Thought on Dog Kennel and Goose Green Primary?


Recommended Posts

Hello there, as some may know the reception schools admissions deadline is fast approaching. We already have our top 3 choices (Belham, Bellenden, SJSC mainly because of location and our feel) but haven't had a chance to visit Goose Green and Dog Kennel Hill Primary school yet which would make up the rest of our spots. What are your experiences on either school and would you recommend? Hoping our child will get into the top 3 but you never know... Many thanks.

We really liked Goose Green when we visited last year, the new head is great and the parents we spoke to are very positive about the school and the changes they've seen. There are some active parents from Goose Green on the forum and I'm sure they'll weigh in. We placed it above SJSC and Bellenden in our choices, but got into our first choice (Belham) which our son loves. Good luck wherever you choose.

Our children have attended Goose Green since 2014 and we couldn't be happier. We are really involved in the school community and, by lucky coincidence, I will be helping host the prospective parent teas after the school tour this coming Tuesday at 9am. I couldn't recommend coming on the tour enough - it's the perfect opportunity to meet Simon the Head and chat with current parents. Only then will you get a true feel for the school. Hopefully see you there!

    • Can you just queue up to withdraw cash or are other transactions like stamp purchasing required?  Do M&S do cash back?
    • Or don't stop using cash. Stop using your phone or even your watch as a banknote. At the same time avoid the risk of having your card cloned at cash points, by hand held card readers, oyster readers and point-of sale terminals to name a few. God only knows how much damage we're doing to the planet because all the above must require a hell of a lot of resources and juice from the grid. It won't happen though. I know of quite a few people who deem carrying cash about as a pain/ chore. But not a big lump of plastic with a screen and full of personal information that can be easily gleamed. I feel the same about carrying a phone about so i don't most of the time. I'll be in the minority but certainly don't see or treat a phone as a necessity.  You can't get a banknote out of your sky rocket with a phone in your hand. It's become a source of dopamine for many. It's an addiction for many. They're an easy target for thieves. They're a godsend to cyber fraudsters who are stealing billions and are doing so without the need of cash points.
