Hi,


Thought this might be useful to post. Might be worth updating later for this years round.


Charter ED went to


1400m in 2016 (not on the common admissions form and far from being built).


850m went to 950m ish in 2017 (with 120 kids. It will be 180 this time but probably more popular as closer to being built?).


Charter Red post hill

2017 1000m ish



Charter Red Post Hill's reputation is well known. Having spoken to parents from lots of different schools the quality of teaching and learning at Charter ED seems outstanding, possibly due to having a good recruitment pool as teachers see the career potential of an expanding school.

Hope this is helpful.

Hi Jamjars


That's useful information (well maybe not useful as we are now playing the waiting game but certainly interesting) - Thanks.


I think you are right in that more people will have put it down as a first choice this year and all of the parents there that I have spoken to there seem very happy with it. I guess there is probably going to be quite a high number of siblings this year too as a two year age gap is quite common.


Anyway we shall see. March 1st not close enough to be getting 'nervous' as such just yet but it's always at the back of my mind, living around 900m away. Thanks for the information.

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder
