⚠️ Important: Catchment Measuring Points Vary

School catchment distances are not always measured from the school's postcode or map pin. Some schools measure from the school gates, others from the main entrance, a specific published measuring point, or the centre of the school building. Always check South Park Primary School's published admissions policy or contact Redbridge Council directly to confirm the exact measuring point before relying on any distance calculation.
