Use our free interactive tool to check whether any property in Dulwich, East Dulwich, West Dulwich or Herne Hill falls within primary or secondary school catchment zones. Dulwich crosses two boroughs — Southwark and Lambeth — and a handful of the most fought-over state schools in London.
Free interactive map — enter any Dulwich, Herne Hill or SE-postcode and see exactly which school catchment areas it falls within.
The Charter School North Dulwich, Dulwich Hamlet Junior School and JAGS' state-funded feeders are among the most oversubscribed schools in South-East London, with catchments measured in hundreds of metres. Dulwich also crosses the Southwark/Lambeth boundary — your postcode determines which borough runs your admissions.
Most of East Dulwich and Dulwich Village sit within the London Borough of Southwark; West Dulwich and Herne Hill sit within Lambeth. Both councils use straight-line distance as the default tiebreaker for oversubscribed community and voluntary-controlled schools.
Dulwich contains many academies and voluntary-aided faith schools that set their own admissions criteria. Always check the specific school's published policy alongside this tool.
Southwark and Lambeth councils each publish annual admissions statistics including 'last distance offered' figures for every oversubscribed school. Search 'Southwark school admissions statistics' or 'Lambeth school admissions statistics'.
