I am fortunate enough to have a child that attends Goose Green Primary School, the live lessons that the school have been running for all children are absolutely amazing. Especially considering the short space of time they have had to set these up.


Speaking to other parents of children in the local area, it appears that other schools are not providing the same level of assistance to parents and children at home and this should be celebrated.


Well done to Simon Wattam, Kirsty White, Louise Partridge and all of the staff at Goose Green Primary School for their hard work and dedication to the educational needs of all the children in our school community.

A first time poster who has not checked in to the forum since posting this galling post!

My kids? school is fantastic, offers daily online lessons and teachers are working very hard, for which I am very grateful. And the school is not Goose Green ( although I am sure they are doing a great job too). Rest assured that other schools also provide a fab service!

I have been on the East Dulwich forum for years. I have lived in East Dulwich since the early 90s fully support everything the local community does.

I check in on the posts/threads on my phone - may explain why it shows I haven't been online - but rest assured I am on here at least several times a week.


I have noticed that so many people seem to find fault with everything and I wanted to make sure I thanked my child's school as schools seem to be forgotten during this pandemic

There is absolutely nothing wrong with praising and giving positive reinforcements. My child has personally started goose green this term and although my son has not been able to attend in person. The online classes that they are providing is excellent via google classrooms. The previous school my child went to did not have no where as much interaction online and did not buy into much software to encourage the children?s learning at home. They have live lessons and also give the children a opportunity to speak with teachers if they don?t understand something. They timetable your child?s day according to what the children are learning at school. They have offers laptops for disadvantage children. My child has had video chats with his new teacher, they have offered breakfast boxes regardless of whether your entitled to fsm or not. That In my opinion is a true dedication to focus on the children?s education during this pandemic. It?s not to say Some other schools aren?t providing that however there are many not providing this. Positivity is always good and acknowledgement is always good! Well done goose green.

    • Which is why I was careful to specify "the true definition"! A bit like "dilemma", generally used for any tricky decisions but should really be where there are only two options, both with equally bad outcomes...
    • I raise your pedantry. Language evolves and Merriam Webster gives the meaning as "drastically reduced especially in number." The word originally derived from the Roman practice of killing every tenth soldier in a mutinous army but I'm sure nobody uses the word in that context now.
    • Thanks all for the replies.  When the roofer come to look at the roof more recently,  there were holes in the felt in the same place that the original leak had been,  as well as where the new leak is.  There doesn't seem to be a reason why a hole the the felt was the cause of one leak and not the other.  It would have been good to have got everything sorted at the same time,  rather than having to put scaffolding up again.  But my main issue is around the vagueness of a 10 year guarantee.  After work was done the first time,  the roofer gave us a summary of the work and just wrote '10 Yr guarantee' after, without specifying what exactly that means.   If a roofer comes and doesn't diagnose the problem quite right (which i imagine is common with roofs, given it's not always clear what's causing a leak), the guarantee doesn't seem to apply. But anyway,  we'll be getting a different roofer, because we think he should have checked the felt under the tiles the first time round.  
    • We used to feed the birds, but once the parakeets discovered this they just took over, scaring away all the other species and eating everything in sight. I tried scaring them away with a Nerf gun, but they just didn't care. I know it will open a can of worms (no pun intended) but I really think  the parakeet population needs to be reduced; yes they are pretty, but they are just like a plague of locusts when it comes to food supplies.  PS apologies for pedantry @malumbu but the true definition of "decimate" is to reduce by a tenth... 🫤
