The Metropolitan Police said multiple parents were also hit in the road traffic collision outside Beatrix Potter Primary School in Openview, SW18, in Wandsworth.
The London Ambulance Service said: "Our crews have now (6pm) left the scene of this road traffic incident in Openview, Earlsfield (SW18).
"We treated eleven patients, including seven children. We took four adults and five children to hospital while two children were discharged at the scene."
None of the injuries suffered are life-threatening, police added, though one child has a suspected fracture to their leg.
