Hi @Dondee, Goose Green has come a very long way and you can see our recent Ofsted report here: https://www.goosegreenprimaryschool.org/school-information/ofsted. Ofsted have confirmed that Goose Green is a GOOD school and children are achieving good outcomes.


In their report Ofsted highlighted that:


?Goose Green Primary School is a safe, happy place where pupils achieve well and become confident, respectful citizens.?


?Leaders have put together careful plans to make sure that pupils achieve well in a wide range of subjects.?


?Leaders have high expectations and plans are ambitious. Teachers try their best to make lessons enjoyable and interesting. Pupils enjoy topics which are planned around well-chosen children?s literature.?


We'd love to answer any questions you have about our wonderful school and would be delighted to welcome you and your child into our school community in September. Do please get in touch with the school office and we'll follow up.


With very best wishes, Rob (chair of governors)

Hi Dondee - I have a daughter in year 6 at Goose Green and my other daughter will be starting in reception in September. We love the school - my daughter has been really happy there. The staff are all so caring and it has a lovely family feel. It had a tough few years with no permanent head but things have really improved since the new head started. I think we?re really luck in ED to have lots of good primaries and I know it?s disappointing when you don?t get any of your choices but I?d really encourage you to visit (when you can) and see GG in action. From a personal pony of view I?ve also made some wonderful friends as a parent there!!

Hi Dondee,


I have two daughters at Goose Green and they both love it - thriving both academically and socially. We're really happy with the school, I wouldn't send them anywhere else! The school has a great atmosphere, a lovely set of talented teachers and a broad curriculum. The Head is excellent. If you're into OFSTED, the school just had a good inspection before Christmas.


I have friends with children about to go into reception who put Goose Green as their first choice - if you've been offered a place I would recommend you take it. Shame you can't go and look around at the moment but hopefully schools will reopen before the summer holidays and you'll get a chance.

Hi.

We have 3 children at Goose Green Primary. They have never had a day of not wanting to go and have always spoken fondly of the school. The early years are superb and provide a brilliant grounding for learning and social skills as the children grow and develop. We like the broad demographic and rich sense of community.

The head is great and has a lovely team of staff. I highly recommend you go and visit as and when it reopens and if you can speak to the staff or governors in the mean time that is likely to put your mind at rest.

My daughter is in yr.6 at Goose Green. She has always been extremely happy there and has made a fantastic group of friends, as have we. True, there were some bumps along the way at the beginning of her time there,but they have more than been ironed out and the school has received an extremely positive Ofsted review recently. The head and governors gibe great leadership and support. The staff are encouraging, nurturing and inspiring. The curriculum is varied and engaging. There is a wonderful community feel. I would highly recommend you visit when you can, but meantime, as others have suggested, do contact the school/governors with any immediate concerns.

Just echoing what the other parents above have said really. I have a daughter in Yr 2. She loves Goose Green and so do we. Ever since she started in Reception she's been happy and is thriving. The teachers and all the staff are warm and passionate and care greatly about the pupils and school community. It's a smaller school, just 2 form entry, and we really like the more personal & creative feel of it. We feel really lucky to be part of such a lovely school and the community that comes with it. Wrap around care is also excellent with brilliant and caring staff. Please do feel free to PM if you have any questions.

Best Wishes

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By malumbu · Posted

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Dell Autos is closing tomorrow

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
