Hello all,we are buying a house in Crofton and I am worried about secondary schools.It looks like our only option would be Darrick wood school,but what do we do if we don't get in?Does anyone know how far in Crofton the catchment area goes?

are you in the catchment for ravensbourne? this is a mixed school and I've heard good things about it recently.
Google "as the crow flies" calculator and you will see how far away you are from the school. If you're slightly out..
e.g. if catchment was 1.2 and you're 1.4, there's a v good chance you'll get a waiting list place.
This year I got a place at a school that is v popular and has a history of v small catchments... I.e. 1.2... I live 1.6 and got a waiting list place to my delight.
There's a decreasing birth rate in the area so catchments are increasing.
