Hi all


As you may know, Bessemer Grange Primary School recently had an Ofsted inspection and we are thrilled with the result, which is Good with Outstanding features.


We absolutely love our school and believe that our children benefit greatly from the hard work and dedication of the teachers and management staff. We are lucky enough to have amazing teaching, varied and regular school trips, excellent results and unique facilities ... but don't take our word for it ... here's the report so that you can read it for yourself!

Bessemer has certainly got bigger since my three children attended and there is a new building being created across the road (which was the original nursery/reception) and so 'bulge' classes could be made this way.


Bessemer are also advertising for staff for the 2 year old provision so they will also have to make room for this somewhere.

how do you know it has the space to bulge? Schools need more than just classroom space to bulge successfully, they need hall space to, to accomodate lunches, assemblies and indoor PE, as well as have enough playground space.


What I would like to know is why a massive school (in terms of space, not number of pupils) like St John's and St Clements doesn't have to bulge - I know that it has 3 humungous halls so can easily accomodate more children, but it can refuse to bulge (and does, as far as I can tell), whilst other schools are cramming children into inappropriate spaces.


Congrats to Bessemer!

Yes, congratulations to Bessemer Grange.


I suppose the Ofsted inspectors know what's happening with the school for the future and as there's a lot of building work going on they would have seen for themselves if more classes could be added.


Also Ofsted must be satisfied that there's enough staff for Bessemer to cope with the classes that are already there and enough staff to cope with lunchtime, P.E. and playground time.

    • You could try asking  ChatGPT? Give it the information you have posted here, and ask for suggestions in your preferred geographical areas (eg South and Central London, or whatever). It recently saved me hours when I was looking to see if there was a cheaper  energy tariff for my usage, and it  gave me other very useful relevant  information. I've also used it for several other things, and it has been eye openingly helpful. ETA: I know there are various issues around AI, so please if forum members are reading this and want to discuss them (I don't), don't do it on this thread!  
    • Yes it would be easier, and I give a lot to the hospice shops, but for various reasons there are certain things I prefer to give to Oxfam. However I might go through the books and see if some could be donated more locally. I think in any charity shop staffed by volunteers, the reception you get must depend on the member of staff. The Oxfam bookshop have always been very happy when I've taken shedloads of books there in the past. On the other hand, I've taken things to the hospice shop that were received very grumpily when they hadn't even looked in the bag or asked what they were. It felt like I was being a nuisance and causing them more work. I don't remember a previous thread on here  about the Oxfam shop and parking, but that's possibly because it wasn't relevant to me at the time.
