Hello, we are wondering what secondary school options are available and likely to get in for people living on the Hornimans end of Underhill Road?

Not ruling out and independent school, but wondering if Charter or Kingsdale are in the catchment?

Any advice greatly received.

Regards, Gloves

Harris boys & girls would be an option as well as St. Thomas the apostle (boys school). Kingsdale is always worth a try as it?s lottery. You could also try Harris Crystal Palace which is also a lottery, but quite a slim chance as they only offer a small percentage of places to children who live more than 2 miles away

Agree with the above, for up to age 16, your options will predominantly be single sex with mixed sixth forms. Harris Boys and Girls, STAC, Sydenham Girls and Forest Hill Boys. You may get in to Kingsdale via their lottery system. Deptford Green could also be a mixed option with travel by train. If you child is musical there are also the options of Haberdashera Aske's and Prendergast.

STAC is Catholic but has a considerable number of children at the school who are other faiths or no faiths My son was accepted there a few years ago and we were told by the headteacher at the time that 50% of student body were not catholic - in the end, we were also offered Charter East Dulwich (it was the first year of the school). We decided on Charter ED as it was nearer and we liked the idea of the small size of the year 7 class but we were very impressed by STAC.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
