Changing attitude of Kelsey Park Sports College
Started this discussion. Last reply by Phil Beadle Oct 3, 2010. 4 Replies 0 Likes
When our son was approaching year 6 it dawned on us that we had to make a very important choice, which was to select a secondary school for him. We looked at several schools in Bromley and despite…Continue

- Dear Sophie, so sorry to hear about your son's experience. I have to sat that I find the behaviour of some of the group very disturbing. It confirms in my mind the deep level of prejudice that exists amongst some of their supporters. I do hope we have a good and balanced turn out to the consultaiton and can find the best way foward for Kelsey Park College and its students.

- Thank you. I have tried to focus on defending Kelsey rather than attacking Harris or academies but I am glad someone else has enetred the fray. The other big questions for Harris are which exams did the Sth Norwood students actually take and what grades did they receive? And, how has Harris CP managed to enrol an intake with a higher level of advantage than even Langley Boys when it is right next door to two of the most deprived wards in Bromley. I suspect you have provided the answer.
Regards,
John
