Goose Green Primary School: now a National Support School & Headteacher a National Leader of Educati


Recommended Posts

In case you missed the news about Goose Green Primary School, here it is!


Goose Green Primary & Nursery School in East Dulwich has been selected for a top role as a National Support School. Headteacher Sharron Marland has been appointed to the role of National Leader of Education after a rigorous selection process. She is one of a select few to be appointed to the role as very few headteachers and schools are selected for this prestigious designation. This builds on the success of Goose Green School's latest Ofsted inspection in 2012 which commended the leadership as being Outstanding.


Headteacher Sharron Marland said: ?'The strong Leadership team (including Governors) of Goose Green School means we can offer other schools a rounded package of support from strategic planning to improving the quality of teaching and learning whilst continuing our own successes. Parents of our children are already proud of the school and now that the National College are pleased to recommend us nationally to other schools confirms that Goose Green children are receiving a high standard of education and level of care.'


Tessa Jowell MP, visited the school on Friday 22nd May to observe our practice as a Chartered School for PHSE and congratulate the school on its success.


?Goose Green deserves all the plaudits and awards coming its way. The children are bursting with pride in their school community where excellent values are reflected in everything the children do. Motivation and aspiration are the hallmarks. My congratulations go to everyone at the school?


Maggie Farrar, Executive Director at the National College, said: ?It?s great that heads like Sharron are willing to look beyond their own school gates to help more schools and pupils achieve. They should also be proud of their role because this scheme is at the heart of our efforts to create a self-improving, school-led education system.?

It bodes really well for Goose green.

The last Ofsted report gave the leadership outstanding. The recruitment for Sharroninto this role reenforces that Ofsted reating in my mind.


Well done the whole school community.

I think you need to learn some manners personally as that is just downright rude .

And already we have had teachers from other schools visiting us to learn best practice in teaching - it is lovely as a school to be able to share the wonderful teaching and leadership practices with other schools.
My son's occupational therapist at Sunshine House told me she hadn't come across a school like GG - praised his teacher, the class, the school. She even shared info on GG with the rest of her team, and phoned me to let me know how great it was (as well as how great my boy is ha ha)
Yes, and a teacher friend of mine who moved her children into Goose Green said she was extremely impressed with the high quality of the teaching. Good to have national recognition to back up what we already knew!

A lot of people have commented on the fact that its not as diverse as the other schools and I think that makes a lot of white middle class parents uncomfortable . I think Ofsted said that over 85 percent of the pupils are from an ethnic background namely black Caribbean and African. As pointed on another thread about private/state education and connecting with people outside of their usual circle and sticking to what you know and feel comfortable with identity wise , maybe the typical family that lives in Dulwich doesn't feel comfortable with having that imbalance of ethnicity ?


Sore point ?

I think it's rather more diverse than some of the local schools not less. I'm white my husband is half Indian my children are in that percentage if we make people feel uncomfortable then I think that's a significant problem - for them.

If people are more concerned about the colour of people's skin which of course doesn't relate to social "status" anyway than the quality of education then I do hope that they are not in the playground with me or classroom with my kids.

Not a pop at you dulwichbornandbred, I think you are being honest, about time someone said why it is that some at least have overlooked the school (and other good local schools too)

Whereas for say Goodrich its says on the Ofsted report that Goodrich is much larger than most primary schools. Around half of the pupils are of White British heritage. The rest are from a range of minority ethnic groups, the largest of which are Black Caribbean and Black African. Compared to for Goose Green: Just over 85% of pupils come from a range of ethnic backgrounds other than White British: the largest groups are Black African and Black Caribbean .
Yup. The diversity stats are true. I'm white British/American/Canadian (I have three citizenships - very difficult to pigeonhole me!) and I like the diversity. Although when you look at it year by year, you can see that more white british children are joining the schools in the early years. Anyway, it means that the parents who do choose the school are more interested in quality of education and care of children than in other factors. Making it a very interesting and stimulating parent community. Yay! Way to go GG!

I know a fair few people who uses the nursery but put Heber or Goodrich for Primaries .

I am united colours of Benetton myself :) but it has been commented even by black people that its more black pupils there . I guess as its not Peckham it's a shock ! ;)

I find your comments offensive "comments by black people that its more black pupils there" guess its not Peckham! are you implying that Black has a negative impact,however,even so you should not feel so comfortable to post such dergatory comments.

Back to GG There was an article In the Peoples Reuplic of Southwark & LBS website that at a council assembly a GG parents complaint about not recieving the complaints form, see below


School bans parents - Peoples Republic of Southwark

That's not an 'article', is a very small and thinly detailed news bulletin, from February 2012. GG is an incredibly inclusive and parent-friendly school, so I don't see why you'd post that for any reason but spite.

You can take it as negative if that is the way your mind is inclined to think .

They took it as imbalanced .

You can take it up with them if you , I would gladly point you in their direction.

    • 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
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
