Just that really. We love the school and are thrilled DS got in, just wondered if there was anyone else locally (it seems to be mainly Wimbledon and Sutton kids so far, and one boy in Penge!)


Would love to hear how your boys are enjoying school - 1st choice was St Olave's, which we know a bit more about.


Thanks.

My son went to St Olave's but his best mate went to Wilson's and both boys had a choice over which one to go to. There's very little between them academically and socially - both great schools. One thing we noticed is that Wilson's pushes the boys a lot more re homework, etc. St Olave's seems to think if you're there, you need very little pushing and will achieve top marks regardless courtesy of your own efforts and ambition. My son's a lazy sod and could have done with more hoofing up his bahookie and more homework from day 1.


If your son is into footy Wilson's the better choice - St O's doesn't do footy really till the 6th form - but the journey to Wilson's can be quite long from our parts of South London (I live in Penge). Ultimately, your boy's done incredibly well and it won't make a lot of difference.

    • Just seen them! Moved into Barry Rd 33 years ago and remember watching dozens of them in the sky as we sat in the back garden the first evening. Look out for them every year. Lifts your spirits when they arrive. 
    • Aleksandra was the driving force behind the conversion of what was a nice but very outdated house into what is now my beautiful, vibrant and modern home. I cannot recommend her enough- she was a pleasure to work with- she has an uncanny eye for detail and her sense of style is unparalleled. She knew where to push me beyond my “safe beige” colours but always kept my personality and preferences in mind. She sourced fabric / colours / lighting designs , she found local options for spectacular interior ideas in the kitchen , display cabinets , bathrooms , bedrooms and wardrobes. She never went beyond budget and was very timely in her execution. The result was a beautiful home that even after 8 years looks as stunning as it did when first put together. It is as liveable as it is beautiful and none of it would have been possible with Alexandra. I truly could not recommend her highly enough- there are few people with her work ethic and style. Thank you Alexandra !
    • The Lib Dems are against tightening visa requirements to live in the UK and against shrinking the university sector, and also (at least in Dulwich) against housing being built if it means that foreign students live in it. 🤷
