Merton School Catchment Areas
Schools in Merton split across 43 primaries and 9 secondaries, with catchment boundaries set afresh each admissions cycle by the council's school admissions team.
Expect the tightest competition in and around London and Mitcham, where popular primaries are regularly oversubscribed and last-distance-offered figures can shrink to a few hundred metres.
Selective schools are part of the mix in Merton - for those applying to grammar schools, a selective admissions test is required in addition to the standard admissions process.
Based on the latest published capacity data, 4 of the 73 schools in Merton are at or above their admission number, so catchment distance is decisive at those schools. Merton has 5 selective schools that admit by entrance test rather than distance. 16 schools apply faith-based criteria alongside catchment distance. Of the 19 Merton schools with a current Ofsted rating, 19 are rated Good or Outstanding.
