SEPTEMBER 2017 ENTRY

 

National Offer Day is Tuesday 18 April. If you have received an offer of a place for your child at Dulwich Hamlet you will need to visit the school to formally accept your place with your proof of address and your child's ID documents. Please contact the school office to arrange a time for you to attend.

You will need to bring the following original documents with you:

• Child's birth certificate (short-form version)
• Council Tax bill or statement for the 2017/2018 tax year

Plus one of the following:

• Child Benefit book or Child Benefit Office letter, dated less than 3 calendar months prior to your school place offer letter
• Child's NHS medical card
• Child Trust Fund statement
• Family Tax Credit or Income Support letter dated less than 6 calendar months prior to your school offer letter
• Child's regular prescription

ADMISSIONS CRITERIA

 

Pupils with an Education, Health and Care Plan (formerly a Statement of Special Educational Needs) will be given special consideration based on their Plan. Looked After children will then have priority admission. Children who have a specific social, medical or psychological need will then be considered.

Following these children, priority will be given to siblings of pupils who will remain on role at time of entry, and then children who live closest to the school on the basis of straight line distance. This is measured from the school Reception on Dulwich Village to the child's home address.

For further information please see the below documents:

CATCHMENT AREA

 

We do not have a catchment area as such; children who live closest to the school on the basis of straight line measurement will be admitted, so the 'catchment' changes every year. Opposite are details of the furthest distances in metres from the past few years.

Year of entry	April offers	At Sept entry
2016	685m	1019m
2015	766m	829m
2014 (bulge year)	835m	1187m
2013	799m	960m
2012	725m	1010m

 

APPLYING DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR

 

If you wish to apply for your child mid-way through the school year you must complete an in year application form. This can be downloaded below and returned to the school office.

​In year application form

Parents should note that we are a very over-subscribed school and there are currently no places available in any of our year groups.

WAITING LIST

 

The school maintains a waiting list for children who have been unsuccessful in gaining a place, whether making a Year 3 application or an in year application to another year group.

Parents may keep their child's name on the waiting list for as long as they wish.

The waiting list is ordered in accordance with our admissions criteria, not from the date an application was made, so a child's position on the list may alter depending on additional applicants.
