The test
What we know about the Sutton Selective Eligibility Test (SET) and the school’s Stage 2 test. Each detail is labelled with where it comes from.
- Reported
- The Selective Eligibility Test (SET) is the shared first stage for the Sutton grammar schools and for the selective places at Greenshaw High School. It is two multiple-choice papers, maths and English, of about 45 minutes each, with five answer options and a separate answer sheet; there is no verbal or non-verbal reasoning.
- Reported
- The SET English paper has sections on spelling, two texts and comparing the texts; some questions ask for two answers.
- Reported
- Stage 2 is written-answer (not multiple-choice) English and maths, for children who pass the SET at schools that use it. No pass mark is published.
- Reported
- For 2027 entry: registration 1 May to 31 July 2026; SET on 15 September 2026; Stage 2 on 26 September (Nonsuch, Wallington High) or 3 October 2026 (Wilson’s, Wallington County, Sutton Grammar). Wallington High says 2028-entry registration opens on 1 May 2027.
- Not published
- The number of questions, the timings, and the content and marks of Stage 2 (reading 25 and writing 20; maths 60 marks). These are not published.
Stage 2 English is a written paper; that it includes a writing task worth 20 marks is our assumption, as the content and marks are not published.

How to prepare
- Practise filling in a separate answer sheet, so marking the right box becomes automatic and no time is lost on test day.
- Practise writing answers in full, showing working in maths and using evidence from the text in English: marks are given for method and explanation, not just the final answer.
- Practise a timed piece of writing every week or two: five minutes planning, then a clear opening, middle and ending.
- Sit full mock tests under timed conditions only every week or two, and spend the time in between on the question types that cost marks.
