Admission criteria at Fircroft 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 brother or sister at the school (see the school's admission arrangements for the exact definition).
- 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: Choose a Wandsworth Primary School: September 2027 admissions booklet. The school’s own published arrangements always take priority over our summary.
Less predictable
The distance cut-off has moved a lot from year to year (between 517 m and 1,277 m, or 0.32 and 0.79 miles), and the share of places going to siblings has swung (19 of 30 places in 2022, 10 of 60 in 2024). Treat past cut-offs here with extra caution.
