Hello there, as some may know the reception schools admissions deadline is fast approaching. We already have our top 3 choices (Belham, Bellenden, SJSC mainly because of location and our feel) but haven't had a chance to visit Goose Green and Dog Kennel Hill Primary school yet which would make up the rest of our spots. What are your experiences on either school and would you recommend? Hoping our child will get into the top 3 but you never know... Many thanks.
We really liked Goose Green when we visited last year, the new head is great and the parents we spoke to are very positive about the school and the changes they've seen. There are some active parents from Goose Green on the forum and I'm sure they'll weigh in. We placed it above SJSC and Bellenden in our choices, but got into our first choice (Belham) which our son loves. Good luck wherever you choose.
Our children have attended Goose Green since 2014 and we couldn't be happier. We are really involved in the school community and, by lucky coincidence, I will be helping host the prospective parent teas after the school tour this coming Tuesday at 9am. I couldn't recommend coming on the tour enough - it's the perfect opportunity to meet Simon the Head and chat with current parents. Only then will you get a true feel for the school. Hopefully see you there!

Hello ksh, just to say a belated thanks for your email, great to hear your experience is so positive! Yes we are definitely visiting on Tuesday morning, i?ll Be sure to pop by the refreshments table and say hello. Nice they are putting on refreshments!


Many thanks,


Martina

    • Like I said, the measure is needed but its badly thought through  Most people who become or are disabled don't choose it (i certainly didn't)  and often want to work but being disabled often adds costs to daily living so PIP is a valuable life line and carers are often taking strain of community support services so we can't begrudge their modest allowance.  I'm simply advocating that the vote on Tuesday is withdrawn until its properly consulted on and thought through.  Out of curiosity Angelina and Alice are either of you disabled or are you posting from a privileged point of view in life??  
    • Hi Marc   Could I message you too? I'm becoming so frustrated. The last straw is the lack of working barriers, for months now, that they didn't bother to sort before summer now leading to mega queues. So foreseeable.
    • It isn't a blanket removal of support though is it. It's changing the criteria, so that those who need the support get it and those who need other support get that.      
    • There is a continuum of needs, so I think referring to everybody who claims PIP atm as the ‘most vulnerable’ in society is highly misleading.
