Sutton uses a TWO-STAGE selection system: Stage 1 — the Selective Eligibility Test (SET), shared by all five Sutton grammar schools: two papers of roughly 40-50 minutes (English and maths), content broadly based on the Key Stage 2 national curriculum. The SET does NOT test verbal or non-verbal reasoning. Sat in mid-September of Year 6; one sitting covers every participating school. Stage 2 — children who pass the SET are invited to a second-stage entrance exam at each school they're interested in, a few weeks later (the schools group their second-stage dates: historically Nonsuch and Wallington Girls on one Saturday; Wilson's, Wallington County and Sutton Grammar on another). Second-stage papers are NOT multiple-choice — written answers, still based on Key Stage 2 content but more demanding. Final selection uses the second-stage performance plus each school's own oversubscription criteria.

Of the 155-student 2019/20 leaver cohort, sustaining a higher-education destination the following year. This is the last cohort the Department for Education published with an Oxbridge/Russell Group breakdown — these categories were discontinued as official accountability measures after this release, so a more recent figure does not exist.
