Graveney School Year 7 admissions criteria
Priority order
- Children whose EHCP names Graveney School
- 70 selective places, ranked by the Wandsworth Year 6 Test and then straight-line distance at an equal score
- For the 210 open places: looked-after and previously looked-after children
- For the open places: children meeting the published sibling criterion
- For the open places: children with accepted acute medical or exceptional social need
- For the open places: eligible children of Graveney staff
- For the open places: all other applicants, ordered by straight-line distance
Sibling priority
The sibling must attend Graveney at the time of application. The published definition covers a full sibling, a step- or half-sibling living at the same address, a child living as part of the family because of a court order, or a foster child placed by a local authority.
Children of staff
A parent must hold a permanent contract and have worked at Graveney for at least two years when the application is made, or have been recruited for a demonstrable skills shortage.
How distance is measured
Wandsworth measures a straight line from the home property's mapped location to the central point of the school site using its official GIS. An exact tie is randomly ordered. A postcode-centroid screen is approximate rather than the council's official measurement.
Evidence to prepare
- The home council's Common Application Form naming Graveney School
- Wandsworth Year 6 Test registration by 3 September 2026 for all non-EHCP applicants
- Proof of the permanent home address
- Professional evidence if claiming acute medical or exceptional social need
- Sibling details or employment evidence if claiming those priorities
Other published rules
- All non-EHCP applicants must take the Wandsworth Year 6 Test and are automatically considered for selective places. SchoolRange does not request or predict a test score; the official result and complete applicant cohort determine selective ranking.
- No supplementary information form is required for ordinary Year 7 admission.
Application deadline
Apply through the council where your child lives, even if the school is in another borough.
