Hi there, I have just been offered this and after much deliberation and taking into account the fact that the school is much much more convenient than the one that we had accepted a place at, I think we are going to have to take it.


I just wondered whether there were any plans for any more meet ups before term starts - if not I would be happy to organise one so please get in touch if interested.

Also if anyone has a clue what the settling in procedure and start date for reception is (broadly) I would be interested to hear as Southwark have just told me that I will not find out which class etc and when we need to be there until September which seems RIDICULOUS!


thanks

Welcome to our school!


Last year, our daughter attended only mornings for the first week. Her first day was also quite late after the official back to school date. On the official back to school day or the day after, we had a home visit from the teacher and teaching assistant, which we had signed up for in June. Hopefully some parents with reception children will be able to tell you more about this year's schedule.


If I can help with other questions you have, please let me know, I'd be happy to help.

The first week for Reception this year starts on Monday 8th September, but not all children will start that day. There is a staggered start with a few children starting each day over the course if that week. The children will also only be going in for half days for the first week (mornings), starting full time on Monday 15th September. The class teachers are doing home visits the previous week (w/c 1st September).


Information about the uniform, etc is on the website I think, but if not please let me know and I'll dig out the letter we were given at the class visit in July for you.

So...we have our youngest starting Goodrich reception in September, and have friends' kids going into the other two classes too. As far as I can gather (and this is only my deductions so not by any means gospel)...


Normal school starts Sept 2nd

Reception starts the week after and have 1/2 days (1.10 pick up) for the first week.


Class 20 start on Monday 8th

Class 21 start on Tuesday 9th

Class 22 start on Wednesday 10th.


For the first week there's no breakfast or after school club either.


Hopefully someone can verify or otherwise....

Thanks all so much, it's such a relief to know the rough arrangement even though we won't know class specifically until September.


One of the other edffers has kindly offered to send me a copy of all her paperwork.


Hope to meet all of you soon! Maybe before term starts for a picnic or something ? If you're interested PM me.

If it's anything like usual, which class will make no difference to starting days. Each class will stagger the children in over so you could be starting any day that week. And it will be mornings only until the end of the week and then starting full days the following Monday (even if he/she only started on Friday 12th).

    • This may be somewhat out of date but virtually no environmental benefit & almost entirely grass... really? https://www.gigl.org.uk/sinc/sobi09/ Description Peckham Rye was established as an open space in the late 19th century and includes several valuable habitat features spread across the park. The park is a Grade II Listed landscape, and has recently been restored with assistance from the Heritage Lottery Fund. A small community garden within the site is managed by the Friends of Peckham Rye. Peckham Rye Park won a Green Flag Award again for 2022. The site is used by the Southwark Health Walks project as part of a Walking the Way to Health (WHI) scheme. Wildlife This large park has several valuable habitat features. The most important of these is the only remaining above-ground section of the River Peck and the most natural stream in the borough. The stream is heavily shaded by native, unmanaged wet woodland dominated by alder, ash and pedunculated oak with a ground cover of pendulous sedge and bramble. Alder dominated woodland is a rare habitat in Southwark. Although somewhat altered with weirs, other artificial structures and ornamental planting, some sections are still in their natural banks and includes yellow flag, watercress, water figwort and cuckooflower. The largest of three ponds supports marginal vegetation including hemp agrimony. A variety of waterfowl nest on the wooded island, including tufted duck, coot, Canada goose and mallard. Substantial flocks of gulls visit the park in winter and bats are likely to forage over the water. Small blocks of predominantly native woodland, mostly on the boundary between the Park and the Common, are dominated by oak and ash with a well-developed understory, but sparse ground flora. Spring bulbs have been planted in previous years. These and several dense shrubberies support a good bird population and small numbers of pipistrelle bats are present. Infrequently mown grassland is located in one large area and was seeded in 2009. It's composition includes giant fescue, ladies bedstraw, meadowsweet, black knapweed and wild carrot. The rest of the park consists of amenity grassland with some fine mature trees.
