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.
