The Charter School Bermondsey
Dependable results for a comprehensive intake; the journey is the main thing to weigh.
What the data says
Published data, read plainly. It tells you what to check next; it does not guarantee a place or replace your local authority’s admissions guidance.
Attainment 8 of 40.9 is below the national average of around 46. Compare with progress data, which may show a different picture.

Progress is close to average or statistically uncertain because the confidence interval crosses zero. This does not necessarily mean the school adds or detracts from pupil progress.

Admissions and catchment
Year 7 entry · Southwark council allocation figures, 2026–2026
Add a postcode to see where you would sit against past cut-offs.
Southwark did not publish a usable last offer distance for this school in 2026.
What could change this
- We measure a straight line from your postcode centre. The council measures from your home address, sometimes along walking routes, so treat anything near the line with care.
- Cut-offs move every year with the number of applicants and siblings.
- Children with an EHC plan, looked-after children and siblings are usually offered places before distance is used.
- Past allocations never guarantee a place.
No usable distance was published, so there is nothing to draw.
Last offer distance
Furthest child offered a place.
