Tomorrow letters detailing primary school allocations will be sent out 1st class and will be available online from 5pm.


If you're dissapointed with your families allocation please get in touch. Between 17 April and 2 May when people confirm places and waiting lists do shift.


Last year in Southwark 78% of families received their first choice primary school.


Southwark will as always will also provide support for families unhappy with their allocation.


Of the 145 families who didnt get one of their six preferences 72 came from the wider East Dulwich area.


Fingers crossed for everyone.

To add to what James has said,


Liam White, the School Preference Advisor holds one to one sessions with parents to help them out if they are unhappy with their allocations.

Waiting lists do shift quite a lot between offer day and September, so don't panic if in the first round your are unhappy with the school you have been allocated.


Good luck everybody for tomorrow,

Renata

Thanks for the advice, Renata. I will email Liam on the address you provided. We have not been offered any of our 6 choices - instead a school in West Norwood that I haven't heard of and won't be able to get to (far too far to walk and not on a bus route). Feeling pretty shafted - we only live 500-odd metres from our first choice.

If anyone has any further advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

me too. but not as close to goodrich, but close to 4 other schools amd get one 3.5 miles away that is trick on bus and then long walk !

I'm not affected this year but would advise not to panic. You are normally placed on the waiting lists for schools that were higher up your choice. Also, there is a huge amount of movement, particularly in the next two weeks as people accept/decline places but it continues right up until Sept.

the worst that happens is you go to a school temporarily and change later as we did (beginning of year two) as London has such a transcient population moving schools is quite normal. Hold on it should be ok but may be nail biting enroute xx

    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
