Charter, Harris Boys, Kingsdale, Sydenham Girls. If you want Charter as a co-ed, you will need to be very careful indeed where you move to as the catchment seems to shrink every year and many ED applicants were disappointed this year. Kingsdale admission is by random allocation (ballot) unless your child gets one of the top sports or music scholarships.

Yes its been like that for a number of years, but they give out more scholarships than 15% places so there's still a lottery element. Their admissions policy seriously needs clarity

The way it works is that you rank your orders in preference, schools don't know the order. If you are offered a place at say your 3rd choice, then you automatically go on the waiting list for choices 1 and 2, there is a lot of movement as people refuse places, some may be moving area, or choosing private, this movement continues through the first term. You will not automatically be placed on the waiting list of choices below your ranking but you can call them and ask to be placed on their waiting list.

    • Hi Anthony  Have you tried the website Fatllama? 
    • Might be worth pointing out it might be a good idea to be suspicious of anyone who comes near you that is wearing a mask. Covid is a thing of the past In the same area I have seen several young lads wearing masks on bikes, they slow down when going past anyone 'fiddling' with mobile phones. they move on if its an old model that is not worth stealing. There have been several incidents of movile phone thefts around Goose Green. YES  some people  are immune deficient  and perhaps still feel they need to wear a mask although I question how nessesary that is in the open air.
    • Should Estates agents also take some responsibility for this.  In our case it feels like they have been acting on behalf of the buyer not the seller even though we are paying then for their service.  Just to be clear I have reassured the buyer whose house we are buying off that we still pay them what we promised. When this is all over should I states which Estate agent is involved?? 
    • Thank you Sue.  I am not on the App but your post signalled me to the FAQs and I can contact Admin there.
