Primary school life skills in London

“I attended Southborough Lane primary school in 1962 and 1963. We lived across the street- attached is a photo of my sister and I running to school in 1962. I have such wonderful memories of my time there. The teachers were kind and supportive. They instilled values of sharing and politeness I have never forgotten. There was a tree on the grounds, beneath which we children used to form a circle, hold hands and sing traditional songs. It was so all different when we moved to Canada- the only songs sung were from television shows (a luxury we didn't have in England) and politeness was ridiculed by my fellow students. I'm certain things have changed at Southborough Lane since, but I will always retain the memory of my idyllic childhood in England.”

“Really wonderful headteacher and staff, my son definitely enjoyed his school in Poverest”

“Really good school where the academic staff work hard towards their pupils achievements, the pupils feel happy around the school surroundings. The school has some great achievers and encourage each child to do well. There is a lot of interaction between the teacher and parent to keep them updated of the current curriculum. The head of school and the senior staff ensure that they know each pupils by name and their year when greeted each day.”

“Brilliant school. Great teachers and very friendly pupils. Always achieves great OFSTED grades.”

“this school has great teachers and great headteacher”

“Love this school, hidden away in a residential area, you are welcomed by an old, huge building but it is not intimidating. The school is friendly and nurturing, like when I went to school. It is not like these academies that focus on results and not the children's wellbeing. The staff are friendly and my children made fabulous progress here! Dont just read ofsted reports, go and visit a school and talk to the people who work there day in and day out!”

“I love this school so much❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤”

“All of the teacher and ilderton primary school are really nice”

“Both my children attend Queensbridge Primary School and I have never experienced anything other than kindness and professionalism from the staff here. I personally think that the mark of a good school is somewhere that the children feel as though they belong to and enjoy. Where you don't have to drag them to on a rainy Monday morning. So yes I give it 5⭐.”
