Hi @Dondee, Goose Green has come a very long way and you can see our recent Ofsted report here: https://www.goosegreenprimaryschool.org/school-information/ofsted. Ofsted have confirmed that Goose Green is a GOOD school and children are achieving good outcomes.


In their report Ofsted highlighted that:


?Goose Green Primary School is a safe, happy place where pupils achieve well and become confident, respectful citizens.?


?Leaders have put together careful plans to make sure that pupils achieve well in a wide range of subjects.?


?Leaders have high expectations and plans are ambitious. Teachers try their best to make lessons enjoyable and interesting. Pupils enjoy topics which are planned around well-chosen children?s literature.?


We'd love to answer any questions you have about our wonderful school and would be delighted to welcome you and your child into our school community in September. Do please get in touch with the school office and we'll follow up.


With very best wishes, Rob (chair of governors)

Hi Dondee - I have a daughter in year 6 at Goose Green and my other daughter will be starting in reception in September. We love the school - my daughter has been really happy there. The staff are all so caring and it has a lovely family feel. It had a tough few years with no permanent head but things have really improved since the new head started. I think we?re really luck in ED to have lots of good primaries and I know it?s disappointing when you don?t get any of your choices but I?d really encourage you to visit (when you can) and see GG in action. From a personal pony of view I?ve also made some wonderful friends as a parent there!!

Hi Dondee,


I have two daughters at Goose Green and they both love it - thriving both academically and socially. We're really happy with the school, I wouldn't send them anywhere else! The school has a great atmosphere, a lovely set of talented teachers and a broad curriculum. The Head is excellent. If you're into OFSTED, the school just had a good inspection before Christmas.


I have friends with children about to go into reception who put Goose Green as their first choice - if you've been offered a place I would recommend you take it. Shame you can't go and look around at the moment but hopefully schools will reopen before the summer holidays and you'll get a chance.

Hi.

We have 3 children at Goose Green Primary. They have never had a day of not wanting to go and have always spoken fondly of the school. The early years are superb and provide a brilliant grounding for learning and social skills as the children grow and develop. We like the broad demographic and rich sense of community.

The head is great and has a lovely team of staff. I highly recommend you go and visit as and when it reopens and if you can speak to the staff or governors in the mean time that is likely to put your mind at rest.

My daughter is in yr.6 at Goose Green. She has always been extremely happy there and has made a fantastic group of friends, as have we. True, there were some bumps along the way at the beginning of her time there,but they have more than been ironed out and the school has received an extremely positive Ofsted review recently. The head and governors gibe great leadership and support. The staff are encouraging, nurturing and inspiring. The curriculum is varied and engaging. There is a wonderful community feel. I would highly recommend you visit when you can, but meantime, as others have suggested, do contact the school/governors with any immediate concerns.

Just echoing what the other parents above have said really. I have a daughter in Yr 2. She loves Goose Green and so do we. Ever since she started in Reception she's been happy and is thriving. The teachers and all the staff are warm and passionate and care greatly about the pupils and school community. It's a smaller school, just 2 form entry, and we really like the more personal & creative feel of it. We feel really lucky to be part of such a lovely school and the community that comes with it. Wrap around care is also excellent with brilliant and caring staff. Please do feel free to PM if you have any questions.

Best Wishes

    • Thanks for stating the bleeding obvious
    • Yes, they are intelligent ❤️ Various methods of deterring the foxes (aka stopping them coming and crapping on your lawn) have been suggested in this thread. If you don't want to try them, and prefer to keep clearing up the crap and complaining about it, well that's YOUR choice 🙄
    • Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong..  Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out.     And whilst on the subject of heat and dogs, do remember that leaving a couple of windows open while you run into a shop etc to get groceries etc …. Is not good enough / the inside of a car obviously gets very very hot… and one could be delayed in ship, thru no fault of your own - meanwhile, your woofer is suffering.  Common sense really and if you are a new owner, probably really never thought it through ie walking dogs in heat or leaving them in car in heat. The majority of people on this site are caring, supportive people only offering advice, expressing concern when they see stupidity.  
    • Weirdly (well, weird as it happened very shortly after I had posted that) I got a notice the other day (the first time in the near enough twenty years since I joined the forum) telling me I had reached my limit of "reactions". I posted a screenshot on here. However I did not actually seem be prevented  from  making any more!   What is your purpose in doing that? This is a useful, long running and well loved (by me, anyway) local forum. It provides information on matters of local interest, an opportunity to easily sell or give away  unwanted things and buy or be given things you want, information on upcoming local events and interest groups. It is also a well moderated place to discuss both local and wider issues. And it is used by a variety of different kinds of people, as would be expected - we all have different personalities, experiences and opinions, and that's part of what makes the forum such a great local asset. Since rescuing the forum when the previous admin left - it could have disappeared altogether - Joe has put and continues to put an enormous amount of work into setting it up on a different platform (?) , maintaining it, and keeping it a safe and pleasant place for everyone using it. I'm sure you and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels to me that dissecting "posters and their patterns" in the way you describe - presumably then to post the results on here?  - is just going to sow seeds of discord which could stop some people posting altogether and generally change the whole nature of the forum. I think that would be very sad, and I hope that that isn't your intention? Are you going to include your own posts in this? You have joined the forum relatively recently, and seem to be self-described as a "Pain".
