You have asked this before. There are likely to be a number of schools you have the possibility of admission to. You need to research your options via the Lambeth Council website, individual school websites and then visit them during open days. Your child's primary school should be able to help if you are feeling lost with the process, also speak to other parents they may have experiences to share based on where elder siblings attend.

i know what I asked before, I’m not confused about the process. I’m trying to gauge the likeness of admissions based on where I live. As I’m likely to be judged on distance no other criteria

The best way to judge your chances is to look at the furthest first round distance from previous years. Most London councils have this on their website. Also ask people on your road, or just look at the uniforms on the kids arriving home on your road.

Hi there OP, not all schools prioritise on distance, you need to look at the admissions policy for the year of admission on the school’s website - are you looking for Yr 7 admission in September 2023?

Try asking on Streatham Mums (Parents) Network on Facebook

What schools do you think you have a chance at?

Dunraven would be my top choice, and Woodmansterne if you are within reach. Norwood? Have you got Catholic credentials for BTG? And try for a lottery place at Kingsdale.

Remember that they ‘last distance’ given for admissions last year is for National Offer Day. It will widen out a bit as waiting lists places come available.

What uniforms do you see kids in your road wearing?
