West London free school

[Tw1nmummy]

Really interested in feedback from anyone with a child there.......not interested in any moans about free schools or Toby young - just want to know what you think if you have a child there.

Thank you

Hi

Not that I know of. A few new people have joined from others schools. I know 2 girls emigrated with parents jobs, so not Bec of school.

Finally some data and overall it is good news!! the West London Free School, has posted its first set of GCSE results this year and they are good. 76% of pupils got 5A*–C.
The school did very well at the top end, with 37% of all GCSEs being marked A or A. That figure should put the Wlfs in the top 50 non-selective state schools in England, based on last year’s data. the pupils performed particularly well in Maths, Science, Art, Music and Religious Education. In Music and Art, for instance, 100 per cent got 5A–C, as did those pupils who took Biology, Chemistry and Physics as separate subjects. In Maths, 85% got 5A*–C, while in English Literature it was 78%.

Bump

I've asked about this on another thread, but no joy, so hoping to bump this old one? I would love views from anyone with a child (or perhaps knows of a child) at the WLFS, as am trying to find out what this school is like now.

Is the discipline still strict? Are the children happy overall? Is bullying effectively managed? Do most children get to go on the amazing sounding school trips? How do the children cope with the longer school day? etc.

Any info gratefully received!

My son has been offered a musical scholarship to West London Free School, for Sept 2018. Obviously we are thrilled. I immediately looked up the reviews on Mumsnet and they are all so very different that I'm now worried. Is the teaching good? Is there bullying? Are the children happy and doing well academically? I'd be so grateful if anyone with a child there - or maybe even someone whose child has also won a music scholarship - can let me know about their experiences. Thank you!

I am perplexed as to whom to make a complaint . Has anyone got any emails of people at the Trust

Doesn't it depend who or what you are complaining about?

I have just googled and there is a complaints policy on their website. In the first instance I would address a broad complaint in writing to the headteacher, unless the complaint is about the headteacher, in which case I would address the chair of governors. Names and e-mails of governors including chair are on the website. If you can't find a specific email address you could use the admin address on the website which will certainly be referred or you can send a paper letter by post or hand.
