What the data says
Of the 135 pupils who finished Year 11 at Sutton Grammar School in 2023, 96% stayed on in Sutton Grammar School’s own sixth form (Sutton average 68%), none went to a further education college and none started an apprenticeship.
Among the 177 students who left the sixth form in 2023, 75% went to university (Sutton 72%, England 37%), and 78% 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 80.3 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, Sutton Grammar School admits pupils by test at 11, which drives these figures.
German is unusually popular at GCSE: 30% of the year group took it, against 5% of pupils across England.
