Sutton Grammar second stage and 2027 admissions
Sutton Grammar requires SET qualification and the shared boys’ second stage. Its 2027 policy adjusts both stages for age and IDACI income deprivation. Do not borrow Wilson’s 1:2:2 formula: Sutton Grammar’s policy must be read on its own terms.

School-specific rules to check
Source: Sutton Grammar 2027 determined policy (accessed 2026-09-24)
The policy includes looked-after children, eligible permanent staff children, qualifying Pupil Premium applicants, postcode-based ranked places and remaining ranked places. The categories interact within the admission number. Check the named postcodes and evidence conditions directly before relying on a priority route.
Prepare for written answers
Source: Sutton Grammar second-stage FAQs (accessed 2026-09-24)
The shared second stage uses written English and maths. Use a short written explanation and a maths problem where the child states the final answer clearly, then discuss the decision that caused any mistake.
Before submitting preferences
- Keep the exact result and invitation wording.
- Check the 2027 policy’s criteria rather than a historical offer score.
- Confirm any category evidence and deadline with the school.
- Submit the home council application separately from test registration.
