hi, going to look at this tomorrow - I would love to hear from parents with children actually at the school. There is so much historical 'baggage' with this school (sorry) that I would love to hear from people with kids there - I am hearing lots of positives - The facitilies look amazing so any info very gratefully received

thanks - secondary school bore!!

I don't have any children going there but I do see them making their way too and from school and they are a rowdy bunch. However in saying that many children are. An ex teacher of mine is Deputy and he always struck me as they type to try to get young boys in to positive things so who knows perhaps it is a good school. It only takes a few to give a bad impression to the outside world.

Thanks, Ko!


As per the other thread - we have a son in Year 8 at Kingsdale and are passionate supporters of the school. We have another son in Year 5 at Goodrich and will have no hesitation whatsoever in sending him to Kingsdale.


Reply in this thread if you have any specific questions about the school that I can help with.

    • What I don't understand is those that are clamouring for this says there is an urgent need for more teachers yet they also say there are lots of places at schools for the children leaving private school due to dwindling pupil numbers (at primary especially). Surely then the teacher "gap" can, in part, be plugged by this?   This does seem a very blinkered, dog whistle attack on a certain part of private education and it will be interesting to see how the courts (and Europe) views it. Given the government accelerated the rollout to happen in the middle of a school year (which no-one thought was a good idea) probably shows they may not believe they are on strong ground - it feels like a "beg for forgiveness rather than ask for permission" situation.
    • I have tried Ancestry (library) and Findmypast (library and paid). They both pay for archives to digitise some of their holdings. Forget details, Both has things other doesn't but think Ancestry is ahead. I found the search facility frustrating - you needed to play with options a lot.   My dad did research before these sites existed which was harder work but more fun. I recall instances where Ancestry made wrong assumptions (something like mire than one John and Joan Walker in same town).  
    • 01102528 and 01902663 are the two linked Police crime report numbers associated with the individual in the photos.
    • Montessori schools are private so will have to pay VAT.  Not sure what the confusion is. I expect most of us who never even considered sending our kids to Prep school, Montessori or Steiner have particular sympathy.  Of course in a years time we will see and you may say "I told you so".
