Primary school admissions

Starting primary school is a big event in your child's life. The months leading up to this are an important time for you to find out about the schools in your area and apply for places.

Parents and carers of children born between 1 September 2006 and 31 August 2007 must apply for a primary school place by 15 January 2011.

We have produced the Choose a Wandsworth primary school 2011 brochure to help you. It has full details of primary education services in the borough's schools. It also provides a step-by-step guide to the process of applying for a place and the priority applied when allocating them. Please read the booklet before applying for a place.

Printed copies of the booklet will be available from Wandsworth nursery and primary schools from mid September 2010. The booklet will contain the Wandsworth application form. Alternatively you can request a copy by contacting Pupil Services (details below) or download a copy from this page (from mid September 2010). In the meantime, you can download the brochure for the 2010 intake: Choose a Wandsworth Primary School 2010.

Please note that information in the "Choose a Wandsworth Primary School 2010" brochure should be used as guide only. For up to date admission criteria and procedures for the September 2011 intake, referral must be made to the new brochure when available.    

Parents and carers of children living in Wandsworth can apply for a place in up to 6 state schools (in Wandsworth or elsewhere) by using the form in the back of the booklet. Applications must be received by 15 January 2011. 

Parents living elsewhere must contact their home borough to apply for a place in a Wandsworth school.
