Admissions Criteria

Sutton Grammar School admissions for Year 7 are based on a two-stage test process: the Selective Eligibility Test (SET) conducted by the participating schools, followed by a Stage 2 Entrance Examination (shared with some partner schools). Placement is determined by the rank order of examination results and is subject to the availability of places in individual subject courses. Priority is given to boys already at the school; external places are available, with external applicants admitted on an equal basis to boys and girls for Sixth Form entry as described. Registration for SET opens online and has specific deadlines; successful SET results may lead to invitation for Stage 2 tests, but passing SET does not guarantee a place. For Sixth Form, entry is based on GCSE results with priority given to current students, and external places are available.
