I completely agree with Derek and ShaleneV. Why is this being seen as a "bitter battle"? From some of the rather petty comments on here there seems to be political point scoring going on by some parties when the real focus should be on the very positive news that it sounds as if at least 2 bids will be submitted and that the community should win either way if a high quality new school opens. At the end of the day isn't that what parents, young people and the community want?

Of course, but can you really not see why James and the rest of the steering group might be feeling a bit hacked off having given God knows how many hours to considering applications, only for the second placed lot to just decide that they're going to ignore that outcome altogether and basically rubbish it.


I do agree though that it would be useful to know what criteria was used by the steering group to make their decision.

I went to the Charter (when it was William Penn)and left in 1990. Great school when I was there (bias) but all went pretty wrong soon after.


Oldest neice left Askes last year and thorougly enjoyed herself. Great support from the teachers when needed and did extremely well in her GCSE's. Second neice hoping to go next year but may opt for Prendergast instead.

    • Another recommendation for Oddbods. As proof of our satisfaction we've asked them to return for some more jobs, which is sign we were happy with their work
    • Most of the groceries shops in Lordship Lane have a security presence…curious thing is I and another woman recently saw a shop lifter lift and not pay for a couple of packet of steaks, veg and bottle of wine..  Literally walked Pat the tills, one member of staff and security guard despite someone else going in front by a few people and mentioning person in question! I have to say, speechless and admired their bravado - I would not have the guts and knowing my luck, if I accidentally didn’t put something tru the till despite receipt would prob get stopped! Yes, worked with families, homeless and other people who were struggling for food so I do understand why they do it.. sad when you think about it, that in this day and age, all sorts of c people need assistance and help from community in general, food banks, olio etc….
    • Just not keen to have all these  things  in my body… having said  that, thinking about Covid again as need to come to London to two hospitals for poss overnight stays. 
    • And another one, number 6, has just gone passed as well!  I presume that the LTNs are blocking them from a more useful route. Or the surrounding road works.
