Wallington High School for Girls
Wallington, SM6 0PH · Sutton · Grammar school
2nd 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 — 9.9/10 against 589 of them, against 9.8/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 99.5 · 100 | 46% | 4.59 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.92 · 96 | 38% | 3.71 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 80.5 · 100 | 15% | 1.53 |
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, 99.5% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 80.5, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 in 2023/24 was +0.92, indicating pupils did better than those 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 (9.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 1547 pupils in a capacity of 1460, meaning it is over capacity by 87. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity by 87 places? What support is available for pupils to maintain their high progress scores? How does the school ensure equitable access to opportunities given its competitive entry process?
