Re: Two or three year gap between siblings?

I note the concern over GCSEs and A-levels combining. I’ll have that too but the positive is that you at least have a year off in between to have some less stressful breaks - if you have one after the other it is exams every year in the household. As ever I suspect there’s no right or wrong here - t...

Re: Luggage repair service in SW London?

Hi / it’s actually quite simple to replace yourself - I ordered a part online from Aldridges and followed an online guide (bizarrely samsonite Australia I think but there’s a few out there) and it worked just fine.

Re: Is a central WA group a good idea to add 11+ progress of our children?

No waaaay. We put info like open days, registration cut-offs etc. on an existing class WhatsApp but certainly not how the kids were faring. I’d keep the rest of it low key and 1:1 with your friend if you have queries around process or if there’s anything she thinks you specifically need to know. It ...

Tree surgeon

Hello. Could someone please recommend a reasonably priced tree surgeon for pruning a very oversized tree in a modest garden.
Any recommendations would be tree-mendously appreciated!

Re: Eveline Day School

Hi there - I have 2 kids there now in KS2 and am very happy with it.  Small and nurturing.  Family run.  Class size small which has many advantages but means sports can suffer (emphasis on running and athletics, netball is strong).  Drama and music are strong.  They turn out well-rounded confident k...

Re: The White House and Eveline Day School - any experiences?

Hi. Two good schools to choose between! I have 2 boys at EDS and we are very happy with the school. It's a lot bigger at the bottom end than towards the top and the school is upping its offering as it expands. Optional clubs increase as the children get older. Downside is team sports (due to size) b...
