About Floreat Wandsworth Primary School

Floreat Wandsworth Primary School is a state primary in Wandsworth that currently educates 329 pupils, well within its capacity of 420. The school serves a notably diverse intake: a quarter of its pupils (25.6%) are eligible for free school meals, a figure that sits above the national average and suggests the school draws from a genuinely mixed catchment. Demand is exceptionally high. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 325 applications for just 58 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 5.6 to one. Of those applicants, 63 put Floreat as their first preference, and 45 of those families received an offer. That level of competition — more than five applicants for every place — signals a school that local parents are actively prioritising, and it places Floreat among the more sought-after primaries in the borough.

Academically, Floreat performs well above the local average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 64% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the Wandsworth local authority average of 68%. The school’s own results are solid, with 82% reaching the expected standard in reading and 71% in both maths and writing. At the higher standard, 14% of pupils achieved the top marks across all three subjects. Average scaled scores were 107 in reading and 105 in maths. Nationally, the school sits in the 46th percentile for expected standard attainment, and within Wandsworth it ranks 36th out of 55 primaries. The most recent Ofsted inspection, in November 2024, awarded Outstanding across every graded category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management — a clear upgrade from the previous Good rating in 2018.

The school offers a strong set of facilities for a primary, including a forest school, sensory room, gymnasium, art studios and a chapel. Sports provision covers athletics, football, tennis, dance, cricket and rounders, while clubs include film, eco and drama. For children with additional needs, the school lists support for specific learning difficulties (including dyslexia), speech, language and communication needs, hearing impairment, and autistic spectrum disorder. Parent feedback is overwhelmingly positive: 99% of respondents to the Ofsted Parent View survey would recommend the school, and 86% strongly agreed that their child is happy there. With nursery provision from age two and a clear oversubscription picture, Floreat is a school that suits families who want a well-regarded, inclusive local primary with strong outcomes and a broad offer — but they will need to apply early and make it their first choice to stand a realistic chance of a place.
