Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2026 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it.

Application figures: DfE, school level applications and offers (2026 intake).

School overview

West Wimbledon Primary School is a primary school serving London, Merton, classified by the DfE as a community school. It has 299 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. At its most recent graded inspection, Ofsted rated West Wimbledon Primary School 'Good'. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 64% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 11.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 4% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). West Wimbledon Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 26 families who put it first were offered a place. The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2026 lived 2.43 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 5.8%. There are about 12.4 pupils per teacher. When comparing schools, it is still worth visiting in person to see whether the atmosphere and approach suit your child.
