Dear all,


I am looking for a school place in east dulwich for my daughter. The most accessible school in terms of catchment area is the green goose.


I was wondering what people were thinking of the school? I am particularly interested in testimonies from existing parents.


Many thanks in advance

I have children in Y2 and Y4, they love school and are thriving. The school is a national support school (ie considered so good that it mentors less successful schools). It is ambitious, nurturing, friendly and vibrant. There is an open morning on Tuesday 5th, come and see for yourself. There are usually parents of current students on hand to chat after the tour.

What year group are you hoping to join?

I'm very happy with the school - my son is in year 4 and doing very well. In addition to the strong academics at the school, I'm particuarly pleased that his talent in art and music is recognised and able to be developed by a full-time art teacher (a art school graduate) and full-time music teacher (practicing musician and graduate of trinity college of music)


There is a tour for prospective parents tomorrow morning - Tuesday 5th November. Come to the school by 9:15am (prompt start so come early if you can). After the tour, prospective parents can meet existing parents over tea and coffee and get a parents persepective on the school.

    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing. 
    • interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
