Primary schools near SE26

In 2026, 356 of the 467 SE26 postcodes in Lewisham were inside the cut-off at Eliot Bank Primary School, more than at any other school near SE26.

The 15 Lewisham primary schools within 2,000 m (1.24 miles) of the centre of SE26, and any up to 3,000 m (1.86 miles) away whose latest cut-off reached at least one SE26 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 SE26 and their latest cut-offs

For each school, we measured a straight line from the centre point of each of the 467 SE26 postcodes in Lewisham to the point the council measures to, as Lewisham 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. SE26 here means its 467 postcodes inside Lewisham; 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.
