Dear parents,

For those making their applications for reception place Sept 2011, looking for a nursery or concerned about their child's current primary school and considering other options, Goose Green primary and nursery school will be holding an open morning on Monday 4th October.


There will be a tour of the whole school conducted by the headteacher Mrs Marland after which you are invited to join in the PTA coffee morning and speak to those of us with children already at the school.


Goose Green came out of special measures in the last academic year. It is our intention to become an outstanding school and an experienced, dynamic and cohesive teaching staff, strong board of governers, enthusiastic parents and delightful children are working hard to achieve that goal.


Last year we had more parents put the school as their No1 choice for a reception place than ever before. The children also achieved the school's best ever SATS results which we understand to be 10th highest in the whole of Southwark.


We are very proud of our school and invite you to come and have a look at a school that is well and truly on the up


No need to reserve a place, just come to the school gates on Tintagel Crescent about 9.15 and come through to the office.


Hope to see you there

Dear all,


just a quick reminder that this event will take place next Monday.


If you can't make it but would like to visit, there are tours/PTA coffee mornings on the first Monday of every month so still chances to visit before deadline for primary applications.


We do appreciate that this makes it hard for working parents to come and have a look around but feel that it is important to see the school during its working day. If you can never come on a Monday call the office to enquire about making an alternative appointment or PM me (I'm a mum with 2 children at the school; nursery and year 1) and/or look at our website www.goosegreenprimaryschool.org.uk.


In the last couple of years our intake has included children living off Lordship Lane, East Dulwich Grove and Grove Vale as well as The Gardens, Barry Road and Bellenden area. Of course this is only a rough guide, catchment changes every year.

The PTA were delighted to see so many of you lovely parents on today's tour. We do hope that you found it interesting and useful.

For those who couldn't make it, the next tour will be a Monday in early November (will post the date here in due course)

Alternatively please feel free to PM us with any queries or comments


Thanks

Hi, I can't believe I missed the Open Day at Goose Green. Do you know if there is another one coming up? I'm happy the school is moving in a positive direction as growing up, this school was notoriously bad. I'm hoping with the increasing number of affluent families moving into Dulwich, this school will change. I might come along to a coffee morning if ou could let me know when the next one is please?

Thanks

    • Direct link to joint statement : https://thehaguegroup.org/meetings-bogota-en/?link_id=2&can_id=2d0a0048aad3d4915e3e761ac87ffe47&source=email-pi-briefing-no-26-the-bogota-breakthrough&email_referrer=email_2819587&email_subject=pi-briefing-no-26-the-bogot_-breakthrough&&   No. 26 | The Bogotá Breakthrough “The era of impunity is over.” That was the message from Bogotá, Colombia, where governments from across the Global South and beyond took the most ambitious coordinated action since Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza began 21 months ago. Convened by The Hague Group and co-chaired by the governments of Colombia and South Africa, the Emergency Conference on Palestine brought together 30 states for two days of intensive deliberation — and emerged with a concrete, coordinated six-point plan to restrain Israel’s war machine and uphold international law. States took up the call from their host, Colombian President and Progressive International Council Member Gustavo Petro, who had urged them to be “protagonists together.” Twelve governments signed onto the measures immediately. The rest now have a deadline: 20 September 2025, on the eve of the United Nations General Assembly. The unprecedented six measures commit states to:     Prevent military and dual use exports to Israel.     Refuse Israeli weapons transfers at their ports.     Prevent vessels carrying weapons to Israel under their national flags.     Review all public contracts to prevent public institutions and funds from supporting Israel’s illegal occupation.     Pursue justice for international crimes.     Support universal jurisdiction to hold perpetrators accountable. “We came to Bogotá to make history — and we did,” said Colombian President Gustavo Petro. “Together, we have begun the work of ending the era of impunity. These measures show that we will no longer allow international law to be treated as optional, or Palestinian life as disposable.” The measures are not symbolic. They are grounded in binding obligations under international law — including the International Court of Justice’s July 2024 advisory opinion declaring Israel’s occupation unlawful, and September 2024’s UN General Assembly Resolution ES-10/24, which gave states a 12-month deadline to act. UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese called them “a momentous step forward.” “The Hague Group was born to advance international law in an era of impunity,” said South Africa’s Foreign Minister, Ronald Lamola. “The measures adopted in Bogotá show that we are serious — and that coordinated state action is possible.” The response from Washington was swift — and revealing. In a threatening statement to journalists, a US State Department spokesperson accused The Hague Group of “seeking to isolate Israel” and warned that the US would “aggressively defend our interests, our military, and our allies, including Israel, from such coordinated legal and diplomatic” actions. But instead of deterring action, the threats have only clarified the stakes. In Bogotá, states did not flinch. They acted — and they invite the world to join them. The deadline for further states to take up the measures is now two months away. And with it, the pressure is mounting for governments across the world — from Brazil to Ireland, Chile to Spain — to match words with action. As Albanese said, “the clock is now ticking for states — from Europe to the Arab world and beyond — to join them.” This is not a moment to observe. It is a moment to act. Share the Joint Statement from Bogotá and popularise the six measures. Write to your elected representative and your government and demand they sign on before 20 September. History was made in Bogotá. Now, it’s up to all of us to ensure it becomes reality, that Palestinian life is not disposable and international law is not optional. The era of impunity is coming to an end. Palestine is not alone. In solidarity, The Progressive International Secretariat  
    • Most countries charge for entry to museums and galleries, often a different rate for locals (tax payers) and foreign nationals. The National Gallery could do this, also places like the Museums in South Kensington, the British Library and other tax-funded institutions. Many cities abroad add a tourist tax to hotel bills. It means tourists help pay for public services.
