Considering moving close to Stillness Infant School in Forest Hill/Honor Oak and would appreciate any feedback from parents of children there.


Ofsted rating is outstanding and KS2 results are great - but I know from experience (mine and others) that nothing beats feedback/recommendations from parents.


Many thanks,

BC

Thanks Vez. That's very reassuring. I've also heard back from a couple of parents who are happy with the school.


My little one will also be in reception next year which is why we're starting to think of schools. I will also post on SE23.


Thanks again

Glad to hear you've looked around and loved it, born&brED. We have to make a decision this week and I haven't had a chance to view it and can't view this week as it's half-term:-o


My eldest is also due to join reception in Sept 2014. How time flies!

Hi - I have lots of friends with children at Stillness Infants who are really happy with it. It does seem a lovely school. The one thing I would say about the set up is to make sure that, unless you're planning on moving or going private at seven you are happy with the Juniors as well.

I'm not saying that because I know anything bad about Stillness Juniors (all I know about it is that it is very separate, though at least admissions are linked), but as a mum of a nearly-six year old I am amazed at how fast children move from infants to juniors.

It seems only minutes ago that I was looking at schools for my tiny daughter, but she goes up into year 2 this September and then will be in juniors the year after that, which seems extraordinary.

She's at Dalmain though, so it is only a matter of 'going upstairs' rather than changing school altogether. I quite like the fact she has the juniors around to look up to, as well - but they did seem rather huge when she first started! Good luck

    • That's the milquetoast triangulation that's delivered so much electoral success to the Lib Dems locally and nationally! 🤣
    • Amazing. Now could you cut and paste an AI summary of the defence case for Andrew M-W? 
    • I would like to understand this promise by the Greens in greater detail and how it applies locally? Presumably road/pavement upkeep and renewal is as important for cyclists and pedestrians as motorists? I am not aware of plans to build new roads locally but there has been plenty of money spent on converting roads into pedestrian only areas. On the face of it this feels a slightly empty statement, when applied at local level. I'd love to know the Greens stance in hiring out parks for private use (given impact on park environment), I'd also like to understand their stance on fireworks- I will look to see if I can find anything. I don't know if a manifesto exists under the documents section of Southwark Greens, but you can only access that bit by signing in- which is disappointing. If anyone has a manifesto that reflects local priorities- could they post a link?
    • You are most likely correct in thinking that  Kinnock, Blair, Brown, Starmer et all knew it.  But they obviously thought that his skills, abilities and usefulness far outweighed the negatives. Here is a summary of the positives lifted from elsewhere:-   1. Strategic Architect: He was a primary architect of "New Labour," rebranding the party and shifting its core ideology to win the 1997 general election. 2 Master of Communication: Often called the original "spin doctor," he revolutionised how political parties manage the media. He famously created the "grid" system to coordinate government messaging. 3 Networking and Charm: Known as "Silvertongue," he possesses a peerless ability to charm and network with high-level global figures, including business leaders and heads of state. 4. Governance and Trade Expertise: Beyond strategy, he was considered a highly efficient minister, serving as European Commissioner for Trade and Secretary of State across multiple departments, including Business and Northern Ireland.  5. Reinvention: His capacity to adapt to changing political climates and rebuild relationships reflects personal resilience and strategic flexibility. With his skill and abilities, he delivered results for all his bosses. In the short time in Washington, he found a way to get on the right side of Trump - despite him  being critical of Trump in previous years. That said he is complex personality.  He can be simultaneously brilliant and arrogant, thick-skinned yet sensitive, and selfless for his party while appearing narcissistic in his personal dealings.  My OP asked if he would be accepted over the pond. It turned out he was because he got on famously with trump. He worked out the correct strategy to get on the good side of Trump and secured a better trade deal than the EU and other nations.
