About Furzedown Primary School

Furzedown Primary School is a popular choice among Wandsworth families, with 181 applications for 62 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.92. Of those, 38 families put it as their first preference, and all 38 received offers. This level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, though the school does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage in its data. The school is a mixed, state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery provision, and is led by headteacher Dionne Morris. It has a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has held across its two most recent inspections, having improved from a Requires Improvement rating in 2010. The most recent graded inspection in 2013 rated both leadership and management and overall effectiveness as Good, and an ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good.
