child living at the same home
address and dependent on the same
primary carer.
Medical and/or social reasons:
applicants must provide at least two
pieces of written evidence of
professional support which should
be submitted, with the
supplementary information form,
direct to the school before the
closing date. Applications must set
out the particular reasons why
Dunraven School is the most
suitable school and what difficulties
would occur if the child had to go
elsewhere. Any such applications will
be considered objectively by the
admissions committee of the school
based on the evidence provided.
Geography: proximity of the child’s
home to the school, measured using
the shortest walking route, lit by
street lighting, from the front door of
the home address (as identified by
the mapping software) to the student
entrance of Dunraven Lower School
in Mount Nod Road, with those living
nearest accorded the highest priority.
For a full definition of all of the above
criteria, please refer to the school’s
admissions policy.
In the eventuality of insufficient
applicants for places in any band,
unfilled places will be offered to the
next band.
Appeal arrangements
Unsuccessful applicants will have the
right to appeal against the decision
to an Independent Admissions
Appeals Panel established under the
School Standards and Framework
Act 1998. The school has established
arrangements for appeal against
non-admission which include an
independent lay element. For further
details, please contact the Admissions
and Appeals Officer at the school.

Sixth form – sharing excellence
Dunraven has a thriving sixth form
rated as ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted in
2009 “with major strengths including
excellent relationships and very
effective support systems”. We offer
a sixth form experience which is
challenging, varied, interesting and
rewarding. As part of the South
London Sixth (SL6) collaboration,
our close links with Bishop Thomas
Grant, The Elmgreen School, La
Retraite and St Martin-in-the-Fields
enable us to offer an extended range
of subjects and enrichment activities.
As the largest and most successful
sixth form in Lambeth, SL6 has the
scale needed to offer a very wide
range of A-Level and vocational
choices, without losing the friendly
and supportive atmosphere of a
smaller sixth form where students
are known as individuals. For further
information and a prospectus please
see our website or contact the school.
