Hi Sam I am a parent at GG, and a member of the PTA - I have 2 boys who are going into Year 3 and Year 1 respectively in September. Each of them joined GG in the Nursery and so we've had 4 years at the school. My own experience is of the Lower School Key Stage 1/EYFS teaching, which I feel has been fantastic - kind, enthusiastic, engaged, pro-active and thoughtful. I have been thrilled and impressed at how well the staff know my children, and how they respond individually to their specific learning & emotional needs, and with the amount of access and information they have provided for me as a parent to support them in their learning : regular parent workshops on Phonics, Maths, Literacy, PSHE etc together with regular classroom access. The schools 'motto' is Life, Laughter, Learning, and the broad curriculum with lots of specialised teachers reflects this - the Music and Art Provision is exceptional but there is also a strong emphasis & interest in SENCO & PSHE. All children have Spanish lessons weekly, and all (except Nursery) attend Forest School at least 1 day a week for 1 term. There are ambitious & excellent school productions each term, many musical events, culminating in procession & performances at the school carnival in the summer term. Topic related learning is supported by external trips per Year Group, for example Reception bought ingredients and made items for a Parent Cafe to raise funds for their trip to see The Tiger Who Came to Tea, they read the book in class, wrote shopping lists, menus, invitations to the cafe, used their maths to measure the ingredients to cook the cakes, and 'bill' the customers etc. They also went to Deptford Creek, and Surrey Docks Farm that year. There are several after school clubs : Drama, Tae Kwondo, Chess, Gymnastics, Art, Football etc although there is demand for more. There is onsite Breakfast & After School Club provision. The School has a Growth Mindset outlook, believing that hard work, practice & effort are the key to limitless potential, and they engage the children in understanding the science and emotion behind this - they talk with them about the learning pit, about how they can't do it 'YET", they celebrate the effort not simply the success; their goal is empowered, confident, quizzical learners. Both my children enjoy their time at school, they have good friends and good relations with their teachers, they enjoy the community activities and events that the school & PTA run, and are happy & proud to be Goose Greeners. From everything I see at GG & hear from my friends at other schools, Primary School Teachers do an exceptional job every day, there are many great schools in the area so whichever you choose I wish you and your son the very best of adventures, Lucy
