What's the betting Southwark website crashes at 5? Yup - good luck everybody!! My husband will kill me if our son doesn't get a place - given that we moved from North London specifically to make sure he could go to a decent primary school... (And a few other reasons.... ;-) )

To confirm, if you applied online, you can access the results of your application today, the letters are going out by post today and therefore those of you who applied by post should hear tomorrow. If your email says you haven't been successful (this is a computer generated email), it means you didn't get a place at one of your chosen schools. You should receive a letter in the post with the name of the school you have been allocated.


If you need assistance following the allocation, please contact me (email is best) or one of the other councillors or Liam White the School Preference Advisor, [email protected]


Good Luck,


Renata

WOW! Can I ask what your first choice was, i.e. which school is going to leave many, many people disappointed? I can only imagine that would be a non-sibling community place at DVI...

reneet - its because you live outside this year's catchment area for your higher placed schools. Stay calm though - you automatically go on the waiting list for your other schools, and if you ring admissions you can find out where you are on the list, so if you have a chance of being offered a place during clearing.


Last year we were offered our 6th place school, but ended up at our first place school after eventually being offered a place in late July, so it is still possible to get one of your other choices.

Results out about 40 mins ago. We did get our choice but were siblings so likely... To those not getting their first choice you are automatically put on the waiting list for your higher choice schools and there won't be a lot more they can tell you until people have accepted or rejected their places which there are normally about two weeks from offer and then waiting lists get more meaningful.


Good luck to all. Our first child we didn't get our first choice and my daughter attended a school she was sort of happy at but not thriving. Two school years later( last year) we were offered our first choice and chose to move but only just in time for her younger sister to go there ( and with a lot of wrangling with southwark admissions) and they started last Sept. now very happy but having missed out quite a bit of detail this is the only time we've done the process and it's gone our way. The first two were stressful and difficult but we're now happy. Chances are it will be for you too. Please take heart if you don't get your choice, you'll likely get there eventually

I get a bit confused - do you have to reject your choice to get on waiting lists and if not, how do the places free up? In other words, why would anyone reject the place they've been assigned before knowing they have another place? (barring moving house of private school admission)

      Council "weed" removal

      I have no agenda just a simple response expressing my thoughts and experience.

      Council "weed" removal

      By Sue · Posted

      Just as one example, the grass in a least some of  the tree pits in Ulverscroft Road appears to have been sprayed. If it's not the council who has done it, then I wonder if someone is trying to kill the trees 😭 although I doubt if that would work, as the council have sprayed tree pits in the past (ignoring handwritten notices by my then very young grandchildren asking them not to spray as they had sowed flower seeds there) 🤬 Grass in the pavement nearby appears to have been neither sprayed nor scraped out. I'm quite confused.

      They aren't. They are removing them manually, scraping and cutting them out. I've seen them doing it on my road and surrounding roads. I can't imagine that they would have different methods in different parts of East Dulwich.

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      By Insuflo · Posted

      I see. But as I read it, Tesco would still need the agreement of the owners/ leaseholder to submit proposals, so would need Poundland’s cooperation? I suppose we’ll have to wait while this plays out. There’s applications re this site on the Southwark planning portal dating back over 70 years. In 1954, Woolworth’s applied to convert the original 4 shops here (Nos 29-35) into one Woolies but the council refused because the flats above the shops would be lost and there was a local housing shortage following the war. Small businesses being displaced by big chains on Lordship Lane was already a trend back then.
