Does any one know of which calculator the schools use when measuring distance between home and school postcode. Or could anyone recommend a good online calculator.

Busy going through the secondary school process and trying to work out which schools we might have a chance to get into.


Thanks

Google maps can give an indication (it lets you calculate straight-line distance) but it's just an indication. The website and admission policy of each school should detail what system is used - typically the council's. Many councils will tell you the distance between an address and a school if you ask. Not sure about Southwark. Do post back on what you find.
Beware Kingsdale is not on distance. Other schools do not do straightforward distance base but will split applicants into differing academic bands (based on their own tests or year 5 reports from your primary school) and will then offer a greater proportion of places to the academic bands with the most applicants - it could be that someone gets a place who lives further away than you but because they are in a different academic band. Good luck with it all.

    • We recently had a new bathroom and whole new flooring laid throughout our Victorian lower ground property. Lukas and his team ripped out the old and fitted everything with precision.   Lukas communicated with us along the process and found root causes of some other damp problems we had noticed but could never get to the bottom of! No job was too big or small. His team arrived promptly everyday and were so professional and polite, even tidying and cleaning up when they had finished.   We will definitely use this company again gon the future as we have had many experiences with shoddy builders in the past! Cant recommend them enough. Everything was completed on time AND for a reasonable price.    info@landl-build.com     https://www.houzz.co.uk/professionals/design-and-build/landl-building-and-maintenance-pfvwgb-pf~631498617
