Primary school recommendation

[allure79]

I am new in town and I am looking for some recommendation on primary school please. Thanks

It really depends on which schools are in your catchment. Most schools in the area are really good though. If you search on here you'll find lots of opinions on the various schools. Probably best to visit all the schools in your catchment and go from there

Try visiting the Ofsted website, enter your postcode and you'll see a list of primary schools in your area, starting

with the closest. The reports will only give you a snapshot view of the school, but they might help you decide which ones you may like to visit and consider applying for. 'Catchments' vary each year, but it's usually wise to choose within 1-2 kilometres of your address to have a realistic chance of getting a place.

Is 1-2km a little hopeful? I thought most of the popular ones were nearer 500-750m catchments.

Hi allure, welcome to the area.

I would suggest you look at

http://www.southwark.gov.uk/schools-and-education/school-admissions/primary-admissions/types-of-primary-schools-in-southwark

click on the link on starting primary school. This is for 2018 entry, but will give you some information about Southwark's primary schools.

with that, you may want to try some decent discounted rates from https://www.reecoupons.com/categories/back-to-school . This can get you many things you need for your school

There?s a big profile of Goodrich in the latest issue of the Dulwich Diverter.

It is my daughter?s school and we love it.
