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

    • I think the only way to sort this is to ban loud fireworks for private sale (and preferably ban fireworks altogether except for public displays). I don't know whether that has implications I'm not aware of eg I have no idea how many people are involved in firework manufacture.
    • Very happy to recommend Tommy Rooney's excellent work again. He's been servicing my boiler for years now, but this time he swiftly fixed a leaky radiator valve. I put out a call on Friday and it was repaired - and improved - by Monday evening. I asked him if he had an opinion about my other radiators, and he reassured me as he pointed out the leaky bathroom rad was a non-standard length, which was why it caused problems. There followed a brief but detailed history of improvements in regulations for valves and fittings over the years, so that I could understand precisely what the issue was. How many plumbers will do that for you? "I've just got a memory for weird things," says Tommy modestly.
    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.
