Sutton Grammar School
Sutton, Surrey, Greater London · SM1 4AS
Among the country's superselective boys' grammar schools, Sutton Grammar combines fierce academic competition for places with notably calm conduct, earning an Outstanding rating from Ofsted for pupil behaviour at its 2022 inspection. Now home to around 1,043 boys against a stated capacity of 840, the school is running well over its intended size, reflecting steady demand. Entry at 11 is restricted to just 150 places, assessed in English and Maths through a bespoke test as part of the Sutton Selective Eligibility Test consortium. Just over a third of pupils speak English as an additional language, and very few are eligible for free school meals.
