Getting to Bessemer

[BellendenBear]

We have just been offered and accepted a place at Bessemer Grange. I am now thinking about the logistics of getting there. Does anyone know of any shortcuts? I'm thinking of ways of cutting through from Sainsburys / DKH or from Champion Hill.

Thanks

Hi i',m sorry I can't be much help other than from my direction all the buses (176. 185, 40 ) take you down to the Sainsbury then cut across the little ally . But think you are coming the other way so maybe that is no help at all!!

But just wanted to say - lucky you - I loved the school when I looked around it. I am praying I get offered a place before September but not sure with these waiting lists. Can I ask what position you were if you don't mind me asking?

I didn't get any of my school choice and starting to lose all hope.

Sorry to have crashed this thread. x

If you cut through the bike trail, across greendale playing field(near sainsburys) and follow that through to the end, it'll take you behind Bessemer, so when you reach the end, turn right and walk for 30 secs and you'l see a little alleyway which leads straight to Bessemer school. Hope this helps

At the top of St Francis Rd there's a cut through to Dulwich Hamlet football club. Walk past the stadium AMD up the alley until you get to Greendale . Turn right onto Greendale and almost immediately left into another alley and Bessemer's on your left. I takes about 10 min or less with a scooting 4 year old.

Thanks everyone for the replies.

kamath - I think we were 5th on the list a week or so after places were allocated in April. We seem to have stayed around 5th/6th since then although I have only been checking every 3-4 weeks. Yes, we are very lucky, we were originally given our 4th choice and now have our first. I loved Bessemer when I looked round, just starting to think about the practicalities of it all. Good luck.
