Does anyone know what the situation is on college road? Everyone parks slightly up on the pavement there when going to the DC sports club. I've wondered a few times if I'll come out to find a ticket but don't want to park against the curb and have my car sticking out way past everyone elses! I'm sure there was a thread on here before about someone else who got a ticket parking the same way on strakers road

James please get your facts right before you post on a public forum. The current head started in early October, albeit part time initially and a second interim head was appointed to job share for the initial period. Both of them have worked in various schools accross London, employed specifically to go into those schools and raise standards. Therefore I would think they are pretty well qualified to comment on the standards of the school when they first arrive. How many times have you visited Goodrich and spoken to staff, parents and pupils since October? And how often had you done this prior to the new head starting? If you have visited both before and after then you will surely have been able to see for yourself what a different place Goodrich is now? If not then let me tell you that there have been incredible changes, all of which have happened since the new head started. Even just the physical appearance of the school is wholly different with new carpets, floors, play and learning equipment, astroturf playground area, benches, plants, work displays etc. Both of my children have benefited from new learning initiatives which were not in place before and a more focused approach to learning and development. Communication is also vastly improved. I think we'd all have a lot more respect for southwark council if they just held their hands up and admitted that they failed the school community by not taking any positive aaction to improve the previous regime. Instead you seem to be engaging in petty semantics and distortion of the facts to try and support your lack of action. I'm afraid your points about the errors in the report that the school didn't spot come accross as a petty attempt to cast the current management in a negative light, without seeming to have any other purpose. You can cast around all you like for reasons not to attribute the great improvements to the new head, but those of us who are part of the school community can all assure you that they are. As somebody has already said, this is the education and future of our children. I wonder what your feelings would be if it were your children at the school.
