Does anybody know where I can find primary school admissions furthest distances? Southwark council has published the figures for this year's intake, but I want to see what the trends are for my nearest schools so I thought it would be good to have the distances from a few years back too

Here's the Starting School in Southwark 2014/15 booklet that should have distances for this year (p. 18): http://www.southwark.gov.uk/downloads/download/2483/primary_school_admissions


If you google "Starting School in Southwark" and a different year the old version of this same booklet should come up.


Same for Lewisham.

This tool is slightly frustrating (but is the one that is consistently recommended) - if you live on a long road, your postcode just narrows it down to the houses on your side of the street. So when you put a postcode into this mapping tool, it just picks a point on the middle of our road, which is quite long and we live right at the end.

Can anyone enlighten me as to how to use it more accurately?!

Just worked out.... Scroll down the page to below map, click on 'measure distance tool'


You can then plot exact crow flies distance by touching map ( ie your house location) the adding second point as school location. Much more accurate


Press clear last point or clear map to try again


More accurate than just postcode

    • However, some would particularly like to avoid reviews of the 'there are far too many mice'; 'the cakes are deteriorating badly' nature. If you consider that a 'Negative Nelly' response. My experience was that the hot drinks and the varieties of e.g. teas on offer, were generally a positive element. As were the staff serving. 
    • The hare krishna restaurant is called Govindas and still going strong in Soho Street, a different establishment to the one that used to be (still is?) in Hanway Street. I must go back to Govindas some time
    • Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ? 
    • Sadly, a lot of businesses didn't invite reviews on the EDF at that time due to a number of "negative nellies" that would take delight in posting unfavourable comments, often despite never being to the business in question.  No matter how good the place was, some posters would find fault that wasn't there "don't lile the colour of the bidet set in the private bathroom, avocado 😅" Can hardly blame businesses at the time for not wanting reviews on here, thankfully that has mostly changed now.
