localmum1 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Dear all,Does anyone have any idea of the broad catchment area of Lyndhurst Primary School on Camberwell Grove? The school cannot confirm the furthest distance they have admitted from. I live in Herne Hill and just want to gauge whether the school is even a remote possibilty for September 2012.Thanks Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/16687-lyndhurst-primary-catchment/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
cff9 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 hi localmum1, we live approx 450m from the school but missed out this year. We weren't even anywhere close, I know a lot of parents much closer to the school who also didn't get a place.The catchment this year was tiny, but who's to say what it will be next year.

localmum1 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Thanks so much for getting back to me - really helpful. I'm a bit stuck to be honest as our local primary doesn't look good and I'm finding the prospect of private too daunting...

Surely that is not the primary school you are referring to?

localmum1 Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 It depends which part of Herne hill you are in and unfortunately we're on the wrong side for the village school. I believe the furthest they have ever taken is 700m... Just looking at other options and wondered whether Lyndhurst might be any easier. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be.

sanity girl Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 When I spoke to the village infants (pre 2011 admissions), they said the furthest distance for 2010 admissions was 850 metres, so worth a try? Also, what about Rosendale? Whereabouts in Herne Hill are you?

craigy Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Rosendale offers didn't go further than about 600 metres or so in the first round this year..

localmum1 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 It all feels like a bit of a nightmare. I think we may end up looking at moving out of London altogether!
