Wimbeldon Park Primary School.....advice please !!

[newtouk]

Hi, I am moving to Wimbledon Park in May and this school is only 0.1 mile from our house. Does anyone know of this school, the Ofsted report was not that good ?? My son would be first on the waiting list for Year 1 but wanted to know more about the school. We are currently in Switzerland and I need to make up my mind to either send him to local school...or private school other side of Wimbledon ?? Any advice.

My children don't go to this school, but I have friends whose children do, one of whom is a teacher, and it was her first choice for a local school.

It hasn't had a good Ofsted compared to last time, but apparently it has given them a massive kick up the rear to make changes and get things right. There have been complaints about communications with parents ie lack of, and various other things, but from what I've seen, the families who send their children there seem supportive and motivated people, which bodes well for the school's future.

You could log onto www.southfields.net (a local community website) and go on the forum boards/chat area to get a clearer picture from people who send their kids there.
