Pimlico Academy

Hi, did anyone's child get into Pimlico Academy and if so how far do you live from the school?

We will be applying in 2 years for DD, wondering if the catchment has shrunk as much as the school was anticipating.

The distance at which the last place was offered will be in the secondary admissions booklet published by Westminster council which comes out in September. If you want to know now, why not just email the council or the school and ask?

I think the point is that with a new building and a renewed sense of purpose Pimlico is rapidly gaining in popularity.

Local parents are now actively deciding between Greycoats and Pimlico in a way which would have been unusual a few years back. I am therefore not surprised that Pimlico are flagging up that their catchment is shrinking and presumably not to rely on historic data.

I spoke to a teacher at school in September and she said the furthest south starting in September 2011 was Stockwell. Don't know about September 2012 admissions.
Millie, where are you?

Stockwell is quite far though .
Could the teacher have been thinking of a sibling entry ?
