Just to say I have friends with children in Y7 and Y10 at ED Charter and all happy on the whole. Their main gripe seems to be early start and finish times and not many after school activities but they say teaching and discipline are pretty good. My eldest attends a different school and I just wanted to agree with the comments above that school comms are far less at secondary age. Parents eve zoom calls are 5 mins per teacher so inadequate really but the teachers have so many students they can't give more time. We as parents also have to take responsibility for our children and take an active role.. I ask about homework, offer help and advice with revision techniques (which is much needed as then they feel more organised and in control, less anxious etc). Aside, in Y7 and 8 my son found a small wipe clean whiteboard with his timetable on it very helpful so would recommend! Hope this helps -
It could be this if other people aren’t hearing it. I heard it for a while and it was keeping me awake. Other people couldn’t hear it. I thought I was going mad. It has gone now - very weird. https://www.thehum.info -
Flush on toilet mended. Reasonable price - came to have a look, ordered part, came back and sorted. Hooray. So I too would recommend Greg!
