How places are allocated in Lewisham

Primary schools: Explicit: 'Rather than using traditional catchment areas... families [are] prioritised based on proximity.' (source)

Most schools use the local authority's default scheme rather than a school-specific catchment map — see each school's page for its own designated/catchment area where one is published.
