  • “No cut-off” means every applicant was offered a place at the school or at a school they ranked higher, so places never ran out on distance.
  • The number of Reception places changed from 15 to 29 in 2025, so earlier years are less comparable.
Notes on the council’s figures
  • 2025 and 2026: All applicants received a place at the school or a higher preferred offer.
  • 2026: education, health and care plan (EHCP) placements: 0.
  • 2025: education, health and care plan (EHCP) placements: 1.

Things to know before you apply for September 2027

Admission criteria at Glenbrook Primary School

If more children apply than there are places, the 2026 rules offer places in this order.

  1. Looked-after and previously looked-after children (including children adopted from state care outside England).
  2. Children with a brother or sister at the school who will still be there when they start (siblings in the nursery class or Year 6 don't count).
  3. Children with a professionally supported exceptional medical or social need (or a parent's significant need) for this particular school, decided by Lambeth's MEDSOC panel.
  4. Children of teachers or teaching assistants employed at the school for at least 0.6 of full time and for at least 3 years (at most one child per form of entry).
  5. Other children, by straight-line distance from the home (a point from the Local Land and Property Gazetteer) to a central point in the school's grounds, measured by Lambeth Council's mapping software. Exactly equal distances are settled by random allocation.

Where a year’s rules are missing from our data, we use the nearest year’s.

Questions about Glenbrook Primary School

How far away do you need to live to get into Glenbrook Primary School?

The only distance cut-off in our figures is from 2024: 0.43 miles. In 2025 and 2026, everyone who applied was offered a place here or at a school they ranked higher. We don’t have a usable distance figure for 2023. Cut-offs move each year with the number of applicants and siblings, so treat these as a guide to past years, not a promise.

Do siblings get priority at Glenbrook Primary School?

Yes. Under the 2026 admission rules, children with a brother or sister at the school come second in the order of priority, after looked-after and previously looked-after children. In 2024, 10 of the 15 places went to siblings. Check the school’s admission arrangements for who counts as a sibling.

Has everyone who applied to Glenbrook Primary School been offered a place in past years?

In 2025 and 2026, yes: everyone who applied to Glenbrook Primary School was offered a place here or at a school they ranked higher. In 2024, places ran out, so not everyone was offered a place. We don’t have usable figures for 2023.

How many applications does Glenbrook Primary School get?

In 2026, Glenbrook Primary School received 57 applications for 29 Reception places: about 2.0 applications for each place, counting all six preferences. It has 30 Reception places for September 2027. Between 2024 and 2026, applications ranged from 38 to 57 a year. Families name several schools, so one child can count as an application at more than one school.

Is Glenbrook Primary School oversubscribed?

Not in 2026: everyone who applied was offered a place at Glenbrook Primary School or at a school they ranked higher. It had 57 applications for 29 places, counting every preference families named. Many of those families were offered a school they ranked higher, so more applications than places doesn’t mean places ran out.
