It's definitely a good school. Can't help about catchment areas though I believe that the Lewisham website has a tool for finding out how far you are from any Lewisham school; the school info will tell you how far it has taken any child within any of the Lewisham bandings in the past year. It will also explain the Lewisham banding system (very simply: kids do tests in Y5 which allocate them into different ability bands, and Lewisham schools - and the majority of other schools - which do not operate other entrance criteria - will aim to take an equal number of students within each band in order to get a genuinely comprehensive intake.


Sydenham Girls (the state one not the private one)is definitely worth checking out, by the way.

Would say still generally well thought of and has a tight catchment area with an additional limited number of musical scholarships each year (approx 12?. Check out their website for specific admission criteria but it is one school that generally you need to live within spitting distance of.

    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around. 
    • Some of us oldies would associate Grove with the old Grove Vale School (which I went to in the 1950s)
    • The toilets at this spot in the park have been vandalised to such an extent that they are now closed.
    • Hello! I'm looking for 2-3 baby gates I can borrow from 17th August - 6th September for a visitor.  Does anyone have any I could use? Thank you!
