Carshalton Boys Sports College
Carshalton, SM5 1RW · Sutton · secondary school
13th of 15 secondary schools in Sutton we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.8/10 against 794 of them, against 4.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 43.6 · 49 | 30% | 1.48 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.14 · 39 | 25% | 0.98 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 45.0 · 46 | 10% | 0.46 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 43.6% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 45.0, slightly above the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.14 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly worse than peers nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.5 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in 2022.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils visit Goldsmith's University, the UCAS Convention, and the University of Reading.
Getting in. The school has 1521 pupils in a capacity of 1197, meaning it is over capacity by 324. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With the school significantly over capacity, how does the admissions process handle oversubscription? Since the last inspection was in 2022, what specific improvements have been made since then? How does the school support pupils in preparing for university applications beyond the listed trips?
