Lowther Primary School is a primary school (Community school), ages 3–11, in London, SW13, run by Richmond upon Thames council. It has 244 pupils in the published census. Latest Ofsted inspection (11 January 2023): School remains Good.
In 2024 the last place offered on distance went to a child living 1.08 miles away.
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.
Each school sets its own measure. Community schools and most others use a straight line from the Ordnance Survey address point of the home to the school gate, measured with the council's geographical information system. Some schools instead use "the shortest route by road and/or maintained footpath": Turing House School (to its 'Sun Stairs' door for 20% of places and to a nodal admissions point in Somerset Gardens, Teddington for 80%) and Waldegrave School (to the nearest pedestrian gate, within priority areas A and B). Two figures are published per school per year: the National Offer Day cut-off (used for max_distance) and the furthest distance offered by the end of national coordination on 31 August (in notes).
By the end of national coordination every applicant who named the school had been offered a place from the waiting list.
