Wandsworth primary schools with the smallest catchments
In 2026, the last Reception place on distance at Ronald Ross Primary School went to a child living 301 m (0.19 miles) away, the smallest in Wandsworth.
Schools in Wandsworth don’t have fixed catchment areas: after children with a higher priority, such as siblings, places go to the families living closest. The “catchment” here is how far away the last place on distance went. It moves every year, so treat it as a guide to past years, not a boundary.

Places ran out before distance
At these schools, places ran out in the latest year before the distance criterion was reached (for example, siblings or faith priorities filled them), so living close wasn’t enough on its own: Holy Ghost Catholic Primary School (2026), Our Lady Queen of Heaven RC School (2026), St Anselm's Catholic Primary School (2026).
