Primary schools near SE1

In 2026, 151 of the 301 SE1 postcodes in Lambeth were inside the cut-off at Walnut Tree Walk Primary School, more than at any other school near SE1.

The 8 Lambeth primary schools within 2,000 m (1.24 miles) of the centre of SE1, and any up to 3,000 m (1.86 miles) away whose latest cut-off reached at least one SE1 postcode. Past years are a guide, not a promise: cut-offs move every year.

Distances are from postcode centres and estimated school measuring points. We use each council’s measuring method, but for now we estimate the point on each school site that the council measures to, so our distances can differ slightly from the council’s.

Schools near SE1 and their latest cut-offs

For each school, we measured a straight line from the centre point of each of the 301 SE1 postcodes in Lambeth to the point the council measures to, as Lambeth Council does, and compared it with the school’s latest last distance offered. A postcode within 75 m of the cut-off, either side, counts as borderline: where a home sits in its postcode could put it on either side.

“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.

Postcode centre points: Ordnance Survey Code-Point Open. SE1 here means its 301 postcodes inside Lambeth; a school’s page links to the council documents behind its figures.

Using this page

A postcode covers several homes, and the council measures from each home’s own address point, so two neighbours can fall either side of a cut-off. A borderline postcode could go either way, so check your exact address before you rely on it.
