it is a pretty popular school around here

That's brilliant - many thanks

no worries please feel free to contact me if you need to know anything in specific

also it comes under mornington not mount martha ( only across the road from mount martha though )

Thanks again - I may well take you up on it in the future.

I do wish I had considered it as opposed to Osborne Primary for our daughter.
I would not recommend this school and I am not alone. It was on the news last year :

and

and yes plenty of bullying including my daughter. She is now happily at secondary.

Cheers J. As usual you hear good and bad about most places. I guess the head was taking decisive action and it's quite brave to acknowledge you have a problem to start with, but I wouldn't want to risk the fact that it must have been bad to start with. Sorry to hear about your daughter and glad to hear she is happier now bless her. I've experienced bullying a few times now and wouldn't wish it on anyone (except maybe the bullies themselves!).
