Primary schools near SW17

In 2026, 210 of the 907 SW17 postcodes in Wandsworth were inside the cut-off at Rutherford House School, more than at any other school near SW17.

The 18 Wandsworth primary schools within 2,000 m (1.24 miles) of the centre of SW17, and any up to 3,000 m (1.86 miles) away whose latest cut-off reached at least one SW17 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 SW17 and their latest cut-offs

For each school, we measured a straight line from the centre point of each of the 907 SW17 postcodes in Wandsworth to the point the council measures to, as Wandsworth 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.

Postcode centre points: Ordnance Survey Code-Point Open. SW17 here means its 907 postcodes inside Wandsworth; 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.
