Admissions summary

How places are prioritised

For September 2027, named EHCPs are admitted separately. The governors then use eight ordered categories, beginning with Catholic looked-after boys and Catholic applicants, followed by other looked-after boys, catechumens, Eastern Orthodox applicants, other faith applicants and other boys.

Wimbledon College Year 7 admissions criteria

Priority order

  1. Children whose EHCP names Wimbledon College
  2. Catholic looked-after and previously looked-after boys
  3. Baptised Catholic boys with a Certificate of Catholic Practice
  4. Baptised Catholic boys without a Certificate of Catholic Practice
  5. Other looked-after and previously looked-after boys
  6. Boys enrolled in the catechumenate
  7. Boys who are members of Eastern Orthodox Churches
  8. Boys who are members of other faiths, Churches and denominations
  9. Other boys

Sibling priority

Within every category, priority first goes to a boy with a brother at Wimbledon College or a brother or sister at Ursuline High School Wimbledon when he starts.

Children of staff

The second tie-break within every category covers a parent employed at Wimbledon College for at least two years when applying, or recruited for a vacant post with a demonstrable skills shortage.

How distance is measured

After sibling, staff and accepted social, pastoral or medical need tie-breaks, Merton's GIS measures straight line from the school entrance to the home address. SchoolRange's postcode-centre distance is approximate.

Evidence to prepare

  • Wimbledon College Admissions Administration Form by 31 October 2026
  • Baptismal certificate or evidence of reception into the Catholic Church when claiming a Catholic category
  • Certificate of Catholic Practice when claiming category 2
  • Evidence of catechumenate enrolment, Eastern Orthodox Baptism, or other faith membership when relevant
  • Sibling, staff or professional evidence when claiming a within-category tie-break
  • Proof of the home address used for the application

Other published rules

  • The Admissions Administration Form is separate from the home council's Common Application Form.
  • Without the school form, the governors consider the application only after applicants who submitted it.
  • Where logistically possible, twins and all siblings from a multiple birth are admitted when one is the last child ranked within PAN.
  • An otherwise unresolved equal-distance tie is decided by drawing lots.

Application deadline

Apply through the council where your child lives, even if the school is in another borough.

What recent offers show

SchoolRange has not found a comparable official recent allocation boundary for each of the eight categories, so it does not manufacture a historical range.
