Situated in a spacious green site close to excellent

transport links, Sutton High School is an academically

selective independent school for girls aged 3 to 18 which

provides a broad and challenging curriculum for girls.

Strikingly positive relationships between the girls and

their teachers, both within the classroom and beyond,

make a significant contribution to the quality of the girls’

academic and personal development. Our girls feel safe

and cared for in a warm and secure environment which

gives them the space to develop a strong sense of who

they are and their place in the community. Frequent

leadership opportunities at all levels of the school

enable our girls to become articulate, confident and

resilient adults.

Our Sixth Form Centre, is designed to equip students

for the transition to university-level study. It provides

specialist teaching rooms, a dedicated ICT suite, art

studio and extensive space for independent study

as well as a fitness suite and a large common room.

Sport, music and drama feature prominently within

the school’s rich extra-curricular provision and facilities

include a newly-refurbished indoor swimming pool,

dance studio, sports hall and two large performance

spaces in which the girls are able to participate in

concerts and drama productions at the very highest levels.

Our Junior School and Senior School are accommodated

on the same green and open site in the centre of Sutton:

Junior School - 86 Grove Road,

Sutton Surrey SM1 2AL

Senior School – 55 Cheam Road,

Sutton Surrey SM1 2AX

About Sutton High School The Girls’ Day School Trust Sutton High School was founded in 1884 and shortly

after became part of the Girls’ Public Day School Trust

(GPDST).

Today, the GDST is the leading network of independent

girls’ schools in the UK. A Charitable Trust that owns

and runs 24 schools and 2 academies in the UK, it invests

all its income in its schools.

Since its foundation in 1872, the GDST has been at

the forefront of education for girls and a strong voice in

promoting opportunities for young women. Through the

GDST Alumnae network this continues after the girls

leave school.

Choosing an All Girls’ Environment Evidence and experience shows that girls work better,

develop more readily, and have more confidence in

themselves in an environment where the self-consciousness

of childhood and adolescence are less intense. The All Girl

environment is special; they learn, develop and grow as

young women, in a mutually supportive atmosphere.

It provides girls with the opportunity to explore and

succeed in a wide variety of subjects and activities, through

female-centred teaching strategies and the absence of

social distractions and the inherent stereotyping. As a

result, our girls leave school with the confidence to take

risks and embrace the challenges they will be faced with

at University and beyond.

Finding the right school Identifying the right school for your daughter is one of

the most important decisions you’ll ever have to make

for her. We are proud to be a member of and support the

Girls’ School Association (GSA) and endorse their website

mydaughter.co.uk. This website is dedicated to raising

girls and provides parents with advice, information and

support in their search for the right school.

The Senior School

Academic Life As an academic school, our role is to ensure that every

girl maximises her potential and receives the very best

educational experience. We are particularly proud of the

fact that, thanks to our excellent teaching, at GCSE and

A level, our girls regularly achieve much higher than the

grades they are predicted by national baseline tests.

Progress of students is reported to parents at regular

intervals throughout each year in interim reports,

parents’ evenings and subject reports. We believe

that every girl is an individual and therefore we set

personalised attainment targets for every girl in every

subject each year and monitor their progress towards

achieving them. It is a characteristic of Sutton High girls

that they love a challenge and they regularly exceed these

targets thanks to the support and extension they receive

from their teachers.

We offer an exciting programme of study for girls at

every level. Latest developments include the introduction

of computer science in Year 7 to develop skills in

programming languages required for Computer Science

courses, a overseas language immersion week for all

girls in Year 10 to enable them to practise the speaking

and listening skills they will require for their IGCSE

examinations and development of the Music curriculum

to take advantage of our state of the art MAC suite in the

Music Department.

In Year 7, all girls study Maths, English, Science,

Geography, History, Religious Studies, Art, Design

Technology, Music, Drama, PE, Computer Science and

Life Skills (our specially devised PSHCE programme).

Girls also choose to learn two modern languages from

a choice of French, German and Spanish. Latin is

introduced in Year 8 and girls study separate Biology,

Chemistry and Physics in Year 9 as they begin their study

for demanding IGCSE courses a year in advance of pupils

in many schools.

In Years 10 and 11, girls study up to ten subjects,

choosing up to four options in addition to the core

of Maths, English and Science (one option is separate

Sciences) with a minimum of one Modern Foreign

Language. The majority of subjects are examined by

IGCSEs giving girls a rigorous academic grounding

for future study. Girls can choose from a wide range

of options introduced in Years 7 to 9, with individual

interviews provided as part of the options process.

Girls specialise in the Sixth Form, choosing A Level

subjects on the basis of their academic strengths and

interests. A Careers and Higher Education specialist

provides one-to one support for our girls as they explore

their options for A levels and beyond. Currently,

they sit four AS subjects in the first year and three

A2 in the second alongside a specially tailored course

preparing them for the Extended Project Qualification,

an independent research project highly valued by

universities. The majority of girls go on to study at

Russell Group Universities, with some preferring

to pursue performance related courses such as Art

Foundation or Music.

