Crawford Primary School 5 Crawford Road, London SE5 9NF

"My daughters all went there but now only my youngest is still there,all the others are in secondary school.It is a great school."

"My child used to go to Brunswick Park and they didn't teach her very well but this school has educated her very well and she is a top student there. The school doesn't serve halal meat which is a shame but she sometimes has packed lunch for something to eat but I'm very glad that I applied her to the school."

"Seems to be an ok primary, nothing too fancy. Classrooms are a bit packed, but you can't expect much from such a low budget school. Still much safer than others that i've seen, all local parents and students."

"This school is a total mess. The SMT have no communication skills. There is a constant breakdown in communication via staff members. The SMT are all relativly young and lack experience. There appears to be a great deal of Institutional bully going on within this school and other schools within this federation. The school seems to be structured like a corporate company / business as opposed to a school community. And at times feels like a very cold place to be in. There have been quite a few noticeable changes within the school and they are not just the snazxy new building they are in the process of trying to complete. Theres the new faces within the school and playground as it appears a lot families are withdrawing their children and moving on. As with the teachers, there seems to be an awful amount shifting of teachers around from site to site as though they were playing musical sites. (Excuse the pun). There also appears to be an ethos based more on stats and statistics as opposed to really seeing progress. On the whole this is not a good school to be honest they have only passed their ofsted visits as the SMT cracking that whip and ensure that all appears to be above board. I have family within the school both as students and as staff. The school lacks alot in terms of empathy something that they need to work on. Considering that many families have different needs. There seems to be an emphasis of accepting children whom are statemented by the local authority , but the lack of staff equipped to handle situations makes it seem as though the school is unable to care for these students. And I have witnessed on occasions whereby students have been handled quiet harshly, considering they have a disability. They speak to the children as though they are not children harsh and often shouting. You only need to ask the students and they will speak if no teaching staff are in earshot."
