Student centered teaching in Sidcup

“SJ Pointer removed the pebble dash from the facade of my house, repointed, cleaned and repaired the brick. It looks fabulous. This is my second job with S.J. Pointer and each job has been well done. They did a great job working quickly and professionally. The crew was friendly and helpful. I highly recommend them as they delivered excellent service at a good price.”

“pre school teacher are great . glad my daughter is there.”

“Both my children currently attend Sherwood Park Infants and Primary. My daughter has really come along here, the teachers are brilliant!! They really interact brilliantly with all children and bring out the best of your child. I was a tad concerned with my son starting, as he is delayed with his speech and Language but I have to say the school and especially the current nursery teacher have been amazing! She has put plans in place in the nursery to help all the children not just my son. He has really progressed and I couldn't thank the nursery teacher, other staff and the school enough! They have worked wonders with him. There is a constant support for my son and also myself. I am able to speak as often as I like about him to the nursery teacher, Senco teacher, Deputy and the Head Teacher. They were quick to put things in place for him and to address any concerns I had. The time and work they put in with my son and other children is amazing. The teachers, head and deputy help all children blossom and as many come from different backgrounds it gives all the children a wider and a good understanding of different cultures, religions and diversity which the school encourages and absolutely welcomes. I placed my children here because the school had a good reputation, both the previous and the current Head Teachers, the Deputy Head teachers and all the staff who work hard to do their best for the pupils. Sherwood park Primary School is an amazing, brilliant and excellent school and I can't recommend it enough. A few people I know have moved there children from schools to here because of how good it is. Thank you to you all that you do with our children.”

“I have nothing but good things to say about this school. Both of my children have done well here. My son started in year 7 with good but not brilliant results, he is now in the first year of sixth form having gained 9 GCSE's a-b grades and is on course for university. My daughter is doing exceptionally well in year 9, in all subjects. They're not perfectly behaved, they have fun in school and and are both very active - they like being at school, never want to take time off and have always achieved high percentage of attendance. They also make no bones in complaining if something isn't right - but hopefully do it in a constructive way. As parents we try to always show solidarity with the school in front of the children, but when we do complain, the school are generally receptive and sort things out. There are no doubt very badly behaved children within school and Cleeve is in my opinion used as the local dumping ground for troubled children, but the school has an holistic approach to learning, it cares about each and every child as a whole It has some fabulous teachers Mr K - an amazing math teacher and form tutor, Ms Morgan - has the finger on the pulse with every child, Mr Bone - brilliant, Mr Luck, Miss Goody, Ms Crozier and the fabulous Ms Stokes to name but a few....... My children have had brilliant opportunities with this school Duke of Edinburgh award, skiing trips, choir, drama,french trips, competing in the bexley athletics, University trips, engineering awards, sports leadership, mentoring to name but a few. The school has lovely grounds and makes a real effort to keep the school tidy and clean despite the efforts of some pupils who obviously don't know how to behave. I think its very sad, that children/parents feel the need to say such awful things about their school without balancing their comments with all the efforts that are made for the children who want to learn.”
