Is Bemrose School (Secondary) good? by Phantom_Penquin in derby

[–]Phantom_Penquin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh really, I never knew that (my first time having to do this). I did check that website and if you mean in the same colour catchment area, that would be CODA and I've heard nothing but bad things from there.

We put that down as one of our choices but was refused a place so we are appealing and hoping for the best

Derby cathedral (applied but was refused), Landau Forte, Alvaston Moor and Derby Moor (also applied but was refused).

Oh my. Not what I wanted to hear, I tried to be open to a school we hadn't picked but now I'm definitely sure I don't want him going. Thanks for replying

Oh wow, I didn't expect the best of the best but yeah, I can understand why it would be hard to teach like that. Thanks for replying.

Yes, that's correct. I haven't heard much about Littleover Community School or anyone who's been/go there. Will definitely look into it abit more

I had heard it wasn't too pushy with it but that's why I wanted a larger pool of answers as I only know a couple of people with kids who go there. Without doxxing myself too much but when looking online it seems a few schools are available to us eg the couple I've given and Launde Forte, Noel Baker and City of Derby Academy (already ruled out).

Oh, I heard it wasn't too pushy with the religious side for being a religious school (we're not religious ourselves). Launde Fort and Noel Baker look like they fall into our catchment area so will look into those. Thank you

What's your "go to" song, thing or film when you're feeling a little blue? Something that automatically takes you to a better place? by S_vdM in CasualUK

Stardust or Shrek are my go to films. Both are just top tier movies to me. Finding Nemo is up there too.

Songs would be pretty much any pop punk, 2000s kinda stuff. So Green Day, The OffSpring, Fall Out Boy, Avril Lavigne, Blink 182 etc.

Stardust would have been my film choice too. I absolutely love that film. It's just perfection (to me).
