Nonsuch High School for Girls
Sutton, SM3 8AB · Sutton · Grammar school
4th 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 the 328 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 9.4/10 among them, against 9.9/10 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 | 87 | 35% | 3.04 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 98.7 · 99 | 30% | 2.97 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 1.02 · 98 | 25% | 2.44 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 80.5 · 100 | 10% | 0.99 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being 211 pupils over capacity? What specific support is offered to help pupils maintain their high attainment levels? How does the after-school club operate for students with late finishes?
