Admission criteria at Immanuel and St Andrew Church of England Primary School

If more children apply than there are places, the 2026 rules offer places in this order. In 2026, the last places went to children in group 6.

1. Foundation places (30): regular worshippers (at least fortnightly for 12 months) at a qualifying Christian church: siblings who worship in the parish first, then children of staff, then worshippers at Immanuel and St Andrew, Streatham Common, then at other churches, both living in the Area Deanery of Lambeth South.
2. Open places (30): Looked-after and previously looked-after children (including children adopted from state care outside England).
3. Open places: children with an exceptional, professionally supported medical or social need.
4. Open places: children with a brother or sister at the school when they start (siblings in the nursery classes don't count).
5. Open places: children of staff employed for two or more years, or recruited to a skills-shortage post.
6. Open places: other children, by straight-line distance from the central point of the home to the central point of the school (the council's mapping system). Unfilled foundation places become open places.
