About West Hill Primary School

West Hill Primary School in Wandsworth is a school that clearly appeals to local families, with 70 applications chasing just 31 places for the 2025/26 intake, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.26. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation among parents, though it is worth noting that only 12 of those applications were first-preference choices, meaning many families are listing it as a backup option. The school is led by headteacher Richard Milsom and caters to 155 pupils aged 3 to 11, operating well below its capacity of 210. In its most recent ungraded Ofsted inspection in 2024, the school was confirmed to remain Good, a rating it has held consistently across its previous graded inspections. The early years provision, leadership and management, and overall effectiveness were all judged Good, which provides a solid baseline for parents considering the school for their child's early education.
