Hi All,
We live in the Sanderstead/Riddlesdown area and would like to get our children into Atwood, Ridgeway, or Gresham state primary schools. We pretty much live in the middle of all three schools with Gresham being the closest, followed by Atwood and then Ridgeway. I've taken a look at the figures published by Croydon Council for distance for furthest pupil accepted for each school and we wouldn't have got into Gresham or Ridgeway for the Sept 2011 intake. We're slightly concered as we moved to the area to specifically get into one of these schools! We thought that being under a mile away from each would be fine for getting into one of them.
So, my question relates to Atwood school. As Atwood is a foundation school it doesn't have to publish the distance data. Does anyone have any idea on generally how close you need to be to get in? We understand that it depends on the birth rate for a particular year, but an indication would be good. Also, on that note, does anyone know if the Sept 2011 intake was a freakishly high bith rate year?! We're hoping that it was!!
Any information much appreciated. Thanks.
