Sanne Pannne you seem to have mixed the way you have mentioned Ofsted scores here. For those who are unfamiliar - a 1 rating is Outstanding (such as Fairlawn); 2 good; 3 satisfactory; and, 4 inadequate.

Dear all,


For those applying for a 2012 reception place come and have a look for yourself why so many parents are so very happy with Goose Green. The school will be having its monthly open day this coming Tuesday (6th December). Whilst it is usually the first Monday of every month this has been altered for December to accomodate other Christmas related activities taking place at school. No need to book a slot just come to the reception desk shortly after 9am and the headteacher Mrs Marland will conduct a tour of the whole school from nursery to year 6 including our dedicated art and music rooms. After the tour there will be an opportunity to meet and chat to parents of children currently at the school. See you there

Fairlawn is a fabulous school. The Head has his reasons for his belief in no uniform is a great policy. You say the children are happy in the playground....think about it. Maybe the school and the children concentrate on other issues, eg education, secure and confident individuals, good social skills, team-work, great environment....if it's not broken, why fix it?????????? In other words, why make a judgement about something so irrelevant?

I'm not sure I understand your post, I think it's about whether it's a weak point that Fairlawn doesn't have uniforms. I grew up in a country where school uniforms don't exist and I'm still not quite sure what to think about them... I do think it is convenient not to have to discuss choice of clothing in the morning. But that's not the ultimate reason of course. To me it's mostly irrelevant too.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
