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

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
