Hi


Can anyone advise as to the typical Primary Schools allocated to children who live in the houses at the top of Peckham Rye Park (Scutari, Mundania, Therapia, Homestall etc) please?


Just trying to get a feel for which Primary schools are generally allocated.


Thanks in advance for any insight.

Ivydale's just had an ofsted as well - so worth looking out for that .. and taking it with something of a pinch of salt. Much better to go and visit schools and get a feel for which might suit your child. Ofsted is a snapshot that with all its pros and cons can only tell you so much.

Absolutely, thanks HP. Just trying to get a guide on which schools are likely to be allocated really as we live in another part of ED at the moment and considering buying a house that side but don't know the catchments. Would definitely visit schools before putting them on any preference form.

Hi,

I'm not familiar with the schools at the East side of Peckham Rye - it depends how far up Therapia/mundania - at the forest hill road end you may get into Fairlawn, Goodrich, Heber and most certainly St Francis Cabrini. At the Homestall Road end it's possibly less likely.

We are on Dovedale Road and our son goes to Heber (although we got in on a sibling place), that said there are children at Heber (in reception and upwards) who got in on distance from roads such as Shelbury, Scutari and Peckham Rye (by the Harris Boys school). It might be useful to look at the last place distance offers of all the schools around the area.

From friends who live on there the schools Kristymac1 listed were certainly the ones they were looking at - though you could be looking at waiting list places rather than first round - more stressful during the wait but doesn't make any difference once you have the place obviously!
Thank you goldilocks, that is useful. Out of interest did they all get relatively local schools eg in East Dulwich/Forest Hill area etc? Am slightly paranoid we might end up with one too far away like Camberwell and beyond? Any insight greatly received.

My friends got Heber at the end of the holidays.


Depending on how old your kids are now, there are an excess of primary school places locally so it should be fine. Goodrich is 3 form entry, plus the new Harris is really changing the catchments of other schools - also think Ivydale has expanded. You might not necessarily get your first choice, but you should get somewhere.


A bigger consideration for me re that end of East Dulwich would be secondary places if you didn't want single sex. If you're hoping its your forever home it might be something to consider - if its the next 5 years or so, maybe it doesn't matter.

My daughter is very happy and thriving at Ivydale. They have just had the results of their Ofstead inspection published earlier this week. You should be able to read it on the ofstead website. It's been rated as a overall good school with outstanding development for the children.

    • Calling All Private Chefs – We’re Looking for You! We’re currently looking for talented private chefs in and around East Dulwich (and across London) for a number of exciting upcoming bookings and events. If you’re a chef, or know someone who is, we’d love to hear from you. Please drop your name, contact info, and a quick intro below or message directly. Thanks! Anthony Bird & Co Events
    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
