This is the first year of a fixed national offer day for primary allocations. It will be the 16th April from this year onward (like March 1st is National Offer day for secondary). If it falls at the weekend, it will be the next working day.

Can't believe I'm here with a nearly reception child already... Remember reading these threads when my boy was weeks old...


Saila, wonder if worth changing the title to Southwark and Lewisham as lots of people will be affected by both boroughs.


I'll be shocked if we don't get our first choice as it's 3-form entry and we live very close by... But you never can tell and it's a very kiddie place near me these days!

  • 2 weeks later...

To my knowledge no schools in the ED area were assigned to have a bulge when the brochure went live last summer. This may change as the number crunching is still on-going. This year, Dulwich Wood (formerly Langbourne) and Bessemer Grange both have their extra intake also Judith Kerr is on the CAF system (it wasn't last year). In the formulation for spaces locally, 60 spaces have been counted for Harris Free School ED. The problem will be that as the location was unknown until recently, the Harris spaces weren't on the CAF system which means that there are likely to be 60 families holding two offers. Funding for those 60 places can't be provided twice, to Harris and to the LA to fund bulge classes. Therefore, there is likely to be a bigger shakedown of places in the area than usual.

Yes, the emails will be sent out at 5pm and letters will arrive the next day. Southwark Admissions will be open that evening. Unfortunately schools are closed for the Easter Holidays. After a fortnight there should be some movement on waiting lists after initial responses from parents eg those who are going into the independent sector or holding Harris ED and another offer.


Local Councillors will be available too to give you assistance.

Good luck everyone

    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
    • My initial thought was whether they would keep the East Dulwich Road site given how close they are - but then they've only just re-done it so I assume will be planning to run both. 
    • I hope witnesses are phoning 999 to report a crime in progress.
