Update: Lambeth offers a primary school place to every child

Did you get your first choice?

We did as she had sibling priority... Currently stressing about our third child who is 1, ever since I read last week they are thinking about removing sibling priority for over 800 metres in future years. Ironically that policy might have helped us get in to our first choice school 600 metres away 2 years ago... We then got our second choice which is 1000 metres away!!

Glad you got your first choice - fingers crossed for your third child. I am facing all this next year with my little girl and it sounds very stressful. I think I have some sleepless nights ahead!

Even if sibling priority is removed you should be fine, I think, as when this happens, admissions tends to be based on what was in force when the elder sibling was admitted.

If sibling priority was removed when your third child applied, they would still get in as a sibling. But if you had a fourth child who applied after your eldest chlidren had left but your third child was still there, they would not get sibling priority.

Oh thanks justoff that is reassuring to know.
