Hello! I am looking into these schools to apply in the autumn and I would appreciate very much any comments from parents currently sending their daughters to these schools or who have left recently.

Are there other all girls catholic schools that you would recommend? Or all girls state schools (selective or not) near SE London?

Many thanks!

Tiffin Girls has specific postcodes as an inner catchment and I don't think they ever get to the outer catchment.
Both Wallington and Nonsuch have some places based on score only regardless of location (100 and 85 respectively, I think), with the remaining places (intake is 210 at each school currently but may increase at Nonsuch) on score but within catchment area (7.5km and 5.25km - again, from memory).

@quartermile thank you very much! I will check the selective schools you mentioned. Do you know if they allocate places also based on catchment area? I am afraid that we may be a bit too far. I will start researching them. Thanks!!!

Nonsuch, Wallington Girls and Tiffins are all selective (by ability) state girls schools in S London.

I know teachers at Ursuline who aren't happy there - particularly with senior leadership - but I don't know any girls there.
St Philomenas as mentioned above has a really good reputation.

Don't have children at these schools but Coloma Convent Croydon and St Philomena's Carshalton are not too far away
