Sutton Grammar School
Sutton, SM1 4AS · Sutton · Grammar school
8th of 15 secondary schools in Sutton we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.7/10 against 296 of them, against 9.9/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 99.2 · 99 | 30% | 2.98 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 1.16 · 99 | 25% | 2.47 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 80.3 · 99 | 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, last inspected in 2022. In 2024/25, 99.2% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 80.3, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +1.16 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils nationally who started from the same place. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.9 out of 10 against all schools).
