96% of children in Sutton have secured a preferred secondary school place this year, compared with a London average of 94%.

A total of 89% of Sutton pupils were offered a place at one of their top three preferences of secondary school, compared to a London average of 90%. 

69% of Sutton pupils received their first preference school, compared to a London average of 71%.

“I wish all of our students well as they prepare for their transition from primary to secondary school.”
