Also depends if Lewisham are changing their distance criteria - I know that for 2010 admissions Southwark are measuring distance from school to home 'as the crow flies', i.e. shortest direct route, rather than going by 'safe walking route' as they have done previously - this may work in your favour?

Curly - I thought the same about the borough/distance thing. But looking at the admissions book from Southwark today, some schools (ie, Goodrich) have criteria that states something along the lines of 1) Children living closest to the school who live in Southwark, then 2) Children living closest to the school who live in other boroughs.


That said, visited Horniman this morning and the head there said they make no distinction on the borough, just the distance. So worth checking with the individual schools.

You're misunderstanding, I'm sure.

iv) Children for whom it is their nearest Southwark community school measured by straight line

route from home to main school gate


(v) Children living nearest the school measured by straight line route from home to main school

gate


Whether or not you live in Southwark cannot be a factor, this was ruled illegal some years ago.


http://www.lewisham.gov.uk/EducationAndLearning/Schools/SchoolAdmissions/PrimarySchoolAdmission/AdmissionCriteria/


"4.children for whom it is the nearest community school (priority within this category will normally be given to those living nearest to the school but other children living further away may have to be given preference if they cannot reasonably be offered an alternative school).



5.if, after these criteria have been taken into account, there are still more applicants than places remaining, priority will be given to those living nearest to the school."

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
