St Simon & St Jude - Catholic Church - Streatham Hill

Appointment with the parish priest
Parents who are considering applying for a secondary school should make an appointment to discuss the matter with our parish priest as early as possible.

Secondary schools
There are many secondary schools in our local area.

Details of all Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Southwark can be found on the diocesan website
for the Commission for Schools and Colleges at www.rcsouthwark.org.uk/schools/index.php.

Inspections
All the Catholic schools in the area are considered to be first rate by government (Ofsted) inspectors
and are also inspected by the Archdiocese of Southwark Commission for Schools and Colleges.

Admissions
For details of secondary school admission policies and procedures you should contact your local borough in the first instance, which is usually Lambeth for those attending mass at Sts Simon + Jude, and then speak to the schools you are interested in to find out more.

Unfortunately many secondary schools in our area are in effect oversubscribed so it is important to check the admissions criteria and the availability of places in each school carefully before you apply for a place for your child. You should also make an appointment with your parish priest, as explained above.
