Wallington High School for Girls (WHSG) Admission Guide (2026-2027)

Admission is a two-stage process. All applicants first sit the multiple-choice Selective Eligibility Test (SET), shared across Sutton's grammar schools (so a girl sits it once). Girls who reach the required standard are invited to the Nonsuch and Wallington Second Stage Entrance Examination (NWSEE) — a written Maths paper and a written English writing task (no comprehension paper, no reasoning) — shared with Nonsuch High School for Girls and held at Nonsuch. The final rank order combines the SET and the two NWSEE papers in a 1:1:1 ratio (equally weighted). Places are offered after children with an EHCP naming the school, then to looked-after children, then to Pupil Premium pupils who pass, then to girls in the catchment (up to 110 places, by score), and then to other qualifying girls. Always confirm the current arrangements in the school's admissions policy.

Wallington High School for Girls gives priority to girls living within its catchment area, defined as a 6.7 km radius measured from the school's main entrance. Up to 110 places are allocated to catchment girls who achieve the qualifying standard, ranked by their score.

Girls living outside the 6.7 km radius can still apply and be offered any places remaining after catchment allocations, but catchment residence is a significant advantage. As the school is heavily oversubscribed, reaching the qualifying standard does not guarantee a place even within catchment.

WHSG's entrance tests reward accuracy and pace. For Stage 1 (the SET), practise multiple-choice English and Maths under timed conditions; for Stage 2 (the NWSEE), practise a written English writing task and standard-format Maths, as the second-stage papers are not multiple-choice. The steps below work for both stages.
