Hi Msgee and thanks for your reply, that all sounds great! There are a few children at Kingsdale that my daughter went to primary school with ( before our move) so she there will be a few familiar faces, like your son my daughter is also not the most extrovert of kids!

We are both very excited and can't wait for music activities to kick in!

And yes, I also saw the 70% pass rate news - is that actually possible! I am not particularly bothered by pass rates, as schools are about a lot more than academic success, but if that's the improvement they have made, then ... respect! (I believe that is the right term to use in London?)

Morning!


Had to comment on the 'sick' thing. Thats so funny and really makes me feel old and out of touch! LOL

Has anyone got info about the bus pick up times? I know we had provisional times in the orginal letter but the routes look as if they have changed quite a bit. I know there were staff testing the routes yesterday, but my daughter didn't think any info was given out. Anyone know different?
It starts at 7.00pm in the Upper School Library (behind the pod) and usually lasts 1.5-2 hours but depends on how many people want to speak. It only takes about an hour to work through the agenda but the AOB can stretch. As it will be the first meeting for many people, I expect there will be a large turnout. Luckily, refreshments are provided!
My daughter is loving the school bus - she was doing one way but now switched to return trip as well - I got the impression the school is worried about whether there's enough take up for the return journey. Hats off to the head though - he has been on her bus most days talking to the kids about how it's going and asking if the timing of the return journey works for them.
Yes the school bus makes things a lot easier. And I agree about the Head - this week my son came home saying the school has bought some new outdoor equipment and the Head and a Deputy came out at lunchtime and tried it out with the Year 7s. How cool is that!

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
