We still have a few spaces left for boys going into year 6 this September. Sessions take place this Weds in Covent garden. Start times depend on which games the boys own/play.

We are looking for confident boys who are doing 'very well' at school

?25 Toys r us vouchers plus ?25 cash for chaperone. Kids small discussion group 75min max

Please contact me for more details/to complete a short screener

Thanks! Sara

> Why is it aimed at just boys anyway?


I don't think it's too controversial to suggest that boys and girls tend to prefer different types of games... is it? Girls don't tend to be so interested in shooting/fighting/spaceship type games, do they?

Boys failing at School + Gaming. Ask any teacher off the record their view


Both my boys (10 & 13) are aware/dismissive of "the gamers" who fall into this sub group


Researchers need to find ones who aren't in that group poss and are "doing well" (good luck)


If you're an adult gamer, this not designed as a swipe at you, but it's an issue of sorts in School

its maddening when people delete their posts seconds after posting!!! (waves to Woody)


what did you say Loz?!


Jeremy, no its not controversial at all to suggest that boys & girls prefer different types of games. There was nothing to suggest that the gaming research mentioned was of the shoot-em-up kind tho. I just don't like it when its assumed that things are 'for girls' or 'for boys'. I am not really into computer games these days but I quite liked space invaders back in the 80s or whenever they were invented!

    • The big difference, other than increasingly flaking paint, seems to be graffiti. The question is, will that/ can it be controlled?
    • I took back my 🤣 because I think the idea is unworkable expensive and would produce little result.  There seems to be people in the office next to the toilet but I don’t think they leave the office. I’m not sure what they do there.  The toilets have been in a disgusting state for months and months with many promises to repair they are not functional and they invite vandalism. I shall  try to add a couple of photos. The council doesn’t care why should we?
    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
    • Its almost the same as Grove Vale School , now Goose Green School.
