Yes I agree it has been a frustrating day but we really look forward to seeing the children tomorrow and again apologise for any inconvenience. The service company who provide the texting system were having their own problems today which meant that some texts were being sent and some not. Up to date information can be found on the school website at www.goodrich.org.uk
Received call from friend in the afternoon saying School would be closed for 2 days; received call from same friend late evening to say it would be open. No texts from Goodrich. Website was quite clear it would be closed tomorrow and Friday, so we?ve made plans, allowed children to stay up late, etc. I?m sure my children won?t be the only ones to stay at home tomorrow. Once again, communication from Goodrich to parents leaves a lot to be desired.

I'm biting my tongue somewhat, as obviously I don't know exactly what's been going on at the school, but I will say that I'm not impressed. We've had to change childcare plans at the drop of a hat only to abandon everything again. I agree with earwig1 that communication with parents needs to be improved.


For the record: no texts received today.

Very sad that Goodrich could not get this right. Surely the initial message should have been that we have a problem but we are trying to fix it, in the meantime be aware that the school may not be able to open tomorrow, but please prepare.


Aside from that - any fire alarm and other customary checks should take place not the day before school opening, but at least a week before, so any mechanical problems can be addressed before school opening, without disruption.

    • PCSOs may not need specific qualifications, but they go through a reasonably rigorous recruitment process. Or at least they used to. It may have changed.
    • The ones I've dropped into may be organised by PCSOs in the SNT but regular PCs have attended. They have actually been a cuppa with a copper, but not necessarily loads of them. 
    • @Pereira Neves "Cuppa with a Coppa" is a misrepresentation as PCSOs are not real police.   They have no more powers of arrest that any public citizen. They may have the "authority" to advise the regular police of a crime - just like Joe Public. One exception is that they can issue fixed penalty notices to people who cycle on a footpath. We see people cycling on the footpath every day but have never seen a PCSO issue a fixed penalty notice to anybody. No  qualifications are needed to become a PCSO.  At best, all they do is reassure and advise the public with platitudes.      
    • Right.  Already too many people saying “labour pushed for longer and more stringent lockdowns” which if nothing else, does seem to give credence the notion that yes people can be brainwashed    Nothing ...  Nothing Labour pushed for was about longer lockdowns.  Explicitly, and very clearly they said “lock down early OR we will be locking down for longer “   ie they were trying to prevent the longer lockdowns we had   But “positive thinking” and “nothing to see here” from Johnson led to bigger problems    as for the hand-wavery about the economic inheritance and markets being spooked by labour budget - look - things did get really really and under last government and they tried to hide it.  So when someone tries to address it, no one is going to be happy.  But pretending all was tickety boo is a child’s response
