How far offers reached
Each bar shows how far from Wallington High School for Girls the last child offered a place lived, under the last admission rule the offers reached. Up to five years, on one scale.
Qualifying is not the same as being offered a place.
Reaching the school's standard means your child can be considered. If more children qualify than there are places, the school gives places using its admission rules, in order. The figures below show how far those rules reached in past years. They are history, not a prediction: they change every year with who applies.
Applications and offers, September 2026 entry (Department for Education)
How many families applied to Wallington High School for Girls and how many places it offered. Applicants per place is all applications divided by offers. Families apply to several schools and not every applicant qualifies, so it is not the chance of a place.

About these figures
Is there a Wallington Girls cut-off score?
Not one you can look up. The pass marks for the SET and for each NWSSEE paper are fixed after the papers are marked, and the school does not publish past pass marks or the lowest total offered a place. Nor have we found any official list of past cut-offs.
What families are told is limited. At the SET stage, children who pass are told only that they reached the standard; children who do not pass for any school receive their age-standardised paper scores and totalSutton SET: Set score disclosureChecked 9 Oct 2026 against Wilson's School.The source says: If your child does not meet the required standard for any of the participating schools, you will be given his/her standardised scores in both papers, which will include any appropriate age adjustment and their total score.
View the official source. After the NWSSEE, passing both papers brings a message of eligibility without scores; not passing a paper brings the standardised score and that paper's pass markWallington High School for Girls: Results disclosure2027Checked 9 Oct 2026 against Wallington High School for Girls.The source says: If your daughter passes both the English and Maths NWSSEE papers and is therefore deemed to be of selective ability, you will not be given her scores but you will be told that she is eligible for a place.

Notes on these dates
Where things stand for Year 6 families: both tests are done and NWSSEE outcomes are on their way. Whatever you hear, the council application still has to go in on time, and your home address on the catchment date is the one that counts. Two 2027-entry cells show awaiting confirmation only because official sources print different dates for them; both have passed, so they no longer affect anyone.

Pupil premium girls
Pupil premium is extra government funding a school receives for some children, for example those who have had free school meals. At Wallington Girls it helps in two ways. The first is a lower bar in the tests. The joint rule for the two girls' schools reads: Nonsuch and Wallington High School for Girls: PP-registered candidates may score up to 20% below the standardised SET pass mark (and NWSSEE pass marks); primary school must return the GLT PP form before the SET.Sutton SET: Girls schools pp concession2027Checked 9 Oct 2026 against Wilson's School.The source says: For Nonsuch High School for Girls and Wallington High School for Girls, candidates who are registered as Pupil Premium at their Primary School are eligible to achieve up to 20% lower than the standardised pass mark for the SET

What each part of the score is worth
| Wallington Girls ranking, 2027 entry | |
|---|---|
| How the total is built | Final total = SET score (re-standardised and divided by 2) + standardised NWSSEE English + standardised NWSSEE Maths. Policy 4.5 wording: NWSSEE marks added to half the SET aggregate mark, "with each part carrying equal weight".Wallington High School for Girls: Score composition (2027)Checked 9 Oct 2026 against Wallington High School for Girls.The source says: The final total score is the sum of the SET score (re-standardised and divided by 2), the standardised English NWSSEE score and the standardised Maths NWSSEE score.View the official source |
| Round two papers | NWSSEE English; NWSSEE MathsWallington High School for Girls 2027 entry: Stage2 papersChecked 9 Oct 2026 against Wallington High School for Girls.The source says: Each paper will last between 40 and 50 minutes. The tests will not include verbal reasoning or non-verbal reasoning. There is no comprehension paper for English in the NWSSEE.View the official source |
In everyday terms, the total has three equal parts and two of them come from the written NWSSEE papers. So the second round carries twice the weight of the SET by the time girls are put in order. The Sutton SET guide has more on the tests.
