Primary catchment map for 15/16 intake?

[newbestfriend]

Hello

I've seen the really useful thread with the 14/15 catchment map and discussion but wondering if there is now the equivalent for this year's intake (15/16)? I couldn't find anything online. The 16/17 process is now starting and I'd be interested to know whether there are any changes in catchments. Does anyone know?

I don't know if anyone has created a map yet. It is usually some publicly minded person on this forum.

However, if you haven't seen them - the distance for Southwark are here:

And Lewisham if you are near the border:

Doesn't look like much change from last year.

NB religious schools and some academies are not there.

The Lewisham one is from last year.

My mistake. I can't find the Lewisham brochure for this year.

However, this looks like distances as of April 15.

Please bear in mind - just because a school Ivydale admitted to 337m last year DOES NOT MEAN they will admit to that distance next year (actually Ivydale is a bad example as they will be admitting 30 more this year than last year, so the intake is likely to reach further).

You would not believe the number of parents who lodge an appeal based on the distance figures.

Thanks for your help everybody. It all looks like a mysterious art to me but will try and get my head around it....
