What the data says

Of the 150 pupils who finished Year 11 at Wallington County Grammar School in 2023, 98% stayed on in Wallington County Grammar School’s own sixth form (Sutton average 68%), 1% went to a further education college and none started an apprenticeship.

Among the 178 students who left the sixth form in 2023, 76% went to university (Sutton 72%, England 37%), and 67% of level 3 students progressed to one of the most selective universities, against 19% nationally.

GCSE results in 2025 were well above the national picture: Attainment 8 of 77.7 against 46.1 across England and 59.3 in Sutton, with 99% of pupils getting grade 5 or above in both English and maths (England 45%) — as a selective grammar school, Wallington County Grammar School admits pupils by test at 11, which drives these figures.

Computer Science is unusually popular at GCSE: 58% of the year group took it, against 13% of pupils across England.
