Hi


I am applying for primary school and I am thinking of putting Goodrich as a first choice. I don't know anybody with children at this school and would appreciate opinions from people with children attending this school; what's the school like? does the school have any sport and music provision? what's the teaching and teachers like?


Goodrich is our closest school with Heber being the second and Harrys third. I am concerned about the outdoor space for Heber and Harrys. If you have children at these schools could you please let me know if you/your child find this to be an issue. My child likes open spaces and hates crowds. Also, is there any sport and music provision at these schools?


What about extra curricular clubs/activities?



Thank you

We have just left Goodrich to move abroad, after a 5.5 year association with the school - my children were years 5, 4 and reception.


Sport and music at the school are outstanding. There is an amazing dedicated PE teacher who the kids love, and also additional sporting after/before school clubs.


Likewise, music at the school is brilliant. They have three music teachers, all excellent, and in the more senior classes they are given fantastic opportunities as part of the choir, if they are so inclined. My two older children got to sing at the VSO Carols Concert at Westminster just before the end of term, Goodrich were the only school involved!


My kids were all very happy there, the teaching is of a high standard.

    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
    • Just be careful to know exactly what they cover and the limits. i use Many Pets and Medivet, as I think one of the vets is exceptionally good. Some of the NHV are, but I’ve had a couple I’ve not liked at all.  I need consistency and to feel that they actually care more about the animals than the money.
