This came up in another thread under outside se23 (anyone know about Wood Vale Catchment?).

You need to look in Lewisham's primary application document for 2011/2012 admissions. It has a section that sets out what the distance was last year for the last place offered in the reception class of each school. This is skewed by the one off 'bulge' classes but this is all explained.

The Lewisham booklets are here:

The distance of the last child offered a reception place from the Primary schools in Forest Hill for 2010/11 and taken from the above document was:
Elliot Bank - 467m
Fairlawn - 377m (783m for the bulge class, which was only last year)
Horniman - 680m
Kelvin Grove - 641m (1211m bulge)
Kilmorie 1400m (2182m bulge)
Perrymount - 356m (2011m bulge)
Stillness - 645m

So you will need a map and a ruler to measure. The distances are straight line distances and will at least give you an indication.

This doesn't apply to non-reception places.

Roz - according to these figures you would have got a place last year too! Interesting how similar last years figure was to this year's.
