Schools in Wandsworth, London
A settlement recorded in the Domesday survey of 1086, Wandsworth spans a broad arc of Inner London running south from the Thames through Victorian and Edwardian streets to the open commons of its southern edge. Battersea is widely regarded as one of the borough's most competitive postcodes for state school places, its regenerated riverside drawing a steady wave of families into already tight catchments. Putney and Southfields draw families competing for primary places, with Southfields in particular known for its school catchments along streets of period terraces. Southfields station puts the western borough directly on the District line, while Clapham Junction handles National Rail connections across south London. Roehampton adds a quieter option to the west.
