Highly unlikely that you'd get in, in my experience, I'm not aware of many or any people that live on the eastern side of Lordship Lane that have gotten into the Hamlet - hence the popularity of Heber and Goodrich.

We have friends that live in Trossachs Road who's son didn't get offered a place and has gone on the waiting list. No harm in ringing the school and asking them about the catchment area though.


Have you tried looking on Southwark's schools website ? They ususally have a Primary Schools entrance brochure and publish the highest distance to the school for offered places.

We live on Wood Vale and my daughter went to the Hamlet, but I think we were lucky to get a place from so far away, and that was a few years ago, before there was the current pressure on primary school places. Don't forget that, because of the different entry criteria, the Infant School tends to take children from a wider area than the Hamlet, so your daughter's friends won't necessarily be offered a place at the Junior School if they aren't very local.

No, the information they provide under that criteria is for entrance on distance.


Several children from my son's class at Heber transferred to Dulwich Hamlet for Y3 - unfortunately I don't know where they live.


But that 1000m approx distance will be the furthest allocated under distance. However, the majority of entrants are likely to be much closer. You could ask for more detailed information from the school.

I am not sure why that transferred. We love Heber! Perhaps they thought the hamlet would suit their children better, or perhaps they had moved closer? Actually thinking about it, i think it was only 1, possibly 2 who transferred. I think the other child who left went to a different school totally. My point was really that children do get into Hamlet who weren't at DVI, but TBH without me knowing those families addresses, the information is a bit useless!

    • Do check out changing at Lille if it's possible, as is much easier than changing stations in Paris.  I did London to Montpellier changing at Lille which was very straightforward but it was a little while ago.
    • We go to the South of France by train most summers.   It is pretty easy and you get to arrive right in the centre of the city.  TGVs are generally efficient, reliable and comfortable. Unfortunately the direct London to Marseille Eurostar train seems to have been a  victim of Brexit so you have to change in Paris - most South bound service go from  Gare de Lyon - about a 15 min RER rise from Gare du Nord. Allow plenty of time travelling back from Gare du Nord, it always was horrid but has reach new levels of chaos since Brexit. I would recommend, at least for the home leg, booking the entire journey through Eurostar. That way if your French train is delayed or cancelled and you miss your Eurostar connection back to London,  Eurostar will get you on to a different train home. As for destinations - there is a lot of the South of Fra.ce to choose from.  What are you looking for?     Also Ouigo trains can be a cheaper option than TGVs, but watch out you have to pay extra for things like luggage and seat reservations.  Also they sometimes stop at TGV stations outside the city centre.
    • Do what I do and stick some of these folk on your ignore list.  It's great fun, they just rant away and you will be totally oblivious to it.
