Wallington County Grammar School 11 Plus Admissions

Wallington County Grammar School is part of the Pan-London Coordinated Admissions Scheme, which means admission to the school is determined by pupil performance in the Selective Eligibility Test (SET), similar to the standard 11 Plus exam. With 150 places available at Year 7, the school encourages prospective students and their parents to attend one of their open events, which usually take place in July. At the open events, parents and students can learn more about the admissions process and have an opportunity to tour the school and speak to staff.

Wallington County Grammar is consistently oversubscribed, so in the likely event of there being more applications than there are places, the school uses the following oversubscription criteria, giving priority to:

1. Children who are looked after by a local authority (LA)
2. Children in rank order of performance in the SET
3. Children eligible for free school meals (up to 15 places)
4. Children who live in one of the school’s designated postcodes
5. Children of permanent staff who work at the Folio Education Trust

Parents are advised to thoroughly read Wallington County Grammar’s admissions criteria before taking their son’s application further.

How to Apply for 11 Plus Entry to Wallington County Grammar School

Parents who wish to register their son to sit the SET must complete a Supplementary Form, which can be found on the school’s website when registration is open. To apply for a place at the school, parents must complete the Common Application Form (CAF) issued by their LA.

Those who live in London, or Surrey, can complete the CAF online.  Only one form needs to be completed, even if you are applying to more than one school in the Sutton area.

Parents will receive information on the outcome of the SET in late September.
