Dear all,


I am looking for a school place in east dulwich for my daughter. The most accessible school in terms of catchment area is the green goose.


I was wondering what people were thinking of the school? I am particularly interested in testimonies from existing parents.


Many thanks in advance

I have children in Y2 and Y4, they love school and are thriving. The school is a national support school (ie considered so good that it mentors less successful schools). It is ambitious, nurturing, friendly and vibrant. There is an open morning on Tuesday 5th, come and see for yourself. There are usually parents of current students on hand to chat after the tour.

What year group are you hoping to join?

I'm very happy with the school - my son is in year 4 and doing very well. In addition to the strong academics at the school, I'm particuarly pleased that his talent in art and music is recognised and able to be developed by a full-time art teacher (a art school graduate) and full-time music teacher (practicing musician and graduate of trinity college of music)


There is a tour for prospective parents tomorrow morning - Tuesday 5th November. Come to the school by 9:15am (prompt start so come early if you can). After the tour, prospective parents can meet existing parents over tea and coffee and get a parents persepective on the school.

    • This may be somewhat out of date but virtually no environmental benefit & almost entirely grass... really? https://www.gigl.org.uk/sinc/sobi09/ Description Peckham Rye was established as an open space in the late 19th century and includes several valuable habitat features spread across the park. The park is a Grade II Listed landscape, and has recently been restored with assistance from the Heritage Lottery Fund. A small community garden within the site is managed by the Friends of Peckham Rye. Peckham Rye Park won a Green Flag Award again for 2022. The site is used by the Southwark Health Walks project as part of a Walking the Way to Health (WHI) scheme. Wildlife This large park has several valuable habitat features. The most important of these is the only remaining above-ground section of the River Peck and the most natural stream in the borough. The stream is heavily shaded by native, unmanaged wet woodland dominated by alder, ash and pedunculated oak with a ground cover of pendulous sedge and bramble. Alder dominated woodland is a rare habitat in Southwark. Although somewhat altered with weirs, other artificial structures and ornamental planting, some sections are still in their natural banks and includes yellow flag, watercress, water figwort and cuckooflower. The largest of three ponds supports marginal vegetation including hemp agrimony. A variety of waterfowl nest on the wooded island, including tufted duck, coot, Canada goose and mallard. Substantial flocks of gulls visit the park in winter and bats are likely to forage over the water. Small blocks of predominantly native woodland, mostly on the boundary between the Park and the Common, are dominated by oak and ash with a well-developed understory, but sparse ground flora. Spring bulbs have been planted in previous years. These and several dense shrubberies support a good bird population and small numbers of pipistrelle bats are present. Infrequently mown grassland is located in one large area and was seeded in 2009. It's composition includes giant fescue, ladies bedstraw, meadowsweet, black knapweed and wild carrot. The rest of the park consists of amenity grassland with some fine mature trees.  
    • Same here. Incredibly selfish behaviour. Also illegal.
    • I heard them & our two dogs were extremely upset by it..  bad enough during the evenings but at least can have music on to dilute the noise!   Some people have literally zero thoughts for others!! 
    • I have signed that petition.  Someone was letting off loud fireworks at about 3 am this morning. They woke me up.   I don’t know where they were exactly but it sounded like they were in the vicinity of Dog Kennel Hill.
