Please can anyone tell me their views on Goodrich School. My child who will be just 4 in September has just been offered a place. We wanted Heber and I am not sure whether to go on the waiting list rather than send him to Goodrich. I haven't heard any good reports about Goodrich recently and it is so big! Please let me know some views. Thanks

Hi sharls. Our daughter is in yr 1 at Goodrich and loves it. The reception classes have a separate outdoor space whic is good and the head of early years (ms collinson?) came with a good reputation last year and seems pretty dynamic from what I can tell. School isn't perfect (communication needs to improve) but the community aspect is excellent and we're very happy that our daughter is there. Sure they'd be happy for you to visit. Pm me if any questions
I have children in year 1 and reception and we are very happy with the school. The kids love both the school and their teachers and are doing brilliantly. I was initially worried about the size, particularly as my eldest has never been confident in social situations and my own primary school had only about 15 pupils in each year, but I have no issues with it at all now. I don't really think that having 90 pupils to a year could be more daunting to a four year old than 60 and the size means that the school is able to offer a great range of after school clubs and that there are a large number of very involved, committed parents.
My son (Year 1) is also really enjoying Goodrich. It's got a lovely atmosphere, kids seem happy, there's loads going on, lots of committed parents, and he has made great progress. I also worried about the size, but they separate years at playtime and for assemblies so it doesn't feel so huge for them. It gives kids l a lot of choice of children to play with! I'm really contented with the school and more importantly so is my son.
Have to concur with the previous posts. I also have one Year 1 - and another in the nursery. We are very happy with the school. There are 120 kids in Year 1 because that was the year Goodrich took a "bulge" class" and yet the school still seems to have a very happy, community feel. Each drop off or pick up if a happy and friendly event. Been to my son's Year 1 parent's consultaion this evening and he is progressing well. His class group are genuinely a lovely bunch of kids.

    • Maybe if you indicated what you were reviewing, pub, gastro pub, high-end gourmet, local Italian etc. - whatever classifications you wanted, then you need only indicate that your stars referred to overall quality in that category. So it it's pub grub then 5 stars means it's great pub grub, but not the same experience as 5 stars in a high end gourmet category. Your star system could then include implicitly value for money as well. 
    • Does OP know they can sell everything but alcohol even without a license?😄
    • Thanks, it's a real dilemma whether to do star ratings. A few people have asked me to do them but I've tried to resist as they are too reductive - people will look at them and won't read review! and they are difficult too - my last review of Victoria Inn, i'd give it five stars for value for money - how can you knock two courses for £18? – but 2 stars for quality - edible but nothing special. Which I guess is why some sites give star ratings for different things...
    • ok - Jeremy himself is against mandatory vaccines. Is he as extreme as his brother? No? Is it fair to discuss how the overall view of that family would inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic? I would argue very much so
