Admission criteria at Alderbrook Primary School
If more children apply than there are places, the 2026 admission rules offer places in this order:
- Looked-after children and children who were previously looked after (adopted or under a child arrangements or special guardianship order).
- Children with a professionally supported exceptional medical or social need for this particular school.
- Children with a brother or sister at the school (Reception to Year 6) at the time of admission.
- Children of staff employed directly at the school (conditions apply).
- Other children, in order of straight-line distance from home to the centre of the school site (measured by Wandsworth Council).
Our data doesn’t include separate rules for every year, so where a year’s rules are missing we use the nearest year’s.
Read the official rules: Wandsworth Council: proposed admissions policy for community primary schools (without priority areas) 2027-28. The school’s own published arrangements always take priority over our summary.
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.
- Sibling priority: the council's 2023-24 policy limited it to families within 800 m (with exceptions); the proposed 2027-28 policy has no distance limit, which could mean more sibling places.
From our reading of the council’s figures and the school’s admission arrangements. Always check the official rules: Wandsworth Council: proposed admissions policy for community primary schools (without priority areas) 2027-28.
