P13 directly or Bus to Peckham Rye, Honor Oak Park or Forest Hill, then ELL to New Cross, then it is about 5 minutes walk from the school


or bus to Peckham and another bus along the high road towards New Cross. It's very close to Haberdasher's Aske.

It baffles me how a shiny new school can bring in the punters.


Have a look at Deptford Green's website. It's very difficult to find their GCSE results? Or is it just me. Last year they had 48% of students collect 5 A*-C including English and Maths, and this year....I can't find it. This was very much in the lower half of the results of Lewisham schools. In their prospectus they use the mean score of every two years GCSE results in order to deceptively show continual progress, when actually their results have been up and down for the last 8 years. This prospectus also only contains a projected result for 2012, when it's unlikely they were printed before the results came out.


Their prospectus lists the last OFSTED as the subject specific OFSTED for Art, in which they got an outstanding. This isn't an OFSTED worth noting. It then glosses over their last whole school OFSTED, without mentioning the grade and directing you to OFSTED report, which points out their satisfactory status.


These are the things to look for and the school is making it more difficult than it should be to find this information.

Are individual children happy there? How do the results compare with the baseline scores of the intake? Can a high achieving child enjoy their education and do well whatever the average and despite being above it? Is there good pastoral care? Do children that need more support egt it and do well according to their own potential?


Word of mouth sometimes tels a better story than statistics which are geared towards a certain average and which are commonly misunderstood.


I know nothing about Deptford Green, but I'm not convinced by the insistence in the material you are so set on, eco79.


The DoE website gives all the facts, including some of the more important contextual ones.


Plus - the thread asks for advice on how to get there! You will be aware, perhaps, that many famillies have few choices wrt to available places in schools. What do you mean by 'pulling in punters'?

Visited today....thought it was fantastic with a very impressive head.


Really recommend anyone who needs reassurance or another choice to put down.


They have their last open morning tommorrow if you can make-it.


People are being offered it this year as it has only just moved into its new build and so lots of parents were put off by the porta cabins last year.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
