St Joseph's Catholic Primary and Nursery School admissions: how far away places were offered

Reception offers at St Joseph's Catholic Primary and Nursery School, year by year

• “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.

Things to know before you apply for September 2027

• In each of 2022 to 2026, everyone who applied was offered a place here or at a school they ranked higher.
• Within each category, ties are broken by sibling at the school, then living in St Thomas a Becket (Wandsworth), St Mary Magdalen's (East Hill) or St Gregory's (Earlsfield) parish, then social/pastoral/medical need, then distance.
• Where logistically possible, twins and other multiple-birth siblings are admitted together.
