"Now aged 76, Christ Church primary school was where my brother s& I many very happy years. . Mr Prune was our lovely headmaster , Mrs Read our lovely head teacher with miss Barber, Mr Gray , Mr Wallis , Mrs griggs, among other teachers . What wonderful school, the best years of my life . I lived in Duffield st , in a prefab . Went to Christ Church , church every Sunday and Mr Gordon was the vicar . Wonderful childhood memories. Never forgotten ."

"This has got to be the worse school in Battersea. I wouldnt rate it any stars! Where do i begin, I sent my 1st born to this school he was a hyperactive little boy and he was always sent out of class to stand outside the whole lesson or he would be sent to nursery on a daily basis to sit with aload of babies. I knew he needed support and knew something was up with his behaviour. Things got so bad with him never in class he didnt learn anything and didnt get the support. I would speak to the head and she looked like she was on planet Mars half the time and never gave me anything back regarding my concerns. Not only that some of the staff including his teacher would be drinking in the local pub down the road where they was interacting and drinking with my sons father who at the time i was split with. They even came FB mates.. i found this very arkward and unprofessional of teachers to act in such a way. I ended up removing him and placing him in another school without telling the school i was, I didnt even get a phone call from the head or school to ask why i moved him so suddenly i just never heard from them again, shows how much my son was missed. He got so much support in his new school that they referred him to hospital and found he had ADHD. He is now in year 6 and is the most behaved well mannered little boy. His come so far and is doing brilliant. The school is hideous!!"

"This is the worse school I have ever been to I mean they are 12 in the school league tables so me and my child are leaving to south fields primary. Last year in year 6 almost 134 supply teachers were standing and the head and deputy head were fine with it the staff In the office were teasing me because my hair looked like mens hair it was not funny. When I told the head teacher she started doing it as well I will not recommend this school to anyone l"

"In my experience of this school. This is one of the biggest jokes of a school i have ever seen. Please read on and think twice before bringing your child here. This school has no time for children. Especially those who require extra help. I find some of the members of staff rude an patronising towards parents. I found that the teachers pick on the children who need a little extra and those children get the blame for everything. The school never has anything postive to say about your children but are quite willing to tell all the negative. I know a few parents who have taken their children our of this school due to these underlying problems. When the school is confronted with these issues, we as parents are fobbed off. And thise who actually stick up for their children, the teachers become snotty and quite rude. They will quite happily tell you to take your child out of the school. (Not a bad idea). There are no stable teachers in this school they are always leaving or its constant supply teachers. Leaving children unsettled and unsure of who they will have the next day. In the last 4 years one of my children has had 1 stable teacher (year 3) lovely teacher. and since then has had supply after supply. In year 2 my child had upto 10 supply teachers.... 10!! Children are falling behind in class as a result to the lack of support. The teachers do not communicate between each other or with parents. The school fob off parents with what they think they want to hear. How do we expect our children to learn? To communicate? My child tells me everyday how thier day has gone and everyday im told the teacher will not listen to me. Im greatly concerned with this... But on the plus side .... it is massivley on gardening... to be honest i dont really care about gardening... i dont even have a garden. Nursery have had the biggest hit of all. Discriminating Parents who are not working were not allowed to bring thier children into school. It was deemed unsafe yet it was safe enough for parents who do work to bring thier children to school..... hmmmm. After speaking with a few parents Most of the full time children ended up being part time. The teachers in this school can not cope and the school to be honest is falling apart (serious crisis!!). My eldest child 8 years old had to be pulled from thier lessons to go and deal with their 3 year old sibling because the teachers could not cope. This is absolutely disgusting. I have given my phone number, dads phone number, and 2 other emergency contacts and yet no call was made to anyone. They pulled my child from her studies to deal with her younger sibling.... my youngest is not her responsibilty. Im starting to fear our childrens education. Children are able to escape from their classrooms and make it to the other end of the school. How is this the case? Why is there no security? There is no bounderies for the children who misbehave. They bring the older children to nursery where they are rewarded by playing on a tablet... how are we as parents ment to help our children when this is what we are having to fight against? How do our children know they have done wrong if they are being rewarded? I had to speak to the the nursery teacher reguarding my child and when i came up with a solution she replied with " im not his baby sitter!"... is this school seriously employing rude and inconciderate staff? Technically yes you are the baby sitter and yes the teacher. And yes it is down to the school to make our children safe and this is something they can not do. It is highly concerning and ofsted need to make an emergency review of this school and things need to be done before our children suffer more then what they already are. Parents you do need to stick up for your children and say your piece. Remember our children can not speak for them selves. I my self has taken my matter up higher as im seriously dissatisfied with the way matters have been handled. I would not rate this school at all to anyone."

"A very bad school where staff and headteacher are not doing their jobs. The school is lacking of support and children are not learning anything. Procedure are not follow properly even if there is rules. Many rules children's are so confused school is paying attention to attendance or behavior when there is not a unit anti bullying In appearance headteacher seems nice as soon as you challenge her this is when the real trouble start and everyone pick on your child without exception. Some class never had a stable teacher e.g. year 2 of 2015 or year 3 of 2014 children did not learn anything cause they had 5 teachers in rows. Nursery last year had 3 teacher in a row How children can learn in this type of environment The government is paying a lots of money but the headteacher is not taking seriously her job. Some class do not have a english teacher and the deputy headteacher teaches english when those children are the futur of this country. How many jobs the deputy headteacher has or the headteacher???? 2 instead of 1 Last year 10 childrens move out of the school this academic year 2016 12 childrens that show in a chart the school is not doing anything good for those local children. 3 years ago parents fought on a playground and this year same thing happens Again that is not suppose to happen. That means 1 thing the headteacher or deputy are focussing way too much on gardening ... this is what they ant for our children to be a gardener ?!!! and every year filled the report of those children when they are suppose to be there to boost their confidence instead of knocking them down Some children in year 5 had a level of year 2 in maths and their next year their facing their biggest challenge which is Sats in year 6 the school is aware of that but do not want to support our children. Last year the Local Authority wandsworth ask all primary school in the borough to participate on a competition and the headteacher did not want the school to participate cause she knew deep down that the school will come last I will say 1 thing the ofsted need to have a look how the school is manage and the welfare education needs to have look also without a copromise Parents needs to stand up what their believed and for the sake of their children otherwise they will see those children will loose their confidence in a long term and no have a futur I will rate out of the ten the school 1 Nothing good about it only trouble, bullying , fight inside hall, children using foul language, Adult and teachers are so convenient that they wait for the wages do not say anything to headteachers about a change cause they know that she will remove them. The head of the school deal with every parent differently Good teachers have been replaced could not handle the nonsense the school is doing The headteacher had her last warning from the L.A. Is better to change all the staff from head to staff without exception cause their not contributing anything."
