What the data says

Of the 209 pupils who finished Year 11 at Wallington High School for Girls in 2023, 95% stayed on in Wallington High School for Girls’ own sixth form (Sutton average 68%), 1% went to a further education college and none started an apprenticeship.

Among the 236 students who left the sixth form in 2023, 81% 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 80.5 against 46.1 across England and 59.3 in Sutton, with 100% of pupils getting grade 5 or above in both English and maths (England 45%) — as a selective grammar school, Wallington High School for Girls admits pupils by test at 11, which drives these figures.

German is unusually popular at GCSE: 28% of the year group took it, against 5% of pupils across England.
