Next year the school will have a smaller 'catchment area' than this year as it bulged (60 places rather than the usual 30). I have heard it's good. If you are looking at Catholic schools in the area, both St Francesca Cabrini (Peckham Rye Ward) and St Anthony's (East Dulwich) have good Ofsted reports and obtained excellent SATs results in 2011, in both schools 90 something percent got level 4+ for Eng, Maths,Science and over half of the children at both schools got level 5 in Eng/Maths.

I know one mum who took her daughter out of SWOY reception class as she found it too strict - her daughter was coming home crying. Afraid I don't know much more than that - it was a passing conversation, so not a lot of context. I was surprised to hear that as we thought it seemed really good when we visited it. Maybe just the wrong mix of child and school (or parent and school)!

hope you're Catholic because even with the bulge only 3 were non-Catholics and they were all Christians with supported applications.


36 spots went to either siblings or parish children this year, so definitely strong competition even for those practicing in the area.

    • And we humans bear a lot of responsibility for creating the conditions that brought foxes into urban settings. I certainly don't regard them as pests - they are noisy little criminals, but I'm very fond of them (we have huge numbers of them in my area - I rescued a lost baby fox earlier this year). However, there are pest control companies that use humane methods to deter them and redirect them to different territories (a friend of mine works for one, but sadly for OP, I don't think this is in their catchment area).
    • Please don't call them "pests". They are animals who have as much right to be here as we do. Which doesn't mean we can't use humane ways to keep them off our crops, like fruit cages and netting.
    • This thread started about how to deal with pests that cause a lot of damage and leave unpleasant offerings, but has morphed into concerns about welfare for the pests.  I think it's time that local authorities gave us help with foxes and squirrels:  it's especially difficult trying to grow fruit and veg when these animals cause so much destruction.
    • Peter has been recommended many times on here and we can now also recommend him highly, having just had our wetroom walk-in shower done. Prompt response, came when he said, engaged with us helpfully when decisions had to be made, cleaned up well at the end and finished on time. He has been tiling 25 years, and is clearly expert. He also does e.g. victorian tiled pathways.
