Foundation school in LONDON, SW9 0EN.

How far it admitted from

0.43297252289758537 miles

This is not a catchment area. Most English schools do not have one. When a school is oversubscribed, places are offered outward from it until they run out, so the distance changes every year with how many children applied and where they lived. A figure of 0.43297252289758537 miles last year does not guarantee a place at 0.43297252289758537 miles this year, and living closer than that is not a guarantee either. Treat it as the best available evidence, not a boundary.

How close do I need to live to get a place?

Nobody can tell you that in advance, and anyone who says otherwise is guessing. The distance moves every year with the number of applications. 0.43297252289758537 miles was enough last year, which makes it the best evidence available, not a promise about next year.

Does buying a house nearby guarantee a place?

No. Admission criteria usually put looked-after children, siblings and sometimes faith or aptitude criteria ahead of distance, so places can be filled before distance is reached at all. Councils also check that the address is genuinely where the child lives.
