Admissions
Reception
Bannockburn School has two sites. Each year group has four classes. Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 attend the High Street site on Plumstead High Street (SE18 1HE). Children in Key Stage 2 (Years 3 to Year 6) attend the Manor Way site located on Church Manor Way (SE2 0HY). Admission decisions (based on home to school distance) will be made using the main entrance to the High Street site.
In the Royal Borough of Greenwich, the local authority makes decisions about admitting children to community schools. For the full procedure and to apply for a space at Bannockburn please visit the Royal Greenwich Admissions website.
