Primary Schools in t'tarn

Any advice anyone?</p>

I've got to register my son for school and make 3 choices i.e my prefered 3 schools by mid nov.</p>

I live in oakwell and to put it bluntly Grove Street and Doncaster road appear to be **** (on a results basis) although grove street has now become the new pipers grove. Only decent school appears to be Shawlands but I'm a bit worried he wont get in cos we are a mile away. Are there any other decentalternatives near tarnwithout some poisoned religous doctrine?</p>

As a footnote I went to t'common which really was **** with a capital turdand a very putrid aroma.</p>

 

Summer Lane seems ok - ex's lad went there.

 

Tina's probably the best one to ask nt

 

Yes I can help here.
PM me.

 

My mum works at Doncaster Road school

she's not a teacher though. I particularly hate the feckin place whenever I go down there, I'm not being snobby or owt but you don't get the type of people I'd want my kids hanging round with there. It's a very multi cultural school though, whether you look at that as a positive or negative is up to you.

There's that newly built Joseph Locke Primary school that's supposed to be quite good.

 

RE: My mum works at Doncaster Road school

hmmm u saying its full of tarn rough knecks and a few ethnics mixed in?

 

St Mary's

only tarn primary worth its salt

 

It's about time we went back to kids going to their nearest school. All this "choice" and league tables does is to further the divide between a "good" school and a "poor" school.

 

Summer Lane.

The 2 primary schools i went to have both closed, Grove Street and Longcar.

 

Loncar school's gone?

They were always in our leagues at football. Had some good games but Athersley South usually came out on top!

 

Just been knocked down in the last month or so

Not sure what's replacing it.

 

Cheers

Been away for twenty years now - still pop back for family and matches - but it's surprising what isn't there any more. Half the schools have gone- apparantly my old secondary school St. Helen's , which is now Edward Sheerian, is being knocked down! .It doesn't seem like the place I grew up in- Scary really!

 

replaced by Joseph Locke

My son went to Longcar until it closed this summer, it was replaced by a new school Joseph Locke which is just around the corner near shaw lane

 

Definitely recommend Shawlands

Did a teaching placement there the other week and I have to say it is the best school i've been in...Got an outstanding in latest OFSTED inspections...that says it all

 

So houses, I assume, on the site?

Wonder where the polling station will be.
