I am also looking at schools Lolamaxx, and having been to DVIS myself, would love to send my son there in 2019 from East Dulwich. Carebear - may I ask how far away you live from DVIS? I'm on the Dulwich side of Lordship Lane, 1 km as the crow flies from the Lake Building, and keeping my fingers crossed! I'm also looking at Harris and Heber, St John's and St Clements, and Judith Kerr. Any insights from people who have been through this process would be much appreciated!
