I managed to resist the yummy biscuits at the coffee morning!! Great meeting - a good mix of informal meeting other parents and then a good discussion with the Headerteacher. She told us they had a short inspection from Ofted last week and they said that the quality of teaching had dramatically improved which was great. Most people at the meeting said they felt happy with the school now, kids were happy and learning - parents of reception kids are very happy with the two reception teachers (new to the school this year but both experienced teachers). We talked about the new school website - which has lots of info on it. http://www.goosegreenprimaryschool.org.uk/


And the Head teacher is very keen on the open day idea - she suggested we have a one or two hour slot (looking at the 1st week in Novemeber) where parents thinking of sending their kids to reception can come and view a class or a segment (like a reading lesson) and then they can have a meeting with the current parents herself and they can ask any questions they like.


So very positive!

I would like to attend an open morning - will it be advertised when you decide on a date?


I called the school to arrange a look around last week but the could only offer one date which I was unable to make. Quite disappointing considering every other local primary I spoke to was able to offer me a range of opportunities to visit the school...

Hi there - the Headteacher along with the reception teachers will be setting a date this week - it should be set by the PTA meeting which is next Tuesday evening at 6pm. It's envisioned that the open session will be organised so that propspective parents can view an actual reception teaching setting, have a chance to talk to the Head directly and also meet current parents whose children are in reception.


It's my understanding that you can ring up and make an individual appointment to go and be shown around the school. When I was shown around Goose Green last year, I was shown around by a teacher as well as being able to talk to students. (a couple of the other primary schools just had it so you were shown around by a year 6 student) I found very helpful as is a limit to what the students could answer at the other primary schools that I went to see - for example about teaching methods, curriculam matters, etc. etc.


Anyway, I'd check with the office again if you want an individual appointment to be shown around the school - it might be they thought you were coming to see the maths curriculam evening which is next week perhaps?


And yes, the date will be advertised here on the forum when it is set - envisioned for the first week of November after half term. Also will be posters displayed in the area via the PTA network.

Great, thanks. Look forward to hearing details of the open session.


I was very clear with the person I spoke to that my daughter was due to start reception next year and that was why I wanted to view the school, however, they only had a single date available for this and no further sessions determined.


If it's ok, I've PM'd you with some other questions about the school. Hope that's ok...

Re: appointments to tour the Goose Green Primary and Nursery School


I spoke to the head this morning and tours are being organised by demand. She did three last week and they try not to have more than three parents per tour. There will also be an open day.


So, please try again if you are interested in a tour. Any probs, please PM me and I'll try and help.


Best, Dagmar

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By ak0910 · Posted

      Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.

      When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
