We are looking to find places for our children at Judith Kerr Primary for the 2020-2021 school year. Does anyone know how and when they assign any open spaces for the 2020-2021 school year? We are moving from the US so unfamiliar with how it all works and eager to secure a place as soon as we can, if possible. We have called and emailed the school but to no avail so trying other avenues. Thanks in advance for your help.

Maybe try through Southwark?

In the higher years(age 9-11) I reckon you're more likely to get a place. I think the classes are (more) full lower down, but good luck. Families do tend to move away fairly often, so places will/should come up.

I would suggest contacting Southwark. You may not get an immediate response as Secondary school allocations came out last night. [email protected]


If applying under the distance rather than lottery criteria, you would need to have moved into the area. If one child secures a place, then any siblings would go higher in the waiting list. Your likelihood of securing places for your children depends on where you move to and the school year. Places tend to come up more frequently over the school summer holiday than at other times. You always have the ability to appeal. You are less likely to win an appeal for years reception to year 2 due to the tighter rules on pupil numbers for infant classes. If you have special reasons for wanting this school over others, that helps an appeal eg your children are German speakers.

    • Loki hasn’t been seen since Sunday. He’s all grey but if you look closely he has faint stripes on the top of his tail. No pedigree, just very much loved. About 4 years old. No collar, but chipped.  please keep an eye out for him. We live on Barry Road SE22
    • I went in here the other day. The fruit is all really good - ripe and fresh. They also sell good bread (and croissants and pastries) from a independent bakery, the name of which I've forgotten. 🤦 The prices (which are marked) are not cheap but they are fair imo. Comparable to the specialist fruit shop on Lordship Lane (Brothers?) for really good quality. It's similar prices to Simply Fresh - but Simply Fresh's fruit and veg is very poor. Beaten about and tasteless. Sainsbury's is certainly cheaper. IMVHO they're a good addition to the Dulwich Village "retail offer".
    • Went actually for the first time yesterday. Terrific food, so was well pleased. Agree with previous poster to support.
    • Hi!! Moving house soon so looking for some cardboard boxes. Anyone know of any shops or cafes that may be giving some away?
