Distance rules differ

Where you live counts for very different amounts. At Nonsuch, for example: Up to 125 places for girls whose home on 31 October 2026 is 5.25 km or less from the front door of Nonsuch, straight line, verified by LB Sutton GISSource for Nonsuch High School for Girls: Catchment (2027)Nonsuch High School for Girls: Catchment (2027)CloseChecked 9 Oct 2026 against Nonsuch High School for Girls.The source says: is 5.25 km or less from the front door of Nonsuch measured in a straight lineView the official source.

Greenshaw's ability places

Greenshaw uses the SET in its own way: Child must reach Greenshaw's required SET pass mark (decided by the participating schools after marking; each school sets its own) and name Greenshaw on the CAF; the up-to-60 ability places are then allocated in rank order of SET performance (distance is not used to rank within this priority). Children who do not reach the pass mark can still apply under the other criteria.Source for Sutton SET: Selective rule2027Sutton SET: Selective rule2027CloseChecked 9 Oct 2026 against Greenshaw Learning Trust.The source says: Places are allocated in rank order of performance.View the official source
