Re: how long do we put up with the classroom disruption before we say something?

I have no tolerance for things like this- a child is being disruptive and having a negative impact on your child’s education, it has to be sorted out ASAP. Especially in a private school, we are paying for things like this to be dealt with seamlessly.

Housekeeper

Hello all, Our lovely housekeeper has decided to follow a lifelong dream to try and open a restaurant. We are therefore now on the hunt for a new helper- ideally 12.00pm to 7.30/8pm 4 days a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday). Main roles would be all household cleaning, as well as some help...

Re: local secondary schools for average academic daughter

There are plenty of options for children who are not super bright- it’s impossible that all london private school children are geniuses! My daughter is not mega bright- we have tried to bolster her extra curricular activities as much as possible and give her concrete achievements in those so as to n...

Gymnastics - help!

Hello, Long shot but I was wondering if someone could help my daughter with learning some basic gymnastic moves (especially walkovers and backbends). She’s good at handstands and cart wheels but needs to have these perfected by end of summer. Is there anyone with experience who might be able to spen...

Re: Bringing forward second vaccine?

You could go to one of the super vaccination events at the football stadiums today- I believe they are giving our second vaccines as long as there has been more than a month between jabs. I think there is one in Stamford bridge in Fulham today.

Ps why has ronangel not been blocked yet??

Re: Birthday Party ideas for 8 year old boy!

Go ape is really good fun, my daughter and her friends really enjoyed it. Sharky and George do great parties always- they’re expensive but worth it. You could rent out the exhibit cinema in Balham if your sons friends are calm enough to sit through a movie! The leisure centres do good swimming parti...

Re: Bad experience with Simon Yeo from Ninjakids

I disagree. The point of this post was to alert other parents to negligent behaviour on behalf of a service provider. In that sense it is no different to other review sites. A key characteristic of social media is that it has enabled consumers to propagate their review of things to a far wider audie...

Re: Bad experience with Simon Yeo from Ninjakids

Utterly unacceptable. Not only must it have been so unpleasant for your son, but also very dangerous. Our school had just issued a notification about an attempted abduction of a child last week- I know this has been circulated in a few other schools too. God forbid this man had seen your son standin...

Drama lessons

Hello everyone. I was wondering if someone might be able to point me in the right direction. My 7 year old daughter really wants to do drama lessons outside of school but she didn’t like the stagecoach/perform approach where the lesson is split into dancing/singing/acting- she would very much like t...

Re: Has anyone held a kids birthday party on Wandsworth common?

The dog free zone next to skylark cafe is the best place as it’s completely gated all the way around. It’s also near the tennis court toilets and parents can pop over for a takeaway coffee if they fancy. Pizza works well, or finger foods like nuggets and little sausages. The most covid friendly woul...

Re: am i the only one in Clapham without hundreds of friends

I agree about the email this morning- It made me feel rather inadequate for a moment or two....
I guess some people are extremely social. The idea of having something on every night from know until mid July makes me feel rather panicky- lockdown or no lockdown!

Re: OPEN LETTER re VACCINATION MANDATES BY EMPLOYERS FOR EMPLOYEES OR POTENTIAL EMPLOYEES.

This letter is utter rubbish. It is completely unsubstantiated, the links that it lists to provide ‘evidence’ are often to shady websites and minor local news operators, and quite often don’t work anyway. The covid vaccine is safe and efficient- peer reviewed study after peer reviewed study has stat...
