Should be within catchment for Goose Green as its very close and probably St John's and Bessemer too.


However popularity of schools can change quickly and catchments can shrink or expand depending upon a number of factors including bulge classes and their effect on nearby schools easing the pressure on their places, subsequent shrinking of places available due to greater number of sibling priority places following a bulge.


St Johns is also a church school and has 50% church places for children whose parents are practising Christians so if you fulfilled that criteria the catchment would probably be wider.


I would have thought that it is a good location to buy in terms of getting into a good local primary school.


Good luck

We're in Lacon and Goose Green and St John's are the closest. I agree with Mrs Lotte: preferred schools change over the years and whereas Heber seems to be the most popular choice at the mo', it could be GG in a few years time. GG is certainly on the up.


BTW, Lacon is a great location. Walking distance to the station and the park, and spitting distance to LL and the market. It's also very quiet and the police assured us that the drive-by shooting a year or so back was not connected to any of the road's residents.


Good luck and if you buy, welcome!

No joke. My wife and I returned home one evening to find Lacon Road sealed off and the police on hands and knees with torches searching for (I presume) casings. Turned out a few shots had been fired (at what I'm not sure) from the back of a scooter. There's a thread on here somewhere (sorry, haven't worked out how to link to threads).

Didn't here much about it after that night, save a visit from the police asking if we saw anything. No denial or confirmation that the perp was shooting at a particular person or house. They did reassure us that they believed those involved were not local.


All part of living in ED, LM!


motorbird83 - pls don't think for a minute that this incident is a general reflection of ED or Lacon. Both are friendly and relatively safe in my experience.

Thanks Chillaxed. You've made me slightly nervous but haven't quite put me off. I already live locally so know the area is generally quite safe by SE London standards. Glad to hear there are people happy with Goose Green living on the road. I supposed the new primary schools that are being proposed on the hospital site might also cover this area in future too so it seems better covred than I realised.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By malumbu · Posted

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Dell Autos is closing tomorrow

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
