This week Cotham School held just 1 PE lesson at Stoke Lodge. Still using Golden Hill - pupils & staff say they prefer it! Gates locked 24/7 despite misleading new signs saying public can access when CS not there (ie 93% of daylight hours). Bristol City Council CS in breach of lease

We 💚 Stoke Lodge 🍃💚🍃 Bristol City Council That’s just over 7%. All the maintenance, around £1m in legal costs and they’ve used it for 7% of the time. Is this a good use of taxpayer money?

Is everyone enjoying Gone? Partly filmed at Downside School nr Radstock. Beautiful playing fields including a public footpath; pitches laid out either side. Yet Cotham School is about to waste multiple teacher salaries claiming they are unable to do same at Stoke Lodge! #landgrab

The reality is Jo Butler knows many other schools are perfectly capable of managing this. And she knows it’s not a safeguarding issue, and Ofsted doesn’t think playing fields must be fenced.

Has anyone seen Cotham School? Hey, Cotham School, r u ok hun? Because over here at Stoke Lodge we haven’t seen you AT ALL this week! What about the hundreds of thousands of pounds you spent fencing the public out of Stoke Lodge? Are you just landbanking now?

Stoke Lodge. As it was. As it should be. As it will be again. This is what Cotham School doesn’t get. It’s not #Just4Cotham. It’s for all of us, for always. And we’ll make sure it stays that way.

Papers for Public Rights of Way & Greens Cttee show Bristol City Council Chief Exec wrote to Cotham School saying the reasonable thing to do wd be to open gates to Stoke Lodge in the 95% of time they are not using it. Cotham School leadership apparently don’t care about that.

This is not an April Fool but it deserves to be: in what we can only assume to be a misguided bid to support a narrative about dog mess at Stoke Lodge, certain individuals have been planting fake poo. Beyond stupid, and deserves the mocking it’s getting. youtu.be/_IewZRMVLOU?si…

This is on You Tube. April fool? youtu.be/_IewZRMVLOU?si…

Ludicrous enough for April fool but no, this is real! A ‘mud flinger’ has taken their job description too literally and the sudden appearance of well over 100 bags over the last couple of weeks was investigated and found to contain Earth. Who might benefit from doing that? 🤔

Lots of reaction on local social media today to the absurd but true story of bags of fake poo being planted at Stoke Lodge, plus coverage here from Bristol24/7. #dirtytricks bristol247.com/news-and-featu…

The list of ways Cotham School gets things wrong at Stoke Lodge just continues to grow:

Quote from our FB page about this & Cotham School’s apply for 8 CCTV towers at Stoke Lodge: “At a time when parents everywhere are being told there is no money for things like proper SEND support, etc. I would be furious if my children’s school was squandering money like this.”

On Nextdoor Remember the Spur of Spite? Following complaints to Bristol City Council that it was unlawful on multiple grounds - blocking a wildlife corridor, cutting through the root zones of protected trees and breaching health & safety regulations - Cotham School has removed it.
