We went to the open evening tonight and really liked the ethos of the school and the staff we met. We were impressed with the small group teaching too. Reading up on it afterwards, I see it's in Special Measures, which may well be a good thing right now. I remember parents on here with kids that ended up there last year and the year before. Does anyone have a parent's perspective on Deptford Green to share?

My neighbours son started there last Sept and really like it. They were surprised by the school going into special measures, but say it is on a v minor thing (something to do with maths results) that hasn't had s big effect on their son(who is on the G&T programme).


Get the feeling that being that rare thing (a co-ed LA comp) there is pressure to try & make it an academy, thus special measures being quickly applied.

I'd love to know more about the G&T programme. They invited parents to book individual tours any time so we're going to do that (look and learn, Harris Crystal Palace, with your one hellish open evening) but obviously good to hear from other parents. There was one very passionate parent who spoke during the presentation at the school, which was a nice touch.

My friend's son started there this Sept and has settled in very well. He is G & T in Maths.


They went into special measures and I think she said it was the Maths results (think the whole dept had been fired the year before) and also there was mention of bullying which the students were not allowed to report.

    • Gosh, calm down.. How about not getting so heated, and not eat for 24 hours with sips of water? Try it and you may, just may understand, starvation, no water. No meds at all even if you need them - hasten to add, don’t do it at all if you are medically dependent. In fact, why doesn’t ED - do this for half a day - say in Oct, when everyone has come back from enjoying their, hols, new term starting and as a community, we could all be 1.? Before, November, fireworks, etc.                    
    • Many thanks I have sent them a message  
    • Stop foreign aid spend and re-direct those funds to improve the lives of UK citizens.  People shouldn't have to rely on charities and food banks, their is enough food wasted in this country already which could be re-directed.  Let their own Govts feed them, why does the UK have to do it, how about other nations contributing.  Well if aid can't reach them, how are they supposed to be fed if as you say food parcels being dropped from planes doesn't work.  Lets sort out this country first and put UK citizens first for a change.   
    • Well that really is not Christian Spirit at all - we all live in this world and yes, totally agree that it would be wonderful to have no conflict in the world but that is not possible. Yes we have people in need of food  in this country but overall enough charities and organisation in the west to help. We are talking about thousands of people who are starving - not just going hungry - a huge difference would you not agree ? Aid can’t reach people - for whatever conflict and don’t think people dropping parcels, boxes etc from planes would be the answer either.
