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.

    • 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
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
