Dear all,


If you are looking for a 2013 reception place, nursery place, unhappy with your child's current school or simply curious as to what the fuss is all about, come along to a tour of the school on Tuesday 6th November shortly after 9am.


There is no need to book, just turn up at the gates on Tintagel Crescent where you will be met by a member of the senior leadership staff and shown the whole school from nursery to Y6, the art and music rooms, new kitchen and refurbished playground where hopefully our new apple trees have arrived!


You are of course welcome to bring children with you but be warned, it is a beautiful listed Victorian building with lots of stairs so not buggy friendly.


There will be parents of current pupils on hand after the tour to answer your questions and share their experiences over a cup of tea and a biscuit.


For those 50 odd parents who came to the last tour please accept our apologies that the usual PTA presence wasn't available. A combination of new PTA Chairs and new term meant that we just hadn't got into the swing of things but are back on form now.


Please feel free to PM if you have any questions and we will do our best to answer them.


Kind Regards


GGPTA

I'll be there as well (son in year 3) to chat over tea/coffee and if any prospective parents are interested, I'm happy to show people our wildlife garden area which I'm very proud of.


A new addition to the environmental education at the school is the partnership with the London Orchard Project (http://thelondonorchardproject.org/what-we-do) - next Friday they & our school gardener will facilitating the children to plant 12 apple/plum trees in huge planters on either side of the front entrance to the school. One of the trees that will be planted will be one of the new varietity for London that the Orchard Project have developed. The Orchard Project are looking for suggestions for a name for this new variety so if you have a great name, tweet it to us at @ggprimaryschool and we will pass it on to them!

Fantastic to see so very many people on today's tour, we do hope that you enjoyed seeing our school. Most of you were able to stay for the coffee and chat with parents afterwards but there were so many of you that we are sorry that we didn't get a chance to speak to everyone.


If you have any questions or general feedback to pass on then do send a private message and we'll do what we can to address your questions or comments.


Good luck with the application process!

Dear all,


Thank you for your feedback, delighted to hear that so many of you liked our school.


One piece of feedback was that because it was so busy it was rather hectic.


I fed this back to the Headteacher this morning who had already had a meeting about that and it has been decided that future tours will not be limited in total numbers but split into groups of 10 they will start at 9.15 and latecomers will be disappointed!


Next tour 11/12/12

Edited to reflect change of date from 4/12 to 11/11

    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
    • Best you post when you have an idea of dates  - waste  of everyone’s time
    • Hi there,  Looking for 10-12 jars (to start with) of local honey to fill a small section of a deli space in my work canteen. Please get in touch if you know of any community projects/small scale productions Cheers
    • Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
