Next year the school will have a smaller 'catchment area' than this year as it bulged (60 places rather than the usual 30). I have heard it's good. If you are looking at Catholic schools in the area, both St Francesca Cabrini (Peckham Rye Ward) and St Anthony's (East Dulwich) have good Ofsted reports and obtained excellent SATs results in 2011, in both schools 90 something percent got level 4+ for Eng, Maths,Science and over half of the children at both schools got level 5 in Eng/Maths.

I know one mum who took her daughter out of SWOY reception class as she found it too strict - her daughter was coming home crying. Afraid I don't know much more than that - it was a passing conversation, so not a lot of context. I was surprised to hear that as we thought it seemed really good when we visited it. Maybe just the wrong mix of child and school (or parent and school)!

hope you're Catholic because even with the bulge only 3 were non-Catholics and they were all Christians with supported applications.


36 spots went to either siblings or parish children this year, so definitely strong competition even for those practicing in the area.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
