How far Lambeth schools admitted from
For every oversubscribed school, Lambeth publishes how far away the last child offered a place lived. This is that figure for 11 schools, tightest first. A short distance means a school that fills up close to its gates; a long one means places went further afield.
The tightest is Streatham Wells Primary at 0.24 miles in 2024/25; the most far-reaching, St Jude's Church of England Primary School, admitted from 3.54 miles.

Reading the numbers
These are not catchment areas: most English schools have none. Each figure is the distance from the school to the home of the furthest child who was offered a place under the distance criterion in that round, as Lambeth measures it, which is usually a straight line from a fixed point at the home to one at the school. Looked-after children, siblings and, at faith schools, faith criteria come before distance, so a school can fill before distance is reached at all. The figure moves every year with the number of applications. How the whole process works →
Checking an address against these
Each school's page has a checker that measures a postcode against that school's distance. The full property report measures every nearby school at once, alongside sold prices, flood risk and the rest of the house.
