yestose22 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Hi Thinking about secondary schools down the line, and just wondering if anyone can tell me what are the local catholic schools or grammar schools commutable for children (travelling by themselves) from East Dulwich / Forest Hill ? And how far the catchment areas of North Dulwich charter and the new east dulwich charter currently extend?

Dodo1 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 HiAll depends if you have a son or daughter.Best one for Girls would be Coloma in Croydon but to be eligible you have to be baptised within 3 months (could be wrong).If you have a boy the 2 best schools are the Oratory and Cardinal Vaughan. Again very strict criteria to get in but worth it. CVMS- this year had 124 places but I gather there is a waiting list of 600! CVMC is The Sunday Times School of the Year (no surprise if you visit you will see why).

flocker spotter Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 And St Thomas the Apostle in Nunhead for boys. Closest Catholic school for girls is probably the school opposite the Imperial War museum.

Growlybear Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 St Olave's and Newstead Wood in Orpington are the two Bromley grammar schools, and are both a fairly easy journey. The PTA organise a coach service from Crystal Palace with several pick up points on the way, but it's a straightforward train journey from West Dulwich, Sydenham Hill, or Penge East.

Bovine Juice Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 My son went to St Olave's - we live in Penge - and boys travelled there from West Dulwich.
