Hello


My son is due to start school in September and has a place at Goodrich. Other than the letter asking us to come along and register him, and a form to fill in for free school meals, I have had no further contact from them.


Has anyone else received any further info i.e. start dates and settling in arrangements and uniform requirements? I rang the school today to check I wasn't missing any letters and they broke up yesterday!

We got a letter yesterday, our daughter is in the nursery there. I think the letters had just been printed, so perhaps you will get yours in the post shortly.


You should have received a phone call regarding a home visit? These are taking place in the first week of term, with the reception children starting over the course of the following week. I seem to remember with my son (who has been in reception this year) we didn't find out his start date until the home visit.


Did you go to the reception open day a couple of weeks ago and find out what class he is in?

I think the open day info was on the initial letter asking for proof of address etc., there were people there that didn't have a current connection with the school so it must have been communicated externally. I'm sure you will hear from them! If not, reception starts the week of 10th Sept and school is back on 5th Sept, so give them a call.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
