Congratulations to all of those allocated a place at this high achieving vibrant local school. We look forward to seeing you at the welcome meeting and thereafter in September. In the meantime if you wish to keep abreast of the goings on at the PTA you can do so by joining the mailing list; email your details to [email protected] or by PM via the forum.

There will be another open day on 1st May. There have been lots of changes in the last few months with the new kitchen in full swing, the breakfast club serving a range of hot food, extended after school club hours, a new gardening club, parent/teachers choir, refurbished annexe and gardens, beautiful mosaics all over the playground, new gates and signage and, of course, our appearance on BBC sports relief. You can keep in touch with our improvements and achievements via our website www.goosegreenprimaryschool.org which has all the past newsletters on it and much more.

A warm welcome to you all.

Our pleasure!

Do come along to the next open day I'm sure you will find it very reassuring and we always try to have PTA members on hand for a cuppa afterwards. There will probably be others whose children will be starting at the same time present for a visit or re visit.

Hope to meet you then

Yes, our PTA is really nice and welcoming - lots of ways to get involved in the school - from being involved in the PTA to helping students read to standing for parent-governor. I particularly enjoy the parent-staff choir and the weekly family gardening club (see our photos of the Big Dig event where we prepared beds for our vegetable and herb gardens and launched the family gardening club)


Anyway, I also wanted to point out the correct weblink to the school is actually http://www.goosegreenprimaryschool.org/ - it's so easy to make a mistake when typing in these links (I did that last time!). You'll find lots of useful information on the site.

Just updating this thread to extend the welcome to anyone fortunate enough to be allocated a place in the "shakedown" at this local school which is positively thriving academically and awash with fun and useful extra curricular activities for children and parents. Keep in touch with the life of the school and the PTA by looking at our website or joining our mailing list and we'll email you out a copy of our fortnightly PTA news (see details above)

Next open day 12th June.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
