This is the first year of a fixed national offer day for primary allocations. It will be the 16th April from this year onward (like March 1st is National Offer day for secondary). If it falls at the weekend, it will be the next working day.

Can't believe I'm here with a nearly reception child already... Remember reading these threads when my boy was weeks old...


Saila, wonder if worth changing the title to Southwark and Lewisham as lots of people will be affected by both boroughs.


I'll be shocked if we don't get our first choice as it's 3-form entry and we live very close by... But you never can tell and it's a very kiddie place near me these days!

  • 2 weeks later...

To my knowledge no schools in the ED area were assigned to have a bulge when the brochure went live last summer. This may change as the number crunching is still on-going. This year, Dulwich Wood (formerly Langbourne) and Bessemer Grange both have their extra intake also Judith Kerr is on the CAF system (it wasn't last year). In the formulation for spaces locally, 60 spaces have been counted for Harris Free School ED. The problem will be that as the location was unknown until recently, the Harris spaces weren't on the CAF system which means that there are likely to be 60 families holding two offers. Funding for those 60 places can't be provided twice, to Harris and to the LA to fund bulge classes. Therefore, there is likely to be a bigger shakedown of places in the area than usual.

Yes, the emails will be sent out at 5pm and letters will arrive the next day. Southwark Admissions will be open that evening. Unfortunately schools are closed for the Easter Holidays. After a fortnight there should be some movement on waiting lists after initial responses from parents eg those who are going into the independent sector or holding Harris ED and another offer.


Local Councillors will be available too to give you assistance.

Good luck everyone

    • And the latest shocker, Inflation this morning was 2.3% up from 1.7& the previous month, a 0.6% increase in a month, that is dreadful. So Robber Reeves plan is already working (NOT). Inflation has begun to increase and will continue to do so, I predict the next set of unemployment figures will show a rise. Neither of these things can be blamed on the last Govt, it's down to the inept budget and impact it is having already.
    • Andrews and Arnold are brilliant https://www.aa.net.uk/. If there's any problems someone picks up the phone on the 2nd or 3rd ring and several times they have rung me immediately after I sent an e-mail. As they are primarily B2B, their support is excellent and there are a lot fewer miscommunications with OpenReach. Go to their website and enter your postcode which will show you exactly what type of broadband is available in your area.
    • Because they have been awful - scoring own-goal after own-goal. You cannot be an apologist for their diabolical first 100 days on the basis that the previous lot were worse - in the same way the whole of the 14 years of Tory rule was tarred with the brush of despair about their very worst behaviour in the latter years Labour run the risk of their government being tarred with the same brush on the basis of their first 100 days. It has probably been some of the worst 100 days of any new government and Starmer's approval ratings aren't as low as they are without reason. You know they are in trouble when MPs start posting the good bits from their first 100 days - it's a sure sign they know they have a problem. And when this government have a problem the frontbenchers disappear from media interviews and they roll-out the likes of Pat McFadden to provide some air cover. Yesterday it was farmers. Today it is the pensioners being pushed into poverty by Winter Fuel payments. It's a perceptual disaster and has been since day 1 - they have to get a grip on it else this leadership team is doomed. You highlight the very problem here. Farmers are not being gifted money. They are being gifted assets. Assets that they don't realise as they continue to work those assets to provide food for the country. Most inheritance is cash or an asset (a house) that people sell to generate cash. Passing a farm to younger family members is very different. On the news they interviewed a farmer whose family had owned the farm since 1822 and he broke down in tears when he spoke about his 13 year old son who was working in the farm to continue it - no doubt in the realisation that his son would be hit by a tax bill when he took it over. Given farmers are not cash rich then the decision would likely be that they would need to sell some of the land that generations had worked hard to build to fund the tax bill - and so many farms are on a knife's edge that it might be enough to send them over the edge.   There are many valid reasons why the government are doing what they are doing but those reasons are not cutting through and they are losing control of the narrative. That is a massive issue for them.  
    • Another great job by Simmonds Plastering. This time he decorated the newly plastered living room and added a pantry cupboard in kitchen.  He is reliable and works really hard.  Highly recommend 07949 180 533
