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

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