Full details of the subjects offered at A Level are available

in our Sixth Form Prospectus and on our website.

Subjects introduced at this stage include Economics,

Government and Politics and Psychology.

Beyond the classroom Girls at Sutton High pursue a breath taking array of

interests. In Music, activities such as rock band take

place in addition to choir and orchestra. In Drama,

many girls in Years 7 and 8 join the junior drama

production which takes place annually, and there are

many other opportunities for girls to participate in drama

productions including the much-anticipated biennial

joint musical with Sutton Grammar School.

We are very active in sport with regular fixtures

for teams and success in netball, hockey and tennis

competitions both locally and across the GDST. We

have an active STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering

and Maths) group which has been successful in national

competitions, a committed Amnesty group and energetic

Dance groups. A particular highlight every year is the

Dance Show which is organised entirely by the girls.

Girls are offered many opportunities to travel further

afield, with a wide variety of day trips to enhance the

curriculum as well as residential trips to the Isle of

Wight and Dorset in Years 7 and 8. Optional expeditions

have recently included trips to Italy, the Galapagos

Islands as well as skiing in North America.

Pastoral Care

Pastoral care is given a very high priority at Sutton;

the staff know their pupils extremely well and are adept

at helping them take advantage of the opportunities

provided by the School. The Pastoral team works closely

together to provide high quality and consistent care.

We develop a safe and supportive environment where

girls can learn from their mistakes and celebrate and

share their successes.

Girls entering Year 7 become part of Lower School. Your

daughter’s academic progress and pastoral well being will

be monitored by the Head of Lower School and Head of

Year. From Year 10 onwards girls enter Upper School and

will be under the supervision of the Head of Sixth Form

and Upper School, as well as her Head of Year.

Friendship and team work are developed and encouraged

throughout the Senior school. A Buddy and Mentoring

programme is in place in the Senior School and the

House systems and School Councils ensure vertical

integration at all ages and stages of school life.

A rich and meaningful programme of PSHCE promotes

understanding, respect and tolerance and enables all

girls to flourish and to grow into confident young adults

believing in themselves.

Frequent assemblies are a characteristic of our school life

and address moral issues and provide us opportunities

for informed decisions to be made. Whilst a multi-faith

approach is adopted, girls have many opportunities to

develop their spiritual awareness.

The School has a full time Nurse and is able to call on the

services of a School Doctor. A highly qualified Counsellor

is available, under referral guidelines, on a part-time

basis.

Relationships with home

We believe that home and school should work closely

together in order for girls to flourish and achieve their

academic potential.

We keep parents up to date with school information

and their daughter’s progress through our VLE (Virtual

Learning Environment) Firefly. Regular communications

are sent home electronically by email. We encourage

parents to embrace school life by joining us to enjoy

the talents and successes of their daughters at the many

concerts, plays, sporting events and competitions which

take place.

We receive generous support from our Parents’

Association who raise funds and organise many social

events and gatherings for our parents. In addition, there

are two further Associations who support the school in

Swimming and Gym: Otter who run swimming coaching

and Centipede who provide gym coaching and other

opportunities for girls and parents.

The School Day School begins at 08.25 with registration and ends at

15.40. Girls have a 20 minute break in the morning and

then a lunch break between 13.10 and 14.10. The school

day comprises 8 lesson periods each of 40 minutes.

Policies and Procedures Whole School Policies set out clear guidance and

expectations about behaviour. Every new family is given

an Information Pack when they join the school. This

includes our policies on Anti-bullying, Exclusions,

Safeguarding and our Complaints Procedure. Copies

of these and other policies are available on our website

or upon request at any time.

The Admissions Process

Senior School Sutton High School is an academically selective day

school for girls and entry at each stage of the school

is competitive.

part way through an academic year.

If you are interested in a place in the Senior School please

contact our Admissions Registrar on 020 8225 3001

or [email protected] . She will advise you if a

place is available and arrange for you to come and visit

the school. Following this visit, an assessment will be

not normally possible.

Moving into the Sixth Form Transfer from Year 11 to Year 12 is seen as normal

to apply for the following Sixth Form Scholarships:

Academic, Art, Drama, Music and Sport, according

to their ability and talents.

Entry to the Sixth Form at 16+ Places in the Sixth Form are offered based on an

subjects that they wish to study at A Level and a C grade

at AS in the subjects they wish to continue at A Level.

International Students We welcome applications from students who are

permanently resident outside the United Kingdom.

Overseas candidates undergo the same entry assessments

as UK residents. In some instances, we will ask students

to sit an EAL paper to assess their English language

skills. We can arrange for overseas candidates to sit

our assessment papers at their current school abroad.

However, we would strongly recommend that the student

visits Sutton High School prior to accepting a place

to join the school.

