Charter, Harris Boys, Kingsdale, Sydenham Girls. If you want Charter as a co-ed, you will need to be very careful indeed where you move to as the catchment seems to shrink every year and many ED applicants were disappointed this year. Kingsdale admission is by random allocation (ballot) unless your child gets one of the top sports or music scholarships.

Yes its been like that for a number of years, but they give out more scholarships than 15% places so there's still a lottery element. Their admissions policy seriously needs clarity

The way it works is that you rank your orders in preference, schools don't know the order. If you are offered a place at say your 3rd choice, then you automatically go on the waiting list for choices 1 and 2, there is a lot of movement as people refuse places, some may be moving area, or choosing private, this movement continues through the first term. You will not automatically be placed on the waiting list of choices below your ranking but you can call them and ask to be placed on their waiting list.

    • I have been training at the hub for just over one year. I really enjoy the variety of training offered and the quality of the instructors. Very effective group classes and enjoyable in the open air! A very welcoming place which makes a fitmess journey pleasant!  
    • We're are just about to get ready for sale, a 2 bed flat, very close to Peckham Rye park.  It has been rented out for sometime, so is in need of some TLC for it to look its best, before it goes on the market.  Would be interested to know others thoughts on whether its best to just have the place painted completely white throughout, probably with new grey flooring, or if it might be more appealing to add some colour/interest (nothing too drastic), perhaps something alittle 'warmer', with some nice (potentially dark) feature walls maybe? Wondered whether the days of going completely white might now have passed ..... It might be useful to know that its not a period or conversion property, but rather a flat in a private purpose built block. 
    • It's a Microsoft . pub file, and it does open OK, but that's a discontinued program which used to be part of the full Office suite. I've got an old machine with old software and it's still on that.  This is a .pdf version (I hope)April 2025 Dulwich Hill Newsletter.pdf
    • Even with Acrobat pro - it does not open even though it is an acrobat doc.   Error: "Adobe Acrobat could not open 'April 2025 Dulwich Hill Newsletter.pub' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then choose Save as Adobe PDF from the PDF dropdown in the Print dialog."
