Does anybody know which was the furthest distance for a place offered at the Dulwich Infant School and Dulwich Hamlet Junior this year?

It will get bigger as the waiting list moves between now and September.

Yes things change so much. My daughter was offered a place at Dulwich Hamlets as we were considered to be within 12 minutes walking distance of the school (not sure what this is in measurementS).

Thank you! That's a very small catchment for DVIS.

I thought the distance was calculated as the crow flies not walking distance anymore.

[hellosailor]

Yes as the crow flies

[Sol]

Thank you

Yes, it is small. But in the last 3 years it has gone up over 100m from offer day to the start of the September term. The school office can tell you the final distance from last year.

Thank you Etta; will email the schools

This is from a previous thread:

"Actually - sorry, I had a follow-up email, giving these distances for non-sibling non-church places:

"2009-10 854 m

2010-11 797m

2011 - 696m" "

http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?29,732151,1197239#msg-1197239

I was told by the office that the 2012 distance was 636m (although I know other people were told different things)

We didn't get into DVIS and we were in Ruskin Walk. About 800m...

so it must be around the 600m radius mark. using that link earlier you can work out where potentially you need to live..

A lovely child from Ruskin walk got in in 2014 but they were quite far down the waiting list (20-something). There is often quite a lot of 'movement' but not always.

Hiya, anyone know furthest distance this year for DVIS and Hamlets including waiting list places? Thanks!

This year, Dulwich Hamlet's first round last distance offer was 835m. After movement on the waiting list, the final distance offer was 1187. However, this year was a bulge year.

I don't know for DVI's which is more complicated due to church places but I've asked Dulwich Hamlet before and when it doesn't bulge its about 700-800m as final distance offered.

Its much easier to get into than East Dulwich Primaries as its a larger than average school and a lot of people nearby go private!
