Schools in Wallington
Wallington in the London Borough of Sutton has 16 schools in the catchment.school database, including 9 primaries and 3 secondaries – Wilson's School, Wallington High School for Girls, and Wallington County Grammar School. All three secondaries are selective grammar schools, which is highly unusual in London: Sutton is one of only two London boroughs that retains full academic selection at secondary level. Entry is via the consortium grammar school test held each September.
All six Ofsted-rated schools in Wallington are rated Good or Outstanding, and with four schools currently at or above their admission number and an average fill rate of 85%, competition for places at the most sought-after schools is sustained. Four schools hold a religious designation (Church of England or Roman Catholic). Families seeking non-selective secondary provision will typically need to look beyond Wallington to neighbouring Sutton or Croydon areas, or apply to a faith school under its own admissions criteria.
