smb12 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 HiDoes anyone know anything about this year's catchment area for DKH school? My son is at nursery there but has not got a reception place from Sept despite the fact we live 3 minutes away. I have calculated from the school's new entrance on Grove Hill Road to our house and it comes in at 237 yards (217 metres distance) so I am absolutely stunned we havent got a place. Very, very upset about it too. In fact, we didnt get any of our preferences and we are now in a bit of a blackhole as we have not been allocated anywhere else as of yet. I spoke to the school this morning and they informed me that Southwark had been anticipating an oversubscription problem this year (sounds a bit like groundhog day reading through previous year's threads though) due to an exceptionally high birthrate in my son's year so they have set up some forum's over the next few weeks to discuss the issue with parents. Not one to be cynical, but I would have thought more forward planning would have been more useful. We are appealing, so if anyone has info on the current DKH catchment area - I would be eternally grateful. I would also appreciate any views from our local councillor (James?) on this issue of oversubcribed schools this year. I have contacted Southwark, and the response was that they or may not get back to me within 3 days :((((( Many thanks,A very stressed mum!

BeccaL Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Might be worth posting this in the Family Room instead - lots of other parents on there in similar situation. Distance from the new entrance may not be fully relevant as there will be a "specified" entrance they use to calculate the distance so it's one set point for each school.
