Hi,


We're potentially moving to the area and I'm doing some schools research and want to find out more about Dog Kennel Hill Primary which would be our nearest local primary to a house we're looking at.


Their website is down at the moment and ofsted reports only tell you so much so I'm after views of people who have kids there or know the school- figured it was the best way to find out what it's really like before I can make a visit!


Does anyone have any first hand experience of the school- it looks good on paper? Can anyone tell me more about it- clubs, activities on offer, is there an active parent group, general feel etc?


Other potential options would be Lyndhusrt Primary which I know has great new facilities but it looks like their results have dropped quite a lot recently?


Thanks!

Hi - the website's back up now. I work there and (unsurprisingly) think it's great and recommend you come and visit us to get a feel for the school. My nephew is at Lyndhurst and he loves it there so I hope you'll be happy with whichever you choose. Feel free to PM me if you like (I'll try to be factual and not biased!)

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
