Admissions

In 2026 the last place offered on distance in band Selective went to a child living 1.99 miles away.

“All offered” means the published group had places for all eligible applicants; its distance is not a cut-off for admission.

Distances are in miles (mi), as in the map app. PAN is the published admission number. Bands and admission groups have separate criteria; school-wide places, applications and offers are not counts for each band. Past offers are a guide, not a promise of a place.

Secondary: "Distances measured by straight line from home to school." (footnote to every school's entry in "Previous years' admissions at Wandsworth secondary schools" and the current "How school places were offered" report). Primary: "The distance used to prioritise applications for admission to schools in Wandsworth will be measured in a straight line between your home and the centre of the school site. All measurements will be calculated by Wandsworth Council's Geographical Information System. No other measurements will be taken into account." ("Choose a Wandsworth Primary School" guide, FAQ 9); the primary "previous years" report's own footnote adds: "Distances measured by a straight line in metres from the child's address to centre of the school site."

Selective: offered to all scoring 210 or above outright, and those scoring 209 living up to 3204m from the school (this is a Wandsworth Year 6 Test score threshold, not a pure distance criterion; recorded here as the tie-break distance for the lowest qualifying score).
