Alleyns’ junior school at 7+

[Coffeeandtea]

Hello,

Looking for some advise. We are currently based in Wandsworth and would like our child to go to Alleyns at 7. Would be grateful to get some advice. 

1) Do most kids in the junior school live locally or are there quite a few that live further away? Are there many activities after school?

2) drop off and parking around the school- is this easy to do or super busy and impossible to park?

 

Many thanks for reading.

There is a fair spread of local children around East/West Dulwich, Dulwich Village and Herne Hill and then other children also further out to e.g. Clapham and Beckenham.

Parking very close will be difficult, some parents get there 20/30 minutes early to park near to the entrance.  If you’re willing to walk then within a 10 minute walk distance not so hard. However, Southwark are currently proposing to bring in a borough wide CPZ so I’d be factoring in what your plan B will be for commuting if you manage to get a space and that happens.

I’d also recommend trying the drive during term time at the appropriate times to see how long it takes from Wandsworth as the South Circular is pretty horrendous!
