About Wimbledon Park Primary School

Wimbledon Park Primary School is a large state primary in Merton, currently educating 636 pupils against a capacity of 734, meaning there is some physical room to grow but demand far outstrips supply. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 397 total applications for just 89 places, with 144 families listing it as their first preference and only 87 of those receiving offers. That works out at 4.46 applications per place, a clear signal of its popularity. Just 7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well below the national primary average of around 23%, indicating a relatively affluent intake. The school is non-denominational and mixed, with nursery provision from age three. It is one of ten primary schools in Merton rated Outstanding by Ofsted, and the nearest other Outstanding option is Bishop Gilpin CofE Primary School, 1.4 kilometres away.
