About

Welcome to Sutton Grammar School, a thriving state-funded selective school situated in the centre of Sutton, with excellent transport links by bus and train. We take 150 boys each year into Year 7, and the vast majority will stay at the school for seven years.

Other students join the school in the Sixth Form; each year, we plan to take about fifty extra students (males or females) into Year 12. The students get excellent results in academic exams, but just as important is that they leave the school confident, articulate young people.

They have a balance of qualifications, skills and experiences that prepare them well for entry to leading universities and professional careers. Our school puts the nurture of its students' welfare on par with the nurture of their intellect.

We value breadth in studies; there is strong support for the arts and sports and for students maintaining a broad range of subjects throughout their time at the school, including in the Sixth Form, where four subjects at A-level is the average load for each student.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.

Governing body (17 current, 3 former)

iAcademy trust: local governing body and trust board.

14 governors are linked to a profile (all confirmed).

Governors marked “Confirmed same person” have exactly the same forename and surname as the only officer of that name at the school’s own academy trust company on the Companies House register, so we treat them as the same person. The governance record itself comes from DfE.
