Questions parents ask
When is the Sutton SET for 2028 entry?
Not published yet. For 2027 entry the SET was on 15 September 2026, with registration closing on 31 July 2026. The schools publish each year's dates in spring, and we add them once they are official.
What is the Sutton second stage?
Boys who qualify for Sutton Grammar, Wilson's or Wallington County sit a shared written English and Maths second stage, not multiple choice. Girls who qualify for Nonsuch or Wallington Girls sit a written Maths paper and an English composition, with no comprehension paper. The schools do not publish specimen papers.
How do the schools combine the SET and the second stage?
Each school publishes its own method. Wilson's uses a ratio of 1 : 2 : 2 for the SET, second-stage English and second-stage Maths. Wallington County counts the SET as two fifths and the second stage as three fifths. Nonsuch and Wallington Girls halve the re-standardised SET score and add the second-stage scores. Sutton Grammar adds both stages but does not publish a ratio.
Does Greenshaw High School use the SET?
Yes, for up to 60 ability places. It is not one of the five grammar schools, so check Greenshaw's own admissions policy for how those places are given.
