Schools in Sidcup

A settled south-east London suburb of around 15,000 residents, Sidcup carries the residential grain of its former Kent identity, transferred to the London Borough of Bexley when Greater London was created in 1965. Foots Cray and Hurst mark the greener fringes. The place-name dates to 1254, derived from the Old English for a seat-shaped or flat-topped hill.

Lamorbey and Blackfen are among the most sought-after pockets for school catchments in the area, drawing families who prize Sidcup's quieter suburban character, while Burnt Oak adds further school-competitive weight to the eastern belt. Sidcup station sits on the Charing Cross to Dartford line, with trains reaching Charing Cross in around forty minutes.
