It's a popular Church school (note therefore the admissions policies - 2 for children with special needs, 35 for Christians and 23 open places, so get pious if you're not already, and want one of the 35...). Note also belief comes above siblings here. 234 applications for 60 places last year (slightly more than the previous year). Ofsted - good. 72% KS2 Level 4 performance in 2014 (below Southwark average of 81%).

It's a fab school. I've had two daughters go through recently, now in yrs 7 & 10 at secondary. Loads of teaching staff and support staff and very friendly office staff. Loads of days trips related to topics, which change each half-term. Two residential trips - Michael Morpurgo Farms for City Kids in yr 5 and PGL in year 6. Church service for whole school and parents / carers etc on the morning of the final day of each 3 terms (not compulsory for parents). Various after school clubs. A breakfast club. Great pastoral care. Children mix throughout the years esp at playtime and external play leaders to lead organised games at playtimes. Good teaching standard. Music, art, IT and French all focused on. Have a look at the website and twitter feed to see all that goes on - it's busy.

Hi


I can second Mrs TP's view!

We came from another school as eldest transferred in in year 2. We have three children there at present and they love it. My children have various abilities and these are being met. Plus they try really hard to keep parents in the loop. Weekly headteacher newsletters, each year they arrange a "meet the teacher" for parents and termly curriculum events so you can go into class and join them in an activity. We had some issues with eldest about sport and they listened and responded really quickly, all sorted within a couple of weeks. Also, just generally really nice relationships between staff, parents and kids. All good from our perspective

    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
