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

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
