We currently live on the Southwark/Lewisham boarder and are looking at secondary schools for our DTs for 2013 entry. As we have one DS and one DD we primarily want to look at mixed schools but sadly it seems the girls only schools do a lot better academically - would I be holding either of them back by discounting single sex schools? Also could anyone explain the banding system that most schools allocate places by? And if we live in Lewisham can we apply for Southwark schools? Finally does anyone know how oversubscribed the following schools are and are they any good?
Haberdashers' Aske's Hatcham College
The St Thomas the Apostle College
Harris Girls' Academy
Prendergast School (would we get in living just over a mile away?)
City of London Academy (nearly two miles away?)
One last question - admissions for Prendergast say that they allocate 10% of places on musical ability, how good do you have to be to get in based on this?
