Admission criteria at Tooting Primary School

If more children apply than there are places, the 2024 rules offer places in this order.

  1. Children with a brother or sister at the school (see the school's admission arrangements for the exact definition).
  2. Other children, in order of straight-line distance from home to the centre of the school site (measured by Wandsworth Council).

Where a year’s rules are missing from our data, we use the nearest year’s.

Questions about Tooting Primary School

How far away do you need to live to get into Tooting Primary School?

In the three years with a distance cut-off (2022 to 2024), it ranged from 1,339 m (0.83 miles) (2023) to 1,710 m (1.06 miles) (2024). In 2025 and 2026, everyone who applied was offered a place here or at a school they ranked higher. Cut-offs move each year with the number of applicants and siblings, so treat these as a guide to past years, not a promise.

Do siblings get priority at Tooting Primary School?

Yes. Under the 2024 admission rules, children with a brother or sister at the school get priority after looked-after and previously looked-after children, ahead of children admitted on distance. In 2024, 24 of the 60 places went to siblings. Check the school’s admission arrangements for who counts as a sibling.

Has everyone who applied to Tooting Primary School been offered a place in past years?

In 2025 and 2026, yes: everyone who applied to Tooting Primary School was offered a place here or at a school they ranked higher. In 2022 to 2024, places ran out, so not everyone was offered a place.

How many applications does Tooting Primary School get?

In 2026, Tooting Primary School received 160 applications. Families name several schools, so one child can count as an application at more than one school.

What are my chances of getting into Tooting Primary School?

It depends mostly on how far away you live, unless you have a sibling at Tooting Primary School or another priority. For a family applying on distance: living within 1,339 m (0.83 miles) would have got a place in all five years we have figures for, and living more than 1,710 m (1.06 miles) away, in two of them. This is what happened in past years, not a promise. Our Shortlist replays your own address against each year.

Is Tooting Primary School oversubscribed?

Not in 2026: everyone who applied was offered a place at Tooting Primary School or at a school they ranked higher. It had 160 applications for 60 places, counting every preference families named. Many of those families were offered a school they ranked higher, so more applications than places doesn’t mean places ran out.

What was Tooting Primary School’s latest Ofsted inspection result?

At its graded inspection on 23 April 2025, Ofsted gave Tooting Primary School no overall grade (it stopped giving one in September 2024). It judged quality of education Good, behaviour and attitudes Good, personal development Good, leadership and management Good and early years provision Good. From Ofsted’s data as at 30 September 2026. The full report is on Ofsted’s website.

When do you apply to Tooting Primary School for a Reception place in September 2027?
