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.

    • Seems to be back on now although pressure reduced especially for hot water via boiler. Hopefully I can have a shower in the morning.
    • It’s far too hot. Dogs should not be out and you’re right to post this.  
    • Agree that you have to be so careful dogs in this heat… but please dont judge so quickly.  Its one thing if you see a dog at midday being thrown the ball endlessly, but if you see a dog en route / somewhere - You dont know if that dog was being walked to the vet for an emergency appointment.. or taken to a friend’s house that is cooler etc.  And if they live in a flat, they might desperately need to be taken out for a quick pee / poo ! 
    • I know,  absolutely crazy.  A dog has never died because it didn't have a walk, but dogs do die if walked in this heat. Perhaps the owners should put on a thick fur coat, take their shoes off and jog round the pavements, and see how that feels! 🤬
