LONDON KINGSTON-UPON-THAMES GRAMMAR SCHOOLS

​

London Grammar schools with an 11+ entry exam are split into seven distinct areas.

One of these is Kingston-upon-Thames.

​

There are two Grammar Schools in Kingston-upon-Thames:

​

Tiffin Boys School

Tiffin Girls’ School

​

As London only has a partial provision of Grammar School places competition for places is high.

​

* Think about what Grammar Schools you qualify for. It is important to fully understand what impact the individual catchment area of each school has. Some schools have no catchment area, others have very tightly defined areas.

​

* Visit each school if you can. Many will allow an individual visit during term time, others only show the school on open days.

​

* Plan the exam schedule and find a good institute to help to study.

SUTTON BOROUGH GRAMMAR SCHOOLS

​

The following schools participate in a common Stage One Selective Eligibility Test (SET): 
 

Sutton Grammar School (boys) 
Wilson’s School (boys) 
Nonsuch High School for Girls 
Wallington County Grammar School (boys) 
Wallington High School for Girls 
Greenshaw High School (mixed) – this is a partially selective school

                                                              with 60 places allocated based on academic ability

​

​

* Boy/girl twins or siblings will be allocated to sit the test at Greenshaw High School irrespective of your post code.

 

* The school your child attends to sit the Selective Eligibility Test has no relevance to your preferences for a school place. 

* The following schools also have Second Stage tests. 

      Sutton Grammar School 
      Wilson’s School 
      Nonsuch High School for Girls 
     Wallington High School for Girls 
 

* Wallington County Grammar School and Greenshaw High School do not have Second Stage tests. 

* Sutton Grammar School and Wilson’s School share their second stage entrance tests.

 

* It is important to note that Wilson’s School and Sutton Grammar School have different Admissions Criteria and different methods of combining the scores from the SET and Second Stage Test and of calculating the final outcome of the entrance tests.

 

* This means that it is possible that a boy may pass the examinations for one school and not for the other. The school your child attends to sit the Second Stage Examination has no relevance to your preferences for a school place. 

* Nonsuch High School for Girls and Wallington High School for Girls have a common Second Stage Test. Both the test and the criteria applied to be of selective ability will be common to both schools. All girls who have passed the Selective Eligibility Test will receive an invitation to sit the Nonsuch and Wallington Second Stage Entrance Examination (known as NWSSEE). The NWSSEE will be held at Nonsuch High School for Girls.

 

* If your daughter is deemed to be of selective ability, you will be able to name either or both schools on your CAF in your chosen order of preference. The outcome of the second stage entrance examinations will be emailed before the deadline for the Common Application Form.
