Hello everyone,
I am new to this website. I need to some guidence on school catchment area. We are considering to move from london to New Malden very soon as our little one is going to start school in next two years time. Is there anyone will be able to tell what sort of road normally children commute to Coombe hill school or what is normally the catchemnt area? Is there anyone know anything about The Crescent road that any child got place in past?

Any opinion or guidence will be very much appreciated.

Many thanks

They have the catchment for each year up on the school website. I'm no expert but I think that you would be borderline there and it would depend on the year. In fact just had a look and you would have got a place every year from 2008 except 2014. Some years they take 90 and some 120 so that makes a difference.

Yes, thank you Vijac. I have checked, if we would applied this year, she would have get the place. But for us we have to wait another two years.

Check the siblings data as they get priority and will give you an idea on how many real spaces are available.

Thanks Pop1ns, they took 54/90 siblings on 2014, though it's quite a lot.

Live right next door or across the road and you MIGHT get DC in. Very competitive to get a place.

Intake is going up to 120 permanently although I'm not sure if it's from Sept 2015 or after. In the Crescent you should get in under 4 form entry.

thanks @ohtobeanonymous, I heard it's a oversubscribe school. Let's hope for the best.

No you're correct I've heard that this year the catchment only went to Clarence Avenue (which borders High Drive) although I think this year is only 3 form intake
