Hello family roomers

I was wondering if any of you have children at St John's & St Clement's, and if so, how close to school do you live? I'd like to apply for a non-church place for my son, but we live about 600 metres from the school. Is it worth applying or do we not stand a chance? Apparently there won't be a bulge class for the next few years.

Thanks for any advice you can give me!

We live about 500m from the school and my children go there, on non church places (although my son got in over 6 years ago and so my other children have sibling places).I'd just say go for it. You have nothing to lose. Its impossible to tell year to year so if its your top choce just put it top of your list. If you don't get it you can wait on the waiting list until something comes up.


Hope that helps.

You've got to be 'in it to win it' if you don't apply you will never know unless you have 6 other schools you are dead set on.


Definitely worth having a try.


Mine go there on non-church places but I'm not sure how many metres away we are (guessing approx 200m). Like frimleyg my eldest started prior to the current pressure on school places.


I would say though there are lots of siblings coming through who will be ahead of new non-church children on the criteria list :(

I live really close to the school (about 3 houses away) but I can definitely say that it's still worth applying from estimating where my Son's friends live. You have to try these things anyway! But I've always been really happy with the school, the Teachers I've come across have always been great and supportive and the atmosphere within the classes has also always been really nice with the children playing nicely together.

      Police appeal: Monday, 25 August – Assault between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs

      https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-hunt-attack-south-london-b1247389.html Apologies if already posted on here - did look, couldn't find anything... 'The Metropolitan Police have appealed for help to find a man after a woman was seriously injured in an unprovoked attack in south London. The woman, in her 20s, was assaulted on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich at around 4.45pm on Monday August 25. She was treated by paramedics for injuries to her face and her jaw was broken in the attack. The victim was then taken to hospital and she continues to be supported by specialist officers. Officers are now searching for the suspect and are urging members of the public to come forward if they have information. He is described as a black man in his 30s or 40s with balding hair. He was wearing dark clothing during the attack. He is said to have approached the woman while she was by herself before swearing at her and then hitting her in the face. Detective constable Charlotte Kerr, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are working hard to find the person we believe is responsible for this senseless and unprovoked attack. “While we continue our enquiries, we hope our increased neighbourhood police presence will offer some reassurance to women and girls throughout the local area. “If you saw anything on Monday, 25 August – particularly between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs - do not hesitate to get in touch with us. “No matter how small you think your information is, it may be the key that unlocks our investigation.” Any witnesses or anyone who can help identify the suspect is asked to please contact the Met via 101, quoting 5018/25AUG or 01/7897951/25. Those who wish to share information anonymously can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'

      We live a little further down, on Pymers Mead. Traffic is terrible (always has been, but worse since the introduction of the Southwark LTNs). It's mainly the school drop -- traffic is noticeably lighter once the private schools break up  Have a few friends who live on that side of CR backing on to the train line. None has had any major complaints and the gardens on that stretch are fairly long, so you're not right on the line. Some have kids who go to Charter North -- its catchment defintely extends to Croxted Road. Other state secondaries nearby are Elmgreen and, of course, Kingsdale, although that doesn't have a catchment -- pure lottery
