Esme's new school, Ladygroove Primary, Dawley.

I was a concerned with the mention of religion, and took issue with it a little. It seems that the head is a religious man as it is he who takes the bible crap in assembly and there's a deep link with the Central Telford Ecumenical Partnership whatever that is.

Esme's new school. Ladygrove Primary, about quarter of a mile walk away, in a nice quiet part of Dawley, well off the main road. We had a meeting there with the head and the reception teacher one Miss Susan Linforth. We were told about all the comings and goings we had to do, the new wind turbine that was being built soon, it all sounds rather fabulous, and both Amanda and myself were suitably impressed.

Looking at the Ofsted report (35 pp pdf) I guess it's up to the parents what sort of education they get. School can only do so much. But this was from 5 years ago. There's computer white boards in every class, and a computer, not that Susan can work Powerpoint very well, top her own admitance. There's also 20 computers in the ITC room. One thing that struck me, was the colour! The grass, the trees, everything did nothing to remind me of my schools. I had tarmac as a play area, worn, old hard cover books on the shelves. To me, now, my school was black and white.
