Wandsworth primary school cut-off changes, 2025 to 2026

Of the 19 Wandsworth primary schools with a distance cut-off in both 2025 and 2026, the last distance offered shrank at 9, grew at 9 and stayed the same at 1.

The cut-off is how far away the last child offered a place under the distance criterion lived. It moves every year with the number of applicants and siblings, so one year’s change is not a trend you can rely on.

Figures from Wandsworth Council allocation reports. Schools are left out when either year had no distance cut-off (for example, room for everyone) or the years aren’t comparable. Each school page shows every year.
