Lambeth primary schools with the smallest catchments

In 2026, the last Reception place on distance at Immanuel and St Andrew Church of England Primary School went to a child living 0.24 miles away, the smallest in Lambeth.

Schools in Lambeth don’t have fixed catchment areas: after children with a higher priority, such as siblings, places go to the families living closest. The “catchment” here is how far away the last place on distance went. It moves every year, so treat it as a guide to past years, not a boundary.

Places ran out before distance

At these schools, places ran out in the latest year before the distance criterion was reached (for example, siblings or faith priorities filled them), so living close wasn’t enough on its own: Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School (2026), St Andrew's Catholic Primary School (2026), The Orchard School (2026).

Not ranked: St Stephen's Church of England Primary School. These schools give priority to children inside a priority area or parish, so distance alone doesn’t tell you who got in.

Schools not listed had room for everyone, or we don’t hold a published distance for their latest year. Distances are measured the way Lambeth Council measures them.
