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.

    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA! 
    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • 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?)
