Homework isn't everything - it has been shown at this age it may not add a lot to the children. And also reading books at a lower level make sure the skills are firmly rooted in their brains. They often are on a level for longer than the parents think is necessary. I would prefer the younger ages ar...

It does start on time - 20 mins with 10/15 min breaks between plus stoppage time. Sat night starts and finishes ...

I am not clear - is it the children's mum or grandma - if mum a charity like winstons wish or another bereavement charity could help - so you could get information for them.

Re: confused about Lambeth schools admissions!

My children are at HC - when the catchment was 250m. However we are now further up the road on Cavendish over 450m away.
