Cora Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Just wondered if anyone had worked out a good route to Deptford Green school from East Dulwich? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/26058-deptford-green-by-public-transport/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Depending on where you live in ED, The P13 bus might be an option... I know it's not the most reliable service, but it terminates at the Sainsburys in New Cross, which is a short walk away from the school.

Mens Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 It's a short train ride from forest hill station if you are close to there (or from honor oak) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/26058-deptford-green-by-public-transport/#findComment-583070 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renata Hamvas Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 P13 directly or Bus to Peckham Rye, Honor Oak Park or Forest Hill, then ELL to New Cross, then it is about 5 minutes walk from the schoolor bus to Peckham and another bus along the high road towards New Cross. It's very close to Haberdasher's Aske.Renata Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/26058-deptford-green-by-public-transport/#findComment-583104 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renata Hamvas Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Also, if you live close to the Rye,walk across the park and take the 343 bus.Renata Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/26058-deptford-green-by-public-transport/#findComment-583182 Share on other sites More sharing options...

eco79 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 It baffles me how a shiny new school can bring in the punters.Have a look at Deptford Green's website. It's very difficult to find their GCSE results? Or is it just me. Last year they had 48% of students collect 5 A*-C including English and Maths, and this year....I can't find it. This was very much in the lower half of the results of Lewisham schools. In their prospectus they use the mean score of every two years GCSE results in order to deceptively show continual progress, when actually their results have been up and down for the last 8 years. This prospectus also only contains a projected result for 2012, when it's unlikely they were printed before the results came out.Their prospectus lists the last OFSTED as the subject specific OFSTED for Art, in which they got an outstanding. This isn't an OFSTED worth noting. It then glosses over their last whole school OFSTED, without mentioning the grade and directing you to OFSTED report, which points out their satisfactory status.These are the things to look for and the school is making it more difficult than it should be to find this information.

Carbonara Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Are individual children happy there? How do the results compare with the baseline scores of the intake? Can a high achieving child enjoy their education and do well whatever the average and despite being above it? Is there good pastoral care? Do children that need more support egt it and do well according to their own potential?Word of mouth sometimes tels a better story than statistics which are geared towards a certain average and which are commonly misunderstood.I know nothing about Deptford Green, but I'm not convinced by the insistence in the material you are so set on, eco79.The DoE website gives all the facts, including some of the more important contextual ones.Plus - the thread asks for advice on how to get there! You will be aware, perhaps, that many famillies have few choices wrt to available places in schools. What do you mean by 'pulling in punters'?

Cora Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Visited today....thought it was fantastic with a very impressive head.Really recommend anyone who needs reassurance or another choice to put down. They have their last open morning tommorrow if you can make-it. People are being offered it this year as it has only just moved into its new build and so lots of parents were put off by the porta cabins last year.
