  • “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 60 to 30 in 2024, so earlier years are less comparable.
Notes on the council’s figures
  • 2023 and 2026: All applicants received a place at the school or a higher preferred offer.
  • 2025: education, health and care plan (EHCP) placements 0.
  • 2025: Read from Lambeth's web page through WebFetch.
  • 2024: education, health and care plan (EHCP) placements 1.

Things to know before you apply for September 2027
