Lewisham School Catchment Areas

Reviewed by the catchment.school editorial team · Last updated 15 March 2026

Schools in Lewisham split across 64 primaries and 10 secondaries, with catchment boundaries set afresh each admissions cycle by the council's school admissions team.

Expect the tightest competition in and around London and Bromley, where popular primaries are regularly oversubscribed and last-distance-offered figures can shrink to a few hundred metres.

Selective schools are part of the mix in Lewisham — for those applying to grammar schools, a selective admissions test is required in addition to the standard admissions process.
