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.

There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor.
