Goose Green Primary School Celebrates

[goosemum]

Congratulations to all the staff and pupils at Goose Green Primary and Nursery School for coming out of Special Measures. The news is unofficial until OFSTED publish their report, but this is excellent news and I am sure the school would like to thank everyone in the local community who continues to support this wonderful local school.

This is brilliant news. My daughter is at nursery there and we are so impressed with the whole team- they have a lovely manner and are really dedicated to improving the school as far as I can see.

Brilliant news for ED!

[mrs.lotte]

The head, teachers and pupils have worked so hard they really deserve this. As a parent of a child thriving at this school I am delighted. prdarling; you hit the nail on the head, this isn't just good news for GG but for the whole of ED to have another great school for our children and we are looking onward and upward; there will be a new Sure Start building on site which will provide resources for pre school children and their families. Watch this space - we are on the up.

Come and celebrate and show your support at our carnival and fair on 10th July on Goose Green which is always an expression of pride but will be extra special this year.

Thank you to all the posters on this thread. ED - we are feeling the love!!

I am extremely proud of the children, teachers and parents who dedicate their time and energy into improving and believing in our school. Congratulations!!! Let's continue the great work! Well done to all at Goose Green and here's to better times ahead!!

Well done to everyone involved in this. As said above this really is good news for those at the school and also for East Dulwich as a whole. Hopefully now next year parents living in the surrounding roads will happily put GG as their top prefernce on those applications.

I just got back late last night from a trip to Amsterdam. It was a working trip to meet up international partners of a project I'm involved with around youth engagement in leadership and also, I took part in a Deep Democracy conflict resolution training course!. Anyway, much we were discussed at our meeting and workshop was about needing to come together as communities - both internationally AND in specific locality. So it was wonderful to come back and find out this news about my son's school which feels like a wonderful case study in community building - and wonderful to see the forum full of congratulations from others in the area. Wonderful!

Well done everyone at GG! Impressive staff and parents committee = impressive results! Our son is looking forward to going there in the new year.

My son has been at Goose Green for almost three years now, loves his school, his teachers and his friends there, and is doing really well.

I'm totally delighted that we are out of OFSTED special measures, however, just want to say that a lot of kids were actually happy and doing well when the school went into special measures and during the two years we were in - so don't judge a school just by that label (and of course I don't mean to say there weren't things that needed improving and attention and I'm very happy that was picked up and actioned).

Hope you'll all come down to Goose Green on Saturday 10th July to celebrate with us!

Well done indeed. Having been out of special measures for well over a year (as can be seen from the start date of this thread) Goose Green school has seen it's 3rd year on year rise in sats results putting it well above most local schools last year and with even better results this.
