Henry Cavendish Primary School is a primary school (Community school), ages 3–11, in London, SW12, run by Lambeth council. It has 873 pupils in the published census. Latest Ofsted inspection (16 May 2024): Outstanding.
Distances are in miles (mi), as in the map app. PAN is the published admission number. Bands and admission groups have separate criteria; school-wide places, applications and offers are not counts for each band. Past offers are a guide, not a promise of a place.
The council's tables give the last distance offered in metres, "straight line" for community schools and most others; some foundation and voluntary-aided schools state a walking route instead (e.g. Julian's Primary School "shortest walking route", and "safest walking route" / "walking distance" for some church schools), recorded per school in notes. Figures are as at National Offer Day and cover on-time applications only.
Two sites admitted separately, each with its own cut-off (no single school-wide distance): Balham site: PAN 60, 330 on-time applications, last distance offered 0.252 miles; Streatham site: PAN 60, 270 on-time applications, last distance offered 0.476 miles.
