Landells Road - Primary schools

50% of the intake is through foundation places and 50% is open. I think..

I think its allocates 40% church places and 60% non church places, so lots of non christians.

Afraid it doesn't work like that.If you don't put your closest school as first, and then don't get in to your first choice, because it's not your closest school, you could end up miles away

Thats what i thought fushia. I could end up getting neither Goodrich or Heber if i dont get into dulwich and Village.

Heber is less than 400 mts, Goodrich about 500, and DV is about 800. Thats the order i think i need to put down, even though the actual order of preference is the opposite! What is making decision more difficult is i know that the intake is increasing at DV next year due to the permanent expansion. Effectively , there is 1 more reception class.....which surely increases my chances of getting in?

Southwark should be able to give you the stats re pupils admitted under each criteria and distance.. you can also check if choosing DVI (not a community school) as first choice would mean choosing Heber, say as second, you suffered in the Heber admissions process (closest comm school) because it was second choice.

Goodrich is bigger than Heber, (though Heber had a bulge this year) so it's worth looking at the facts and figures...

If you get the stats, do share!

If you want to know what stats to ask for, look at Lewisham's website. They publish everything! I would recommend applying online. I live on the border of southwark and lewisham so two years ago, I applied to four in southwark and four in lewisham as they don't talk to each other.
