The figure for places available in 2018–19 refers to the total number of children that will be admitted to the Reception class. Lewisham is experiencing a significant increase in demand for places across the borough. This growth is forecast to continue and will require an increase in the number of forms of entry provided in Lewisham’s primary schools. Some schools may increase their admissions limit mid-year by agreeing to open a ‘bulge class’. We aim to finalise the locations of ‘bulge classes’ for September 2018 by December 2017. These will be published on our website www.lewisham.gov.uk/admissions. N = The school has a nursery
