Hi


We are thinking we will probably send our little girl to SHS next year and were just interested, if any parents are on this forum, what they think of the school - we loved it when we went around - seemed lovely, a personal, friendly school, academic but not pushy. Thanks for your time if you do respond...

Our little girl started reception at shs this year. It wasn't our first choice, and we had some doubts. But she absolutely loves it, and is very happy when I pick her up, even after a long day. I haven't actually seen her so happy anywhere. She has in the short time there achieved two big milestones (for her) and has become much better behaved at home. She is pushed well within her capability, which i find really clever, as it makes her feel excited and empowered, not just overwhelmed. I was always impressed when looking around schools with how confident, happy, and independent the shs girls seemed, and how quiet and concentrated the reception children were there. I have been impressed with the teachers and structure of the school so far, and find it spatious, airy and light. I thought some other schools were really dark and chaotic in comparison. Also, there are only 10 girls in her class!

I like the idea of a man being head teacher in a girls school, primary education seems so dominated by women. I think he will make some positive changes and improvements to the school.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
