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).

    • What a load of Bollixing nonsense. I saw Corbyn once speak as a back bencher.  I doubt whether he would have made a credible PM, let alone a leader of a mainstream political party, but he could speak very well. I haven't a clue what the quotes above are about.
    • the 1.8 million unemployed Brits could do the work that Brits won't do. Make minimum wage higher than the maximum benefits payments. So it's more profitable to be in work than it is to be unemployed.   anyway, round 2 today of Labour's attack on immigration. This one is reminiscent of their "hostile environment" that Liam Byrne created in 2007. 
    • He's always been clear he'd rather be elsewhere than Westminster: https://www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/2024/06/18/starmer-davos-interview/ "Westminster is too constrained. It’s closed and we’re not having meaning. Once you get out of Westminster whether it’s Davos or anywhere else, you actually engage with people that you can see working with in the future. Westminster is just a tribal shouting place."   That's who he is.
    • These are the times he used the word "fight", in context. And Rudy [Giuliani], you did a great job. He’s got guts. You know what? He’s got guts, unlike a lot of people in the Republican Party. He’s got guts. He fights. He fights, and I’ll tell you.   ... For years, Democrats have gotten away with election fraud and weak Republicans, and that’s what they are. There’s so many weak Republicans. We have great ones, Jim Jordan, and some of these guys. They’re out there fighting. The House guys are fighting, but it’s incredible. ... Did you see the other day where Joe Biden said, “I want to get rid of the America First policy”? What’s that all about, get rid of -- how do you say, “I want to get rid of America First”? Even if you’re going to do it, don’t talk about it, right? Unbelievable, what we have to go through, what we have to go through, and you have to get your people to fight. And if they don’t fight, we have to primary the hell out of the ones that don’t fight. You primary them. We’re going to let you know who they are. I can already tell you, frankly. ... Republicans are constantly fighting like a boxer with his hands tied behind his back. It’s like a boxer, and we want to be so nice. We want to be so respectful of everybody, including bad people. And we’re going to have to fight much harder, and Mike Pence is going to have to come through for us. ... And we were going to sit home and watch a big victory. And everybody had us down for a victory. It was going to be great. And now we’re out here fighting. ... [ I GUESS THE BBC REALLY COULDN'T USE THIS ONE:] The American people do not believe the corrupt fake news anymore. They have ruined their reputation. But it used to be that they’d argue with me, I’d fight. So I’d fight, they’d fight. I’d fight, they’d fight. Boop-boop. You’d believe me, you’d believe them. Somebody comes out. You know. They had their point of view, I had my point of view. But you’d have an argument. Now what they do is they go silent. It’s called suppression. And that’s what happens in a communist country. That’s what they do. They suppress. You don’t fight with them anymore, unless it’s a bad story. ... With your help over the last four years, we built the greatest political movement in the history of our country and nobody even challenges that. I say that over and over, and I never get challenged by the fake news, and they challenge almost everything we say. But our fight against the big donors, big media, big tech and others is just getting started. ... Our brightest days are before us. Our greatest achievements still wait. I think one of our great achievements will be election security because nobody until I came along, had any idea how corrupt our elections were. And again, most people would stand there at 9:00 in the evening and say, “I want to thank you very much,” and they go off to some other life, but I said, “Something’s wrong here. Something’s really wrong. Can’t have happened.” And we fight. We fight like hell and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.
