Why I took sons out of school (From Daily Echo)

As posted before my daughter requests isolation so she can continue her work in a quiet environment. There is no disapline in the classroom and disruptive students are slowing down the students that want to learn.

Also after emailing Clive Webster head of Education he is denying all responsibility for this shambles and putting the blame back on Oasis when, in my eyes it was his decision and his collegues to close the two sites in the first place.

The class structuring has had no organisation and the students are mixed up and not put together according accademic ability.

It won't be long before all the other schools are over subscribed and Oasis ends up with less students than the original two sites put together.

We have also looked into moving our daughter out of oasis but the only school in the area we feel is capable of providing her with adequate education is currently full.

I hope this meeting tonight produces results, before it's too late for those students who care about their future.

This trouble wouldn't have started if the two schools hadn't merged.

"This policy is being outworked by high quality staff and leadership teams" I think this says it all... It is gobbledeegoog and makes no sence at all. The place is obviously being run by David Brent and a team of management consultants.

To be fair to Clive Webster, he and his fellow officers recommended that the school should not be given to Oasis but they were overruled by Councillor Peter Bailiie and his Conservative colleagues.

Just had a letter from Ruth Johnson and she is a complete waste of space.

She is panicing over this who har

I think it's not just the Oasis schools where there is a lack of learning. Not much goes on at most of them if the exam results are anything to go by.

Even if the Denham-backed bid won there would still have been the logistical problems that plague both Oasis schools. It would have been better to have closed Woolston completely and taught the kids in portakabins until the new wing at The Grove site was completed.

Chamberlayne is an appalling school so these parents must be either very disallusioned or mad

Is it really necessary to make fun of a young man of 13 on here?

Are you not able to make a comment on the issue rather than insult the poor lad?

Shame on you to be honest, I thought you were slightly maturer than that Adrian, especially to then make a false claim that it is because of your iphone.

Academies can work very well indeed when run by organisations and companies that know what they are doing. I've worked in a school that was turned in to an academy in a west London borough and they did a fantastic job raising a GCSE pass rate of 11% up to around 30% in under 2 years.

With the correct management team and an organisation that knows what they are doing this school COULD work.

Looks like the censor removed my apology to you and Jack. Heh ho.

Security word: girl-find

Priceless.

I had the pleasure of teaching both Liam and Jack last year and they are both highly talanted and capable lads. I feel that it is a real shame that they have had to change schools at this stage of their school careers (especially Liam in his final year). I would like to wish them both the best of luck for next year.

Having left the old Grove in the summer and having many friends (teachers and students) still working there. I would like to wish them all the best and hope that the many issues that continue to make their lives extremely difficult can be resolved soon.

Well I reported the highly unfair comment by Denzil but it was the only one I reported...

Chamberlayne (in my humble opinion) is much changed since the change of head teacher, this is reflected in the latest OFSTED reports.

I would prefer my child at a sttled school then one undergoing such upheavals as Oasis.

Yet another disaster that has been caused by the Tories. The sooner they go, the better for us all.

Unfortunately, much of the harm that they have already caused is irreversible.

As Liam was a ringleader in the riot in October, the Principal gave his parents the option of move him to another school or we will expell him. A kind gesture considering, funny how the parents didn't mention that!

sotongirlie...shutup liam wasnt even in the riot....

Have applied to move my year 8 son to Chamberlayne as better half an education their than none at all at Oasis.

The news today makes the decision all the harder to follow through now though! What a predicament...
