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.

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
