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.

      Christmas Cheese!

      Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive! Yay, so I can get discounted mouse nibbled cheese still! Oooo, now I do love a Stinking Bishop. It actually offends my stepmum by it's stinkiness but luckily she is not one of the attendees at this particular gathering.  This is blooming genius. It's actually my partner who has the biggest issue with buying in plastic so I will have to hide the wrappers from him!

      I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.

      William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
