Admission criteria at Swaffield School

If more children apply than there are places, the 2025 admission 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).

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.

In 2022, 2023 and 2026, everyone who applied was offered a place here or at a school they ranked higher.

In 2025, 7 of the 30 places went to siblings. Check the school’s admission arrangements for who counts as a sibling.
