What is the catchment area for Dulwich Prep & Senior?
The catchment area for Dulwich Prep & Senior is the geographic zone Southwark uses to prioritise admissions when this not applicable school receives more applications than it has places.

Southwark publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
Entry to Dulwich Prep & Senior is selective, and applicants must pass the relevant admissions test.

Check the admissions policy for how the selection and distance criteria interact.
