Sellincourt Primary School

About Sellincourt Primary School

Sellincourt Primary School is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 165 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.75. That means nearly three families applied for every spot. Of those 165 applications, 48 were first-preference choices, and the school was able to offer places to all 48 of those families. This level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the Wandsworth community, though the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage to confirm satisfaction rates directly. The school is a mixed, state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery provision on site. It has a Good rating from Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement grade in 2015. The most recent graded inspection in 2017 and an ungraded visit in 2023 both confirmed the school remains Good, with leadership, management, and early years provision all rated Good.

Academically, Sellincourt sits in the bottom half of Wandsworth primary schools, ranking 45th out of 55 in the local authority based on the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths combined. That figure was 57% in the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, compared with the Wandsworth local authority average of 68%. The school's national percentile ranking of 65th places it just below the midpoint nationally. Looking at individual subjects, 82% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, with an average scaled score of 105, and 22% achieved the higher standard. Reading was weaker, with 63% reaching the expected level and an average score of 103. Writing saw 75% meet expectations. Only 6% of pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects. Progress scores are not available for the current cohort, so it is difficult to say how much value the school adds compared with pupils' starting points.

The school offers a solid range of facilities for a primary, including an ICT suite, library, playing fields, sports hall, sensory room, art studios, and a chapel. Sports provision covers netball, football, swimming, and gymnastics, and there are clubs such as chess, eco club, choir, and book club. Sellincourt has a resourced provision and supports pupils with moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, and other difficulties or disabilities. With 32.9% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a relatively disadvantaged intake compared with the national average. The school is oversubscribed, so families applying from outside the immediate catchment area should be realistic about their chances. For those seeking an Outstanding-rated alternative, Gatton (VA) Primary School is 0.8 km away. Sellincourt suits families who value a Good-rated, inclusive local school with strong early years provision and a broad range of activities, and who are comfortable with its below-average KS2 outcomes.
