Thank you all for your useful replies, much appreciated. Every school we have visited has reiterated that due to COVID, Brexit and the huge decline in births over the past years (SE London especially) that it really is a 'buyers market' for school places this year. Southwark alone currently has 1000 empty reception spaces with many schools looking to drop to a 1 form entry in 2023 if there are not enough children to fill 2 classrooms, hence catchment areas this year will be bigger than previous years. I guess this is lucky for us in a way but there are so many good schools in the area that it all becomes a little overwhelming! The Belham and Lyndhurst are both equidistance for us and we like them both so would be happy with either. Great to hear good feedback for both - thank you!
