Hi there,


I was wondering if anyone with a child starting Y7 at East Dulwich Charter in September would like to meet up.. I know they might do an induction day in July but how about a socially distanced picnic where the kids can get to know each other a bit before starting what is quite a big transition in the autumn.


Perhaps a picnic in Peckham Rye park or Dulwich Park so lots of space to be safe in these times.


Let me know,


Thanks :)

Lovely idea - definitely keen, thank you. (Pupils currently in Southwark primaries going to Southwark secondaries will have a day in their new school on 8 July according to this document (pdf) https://localoffer.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/537/Transition-to-secondary-2021.pdf )

Sounds great!


I know they should have a taster day in school in July but something more informal, running around or lolling on a blanket in the park (inc for parents) would be nice I think :) I will post something again around the end of June so we can set a date...

Hi All,


I have been in contact with Jellybeanz who is no longer organising a meet up due to a change in circumstances. It would be a shame not to take their great idea and organise an informal meet-up for the kids (and parents) so I would like to suggest Sunday 25th July 2-4pm at Dulwich Park on the green outside the playground by the table tennis tables. (This should give us space and allow kids to play in playground or run around/play football etc). I'm not able to organise anything particular but I thought at least if we have a date and time we can just turn up and they can get on with it? If anyone wants to organise more, feel free!


Please PM if you plan to come.

Hi All,


More people have contacted to say they can't make this date than can! So have decided to change the date to the end of the holidays when less of the focus will be on holidays and goodbyes and more on a new start and new friends! So, same place and time (Dulwich Park 2-4pm) on Sunday 29th August (with term starting the following week).


Please PM if you plan to come.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
