Admission criteria at Furzedown Primary School
If more children apply than there are places, the 2022 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 who live within the school's priority area.
- Other children living within the school's priority area (roads including Furzedown Road, Southcroft Road and parts of Thrale and Moyser Roads), nearest first.
- Children with a brother or sister at the school who live outside the school's priority area.
- Other children living outside the priority area, by straight-line distance from home to the centre of the school site.
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: admissions policy 2027-28 for Furzedown, Penwortham and Sellincourt Primary Schools. The school’s own published arrangements always take priority over our summary.
Things to know before you apply for September 2027
- Under the 2025-26 and 2027-28 policies the order is: looked-after; medical/social; siblings, wherever they live; children of staff (at most one place per form of entry); the priority area; then everyone else by distance.
- Earlier policies (e.g. 2020-21) split siblings into those inside the priority area, ranked above it, and those outside, ranked below it.
- Children with an education, health and care plan (EHCP) naming the school are admitted first.
From our reading of the council’s figures and the school’s admission arrangements. Always check the official rules: Wandsworth Council: admissions policy 2027-28 for Furzedown, Penwortham and Sellincourt Primary Schools.
