The clubs at charter are mainly free. There are a few that are run outside the school that are paid for like tennis and cycling. I don?t think you can use vouchers for those.

James will you be discussing fly tipping? It is a real problem on Darrell road behind the nursery. The street lights have been broken for months which means it?s dark and easy to dump rubbish. I?ve reported the street lights 3 times. Not the only street in the area where are lights are not repaired and rubbish dumped in the dark.

I asked our postman yesterday if they are clearing the backlog. He said no, there are piles just left there with no staff to sort them and no plan to clear the backlog.

Cora I know exactly which practice as I was in the same queue on Tuesday and gave up in the end. Thanks for the link I will complain.

Charter school are selling Christmas trees see attached for info

I have an 11 year old and we don?t have it. A lot of his friends have it and spend far too much time on it. I make sure that he is busy playing sport and generally not in front of a screen. There was moaning at first when his friends had the game but even he says that it is all people talk about and it?s boring. Holding out will save you constant arguments about stopping the game in the long run. Have also heard about children being verbally abusive to others through the on line chat.

Hi James Another building site issue on Upland road at the end near Crystal Palace Road. The builders building one house are making a complete mess of the pavement. Drain now blocked, so mucky water all along the gutter, pavement blocked randomly and vans parked on double yellow lines so there is no safe place to cross. A lot of school children walk along this road and need to be able to cross safely. Be good if you could look into it. Thanks

We're not churchy and we don't find it too bad. My son never even mentions religion! For me the positives of the school completely cancel out the religious aspect. The new head is good. I don't think he does come across that well when speaking to large groups of parents but he has made some positive changes and does listen and respond to parent feedback.

I have a child in year 6 at St. John's and st Clements. We've been really pleased with the school. The teachers are good, there is a real emphasis on art, music and sport and they do forest school. Facilities are great and it has a large playground so children actually have lots of space to play. They have good communication with parents and always striving to improve. Most importantly the children are happy and engaged.

Agree with Cactus. No truth in that at all. My son is has been at the school for 4 years and only staff turnover I'm aware of has been for maternity leave and they the return. All the teachers and staff I know are great.

I fine the female changing rooms too cold as are the family rooms, but also dirty. Would be good if someone could come and check them every hour and clean the floor if necessary.
