Peckhamryemum

Sarah Buckley is an excellent speech therapist who is based in Bromley. She has provided speech therapy at the school I work in for several years but also offers private sessions. http://www.sarahbuckleytherapies.co.uk/

I'm trying to gauge interest for a after school football club on Fridays, at Pecham Rye. The session will be delivered by football magic and will be for primary aged boys and girls. It's only early days so we haven't worked out the cost but expect it will be around ?5 per session. Football magic are interested but need to have enough participants to make it viable. Please let me know if you're interested, and spread the word. Thanks

Hi, the adventure playground is open 11:30 - 5pm and is lots of fun. I would advise taking snacks with you as there isn't a cafe there.

Terrible me with my statistics, eh ? If you'd read what I wrote you would have seen that I wrote that you are not a parent at the school. I didn't say you weren't a parent at all. It just seems that you have far too much time on your hands if you spend all your time looking for stats to let us know what a crappy school you think the new Harris is. Maybe you could use all that spare time to help me iron all my children's Harris uniforms 😂 The school is here and it's staying. I'm looking forward to getting to know all the supportive parents this school seems to have. This is my last word on the subject.

What a bitter person you are. I do know plenty of Harris teachers and as with all schools teachers opinions vary. I work in Primary (not for Harris before you ask!) and the picture you're painting is simply a very negative one. I mentioned the secondary as that's my experience, all my daughters friends recieved similar results and my daughter turned down 6th forms like Charter and opted to stay at HGAED. I'm really not sure why you keep choosing to bash people with your statistics, the thread was supposed to be an opportunity for new parents to get opinions of the school from parents already there, of which you are neither.

Our son will be starting reception in September and we couldn't be happier, both my older children attend Harris Schools in East Dulwich (boys & girls) and we have had no problems, in fact our daughter left the girls school with all A*-B grades at GCSE and is now about to Finish her 1st yr of A Levels, so I resent all the Anti Harris comments. They aren't helpful And are clearly from people who have no real facts about the schools. Reading the comments posted by the current parents has made us feel very welcome already.
