Bandon Hill Primary School: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 44 families put Bandon Hill Primary School as their first choice and 200 named it as one of their preferences, for 49 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2026 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
Sutton published that the last place offered for 2025 entry went to a family 1238 metres away. The cut-off moves every year with the number of applications.
Across Sutton, 92% of families were offered their first-choice primary school for 2026 entry, and 100% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Sutton lodged 8 appeals against primary school offers; 1 reached a hearing and none succeeded.
