What families in Sutton need to know
- SET is the name of the test, not a testing company — it is often miscategorised as an exam board. Sutton's schools do not publish who writes the papers.
- Stage 1 covers maths and English, multiple choice, with no verbal or non-verbal reasoning.
- Six schools share Stage 1: Greenshaw High (selective band), Nonsuch High for Girls, Sutton Grammar, Wallington County Grammar, Wallington High for Girls and Wilson's. Sutton Grammar, Wallington County and Wilson's share a boys' Stage 2; the girls' schools run their own.
