Anglo Portuguese School of London
About Anglo Portuguese School of London
Anglo Portuguese School of London is a state primary in Wandsworth that clearly appeals to local families, with 71 applications for just 30 places in the 2025/26 admissions round. That works out at 2.37 applications per place, and of the 26 families who put it as their first preference, 21 were offered a spot. The school is small — 130 pupils against a capacity of 420 — which means class sizes are likely to be intimate, and the parent experience seems positive on the ground, though no formal parent-view survey data is available in the most recent Ofsted inspection. The school has a notably high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 33.8%, well above the national average, and it caters for a diverse range of needs, with six different SEND provisions on offer including support for autistic spectrum disorder, speech and language needs, and specific learning difficulties like dyslexia. That breadth of support, combined with the oversubscription, suggests a school that is meeting genuine local demand.
