• “No cut-off” means every applicant was offered a place at the school or at a school they ranked higher, so places never ran out on distance.

Admission criteria at Perrymount Primary School

If more children apply than there are places, the 2026 rules offer places in this order.

1. Looked-after children and children who were previously looked after (adopted, or under a child arrangements or special guardianship order), including children adopted from state care outside England.
2. Children with an exceptional medical or social need for this school, supported by a letter from a hospital consultant, social worker or similar professional and decided with a panel of teaching and medical professionals. Children of full-time service personnel are also given priority under this criterion.
3. Children with a brother or sister on the school's roll on the closing date who will still be there when the child starts (not a Year 6 child moving to secondary school). Siblings must live at the same address.
4. Children of staff employed at the school for two or more years when the application is made, or recruited to a post with a demonstrable skill shortage.
5. Other children, nearest first: a straight line from a point in the home to a central point in the school premises, measured by Lewisham Council's mapping software. In a block of flats the lowest door number comes first; otherwise equal cases are settled by drawing lots.
