for Julian!! I am now referring to Julian as ‘the legend’. I had spent 5 years waiting until I could afford to get some cupboards built in, and I couldn’t be happier. I am often allergic to overbearing advice when it comes to work I have commissioned and am paying for, but I found Julian’s advice so helpful. He offered his opinion about my plans in a very constructive way, and helped me come up with a much better plan. His ideas were better than mine! Not something I usually like to admit. The work was exemplary, and he cleared up beautifully. He was communicative and a pleasure to deal with. I am so delighted with my cupboards and floating shelves. He doesn’t paint them, but I think that is better, as it’s a specialist job, and it means you can either save money and paint them yourself, or get a painter and decorator to paint them properly. He is a brilliant carpenter. The only problem now is that I have so much more hanging space thanks to his advice, that I may not get rid of all the old clothes I can no longer fit into!  Anyway, highly highly recommended if you need fitted carpentry cupboards or shelves, and want to work with someone who cares about the outcome. Thank you so much Julian!
