The term "sub-domain" might be confusing. Often people says things like "foo.example.com is a subdomain of example.com", but I've never heard someone say "southwark.sch.uk is a sub-domain" (e.g., of what domain is it a subdomain?). I expect that "sch.uk" is a "public suffix" (see <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-pettersen-subtld-structure/>) or a "sub-tld", but in your example I don't know the relationship between kingsdale and southwark (is southwark.sch.uk a regional registrar, perhaps?) or between southwark and sch.uk...
