Southwark review of Secondary School Admissions.

[citizenED]

If you have been following any of the discussions about Admissions to Secondary schools in Southwark - and it isn't for the faint-hearted - or simply if you have a child in Primary school or even younger then you might want to know that Southwark Council is review their procedures. There is a questionnaire to fill in here, though you only have unitl 13th MAy to do it.

Thank you for finding this elsewhere and posting it citizenED

Yes, thanks so much Citizen Ed, am glad to have somewhere to vent! Am quite chippy about feeling poorly served by Southwark, as I am right in the tip of Southwark - my kids closest schools were mainly Lewisham primaries (one of which they now attend), and out local doctor's surgery is in Lambeth! At least my local secondary school is in Southwark....oh yeah, it operates this weird banding lottery system that means some kid in Islington has as much chance as getting in as my kids - 1.09 kilometers as crow flies! Surely state schools should be local state schools...

Will save the rest for the questionnaire - thanks again CitizenEd!

I've just clicked the link - I think it's relevant to note that the questionnaire seems to be for any "parents/carers whose children have applied for a Southwark secondary school place", whether or not they actually live in Southwark.

I can't get further than the first page from work though.

[Southwark Council]

The questionnaire has now been fixed and you can access it here until Friday 13 May.

To clarify, the questionnaire is for anybody who applied for a secondary school place in Southwark - whether you are a Southwark resident or not.
