Primary schools near SE9

None of the 37 SE9 postcodes in Lewisham was inside a nearby school’s latest distance cut-off.

The 5 Lewisham primary schools within 2,000 m (1.24 miles) of the centre of SE9, and any up to 3,000 m (1.86 miles) away whose latest cut-off reached at least one SE9 postcode. Past years are a guide, not a promise: cut-offs move every year.

Distances are from postcode centres and estimated school measuring points. We use each council’s measuring method, but for now we estimate the point on each school site that the council measures to, so our distances can differ slightly from the council’s.

Schools near SE9 and their latest cut-offs

For each school, we measured a straight line from the centre point of each of the 37 SE9 postcodes in Lewisham to the point the council measures to, as Lewisham Council does, and compared it with the school’s latest last distance offered. A postcode within 75 m of the cut-off, either side, counts as borderline: where a home sits in its postcode could put it on either side.

“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.

Using this page

A postcode covers several homes, and the council measures from each home’s own address point, so two neighbours can fall either side of a cut-off. A borderline postcode could go either way, so check your exact address before you rely on it.
