For the Sept 2022 intake, the 'longest distance' for Charter ED was 964m when offers were first made in March 2022. But of course, not all these kids accept the offer, and some instead go to private school etc. So by school start in September 2022 (i.e. when the kids actually started), it had gone from 964m to 1267m. See attachment for how these two circles look.


This was for September 2022, and the circles will change for subsequent years of course. But if anything, the 'longest distance' should increase in upcoming years, as the intake increases (it was 210 in Sept 2022, but will be 240 in future), and since the demographics of East Dulwich are changing (there are projected to be fewer kids starting secondary school in coming years, compared with Sept 2022 when there were several primary school bulge classes etc).


So I think the top half of Barry Rd should be very comfortable. And the bottom half of Barry Rd should be fine too, but may have to wait until post-March to be offered a place. And if you're applying in the distance future (i.e. not for Sept 2024) then it will hopefully get even more comfortable.

Oops - and hot of the press - the further distance offered on 1st March 2023 (for the Sept 2023 intake) was 1396 metres! So it's gone up substantially. And will presumably go up even more before Sept 2023. So Barry Road (top or bottom) is almost certainly a safe bet for the future, as I imagine the longest distance will continue to increase. Good news for people of the area :) . Here is 1396 metres on a map:

From ND  Charter website:- 

The furthest distance we offered a place for our year 7 September 2023 was 921 meters.

As of the 1st March 2024 the furthest distance we have offered a place for September 2024 intake is currently at 827m. (So on 1st round offers).

This thread hasn't been updated for a while. For the Sept 2025 intake (i.e. the kids starting this week), the Charter East Dulwich school website says the 'longest distance' offered was 1700m (as of 1st May 2025 - I guess it might have increased a bit more after 1st May 2025). Below is a map of 1700m - but parents should still apply even if outside this circle (the distance has been increasing each year, as local demographics change etc)

For those considering applying for Sept 2026, this recent Ofsted report is very encouraging - https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50249504 - it basically says the school would have been graded as 'Outstanding', but it was not a 'graded inspection' so they are not officially allowed to say that. Obviously Ofsted has its limitations (!), but the text in this report is very complimentary. 

And the recent GCSE and A level results are the best yet:

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
