Support for families preparing for selective state grammar school entry, including the Sutton Selective Eligibility Test (SET).
Schools in Sutton and Wallington have school-specific admissions policies. The common first-stage SET is not the entire selection process for every school. Families should check each school’s current published arrangements.
Build secure English comprehension, vocabulary, mathematics, reasoning and timed exam technique. Preparation is planned around each pupil’s starting point.
Year 4: foundations and reading. Year 5: structured practice and timed papers. Year 6: review school-specific requirements and final-stage preparation.
Check catchment or residence requirements, registration deadlines, age eligibility, test stages and the current admissions policies before applying.
The Sutton Selective Eligibility Test (SET) is shared by six participating schools. Passing the SET is not an offer of a place. Five schools use further second-stage assessments; Greenshaw uses SET results for selective ability places. Always check eligibility, admissions criteria and registration directly with each school.
