Lewisham primary schools where everyone who applied was offered a place

In each of 2022 to 2026, 1 Lewisham primary school had room for everyone who applied: each applicant was offered a place there or at a school they ranked higher, so there was no distance cut-off.

Past years are a guide, not a promise: if more families apply, places can run out.

No cut-off in any year, 2022 to 2026

“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.

Schools with no cut-off in every year Places are for September 2027; applications count every preference, for 2026 entry.

No cut-off in 2026, but not every year

Using this list

Councils use an equal-preference system: you’re offered the highest-ranked school on your list that can offer you a place. Naming a school that had room for everyone in past years, below the schools you’d prefer, never reduces your chances at those schools. It’s still worth checking the school is practical for you, and that its rules (for example faith places or a priority area) apply as you expect.

Because the schools in the first list have never had a cut-off, there is no distance to measure your address against, and popularity can change quickly. The Shortlist never rates them Likely, however close you live (why).

Will your street get a place?

The Shortlist replays your home against every Lewisham primary school near you, using the council’s own cut-offs.

  • Every school near you rated Likely, Borderline or Unlikely for your address
  • Year by year from 2022 to 2026: whether you’d have been inside each cut-off, and by how much
  • Help building a balanced list of six, with a warning if none is Likely
  • A PDF to keep, with every council source linked

Every school page, with its past cut-offs, stays free to read.

Start with your postcode

Two quick questions and your email, then you’ll see the schools near you and how far away each is. £29 one-off unlocks a Likely, Borderline or Unlikely rating for every one, from the council’s cut-offs for 2022 to 2026.
