Ronald Ross Primary School SW19

[sassyminder]

Hello I am just wondering if someone can tell me something about Ronald Ross Primary School in Southfields + cathment area. Thanks

It used to have a shocker of a reputation! But I'm talking 5 or 6 years ago when I taught in Wandsworth - a lot can change in that time. Have you been in there yet?

Hi Febreeze thanks for replying but not sure if you mean shocker as good or bad?? English is not my first language...

Oh sorry, shocker means dreadful!

wow...the latest ofsted report wasnt that bad so now I am even more confused...
Since you used to teach in Wandsworth can you say anything about the following schools?
Albemarle
Sheringdale
Riversdale
St Michaelsa
Our Lady Queen of Heaven
??
Much appreciated

Do you know where you will be living or are you going to try and move into the catchment area of the school you like best?

(remember my info is at least 5 yrs out of date)

St. Michaels had a reasonably good local reputation.
Our lady always got fantastic results but you had to be a prove practicing catholic to stand a chance.

Have you looked at West Hill?

I leave close to RR so my child got a place in there. However I am trying to move since before the results, just triying to find a suitable place.

I know this a 3 months old thread but did you join your child to RR, i moved in recently and am trying to figure out options...RR was one of my options

I know this school and it has improved hugely over the last few years. In fact, I thought there was a waiting list to get into the school now.
I know people who volunteer in it and the children are certainly making a great deal of progress in a happy, well run school.
Many of the children do not have english as a first language, nor is english spoken at home for some, so they need special help. You should go on a visit to the school. I am sure they would welcome you and show you round and you would get a sense for yourself about what it is like.

Thanks for your response.

Yes there is a waiting list there and in all the schools that I had opted for...

I hope i do get a seat for my son, it is kind of frustrating!
