You can use the distance checker tool to find out the approximate distance between a Sutton address and schools in the area.

The tool includes:

  • all schools in Sutton (apart from independent fee paying or special schools)
  • nearby schools in Kingston, Croydon, Merton, and Surrey
  • the distance some of the schools have offered places to in the last 3 years

How to use the distance checker

1. Select the map for the type of school

2. Enter your address

Enter the first line of your address and your postcode.

For example:

Civic Centre St Nicholas Way SM1 1EA

Applying for a school place

Distance is only one of the criteria used to award school places. You are not guaranteed a place at your nearest school.

Distances to schools outside Sutton may be approximate. Please check with other boroughs for more accurate distances.

Before applying for a school place, read the guidance booklets for Starting Primary School or Starting Secondary School. These explain each school’s admissions criteria and how the admissions process works.
