How admission works
The school admits through the Selective Eligibility Test (SET), which is shared by six Sutton schools. Stage 1 is two multiple-choice papers, Maths and English, of roughly 40 to 50 minutes each, with no verbal or non-verbal reasoning. Boys who pass Stage 1 are invited to Stage 2, which is two written papers, Maths and English, of around 45 minutes to 1 hour each. Sutton Grammar School, Wallington County Grammar School and Wilson's School share the same Stage 2 test. Passing does not guarantee a place, and each school sets its own pass mark after the papers are marked.
After looked-after children and staff children's places, WCGS reserves up to 25 places for boys who pass both stages of testing and are eligible for Pupil Premium, plus a further up to 15 places for boys whose home address falls in a specific list of Sutton-area postcodes (SM1-SM7, and parts of KT4, CR0 and CR4). Remaining places go by test rank order, with ties broken by straight-line distance from home to the school's front entrance.