EAL Support We are extremely proud of the language support that

we are able to offer to overseas students joining us at

Sutton High School. We have experience in teaching

and supporting students who may need extra English

tuition and our EAL team also arranges coffee mornings

and events for other members of students’ families who

might also like support with their English. Provision is

also made for overseas students to sit public examinations

in their native language e.g. Mandarin or Japanese. Girls

with strong linguistic ability or native speakers may also

take subjects such as French, German, Spanish earlier

than they would normally do so.

Scholarships Scholarships are awarded on merit, irrespective of

financial means, and are typically 10% of the annual

school fees. Those who are awarded scholarships, which

carry considerable prestige both inside and outside the

school, will normally continue to hold the award for their

entire school career. It is possible to be awarded both a

scholarship and a bursary.

11+ Entry The 11+ Performance Scholarship Exams will take place

w/c 23 November 2015.

Academic and Performance Scholarships in Art, Music

and Sport are offered at 11+ Entry. Academic scholarships

are awarded based on performance in the 11+ Entrance

Examination. Our Performance Scholarships are assessed

separately.

16+ Entry The Sixth Form Scholarship Exams will take place w/c

28 September 2016. (The closing date for applications

is 7 September 2015). Academic Scholarships and

Performance Scholarships in Music, Drama, Art and

Sport are offered.

The value and number of scholarships awarded are made

at the discretion of the Headmistress.

Please contact the Admissions Registrar to register for

these Scholarship Exams.

Bursaries These are available for girls joining us at 11+ and 16+.

Their award is based on academic merit and the income

and financial resources of the candidate’s family. Bursary

applications are assessed by GDST Head Office and the

final award, based on the GDST assessment, is made

at the discretion of the Headmistress.

Bursary Applications are made via the GDST online

system. We strongly advise applications to be made

as early as possible. We try to assist as many families

qualifying for bursaries as possible; however, given the

demand, we are unfortunately not able to offer support

to all those who meet the criteria.

The Junior School Academic Life In Junior School we stretch the boundaries of the

National Curriculum at all levels and prepare our girls for

the rigours of 11+ Entrance. As girls enter the school in

our Nursery through to Year 6 they are taught specialist

subjects such as Music and PE by a team of specialist

teachers. A range of Modern Languages are taught by

specialists with all girls studying French from the age

of 3. In Years 3 and 4, girls have the opportunity to learn

Spanish and then in Years 5 and 6 we introduce Latin

and German. Our girls enjoy using dedicated resources

in terms of food technology labs, art studios, science

labs, our indoor swimming pool, dance studio and music

house. Extended opportunities are provided when girls

take part in Class Assemblies, group performances and

whole school concerts and plays. This allows them all

to develop their talents to the full. A specialist LDD

Co-ordinator ensures that support is available for girls

with learning difficulties.

Pastoral Care The Junior School is a nurturing place where girls are

encouraged and rewarded with ‘positive praise’. Our

weekly ‘Gold Book’ Assemblies are eagerly awaited by

the girls, as is the weekly award of the House Bear to the

House with the most points and they all embrace the

reward schemes in their classes. A special Annual Prize

Giving in the summer term, ensures that all our girls’

talents are celebrated and recognised.

Friendship and team work is developed and encourages

throughout the Junior School. A Buddy and mentoring

programme is in place and the House system and School

Council ensure vertical integration at all ages and stages

of school life.

Beyond the Classroom In Junior School a wealth of exciting clubs are available;

those girls who are green-fingered can enjoy the delights

of Gardening Club, while others can lose themselves in

the ‘world of words’ in Scrabble Club. In Junior School,

girls choose their clubs at the beginning of each term.

Day and residential trips (Y4 upwards) provide the girls

with memorable experiences that support and extend

their work in the classroom. We are lucky to be located

in such a central position, with easy access to London,

for exhibitions, museums and the theatre and other areas

of the country for exploring.

Relationships with Home We receive generous support from our Parents’

Association who raise funds and organise many social

events and gatherings for our parents. In addition, there

are two further Associations who support the school

in Swimming and Gym: Otter who run swimming

coaching and Centipede who provide gym coaching

and opportunities for girls and parents.

we will also offer a range of specific activities run by our

team of Early Years Teachers to include Music and PE.

The cost is £3 per session and includes the full use of

our Toddler Group facilities and refreshments for you

and your little ones. Toddler Group takes place every

Thursday morning (term time only) from 9.30am

to 11am.

Tops and Tails - Before and After School Care We provide a full wraparound care service for Junior

School pupils between the ages of 3 and 11. Housed

in purpose-built accommodation it allows parents

to park on site and to drop off and pick up their

daughters. We offer planned activities in a homely,

relaxed environment. For the first hour, girls in Year 3-6

do their homework in the quieter environment of the

‘Homework Club’ before joining the younger girls in

the main Tops and Tails room. Computers are available

for use by all the girls.

Care is available from 7.30am until the commencement

of the school day. Girls are accompanied to their classes

in time for morning registration. Care is also provided

at the end of the school day until 6.30pm. Younger girls

attending the afternoon session will be collected from

their classrooms.

A healthy breakfast is provided which includes fruit, fruit

juice or milk, yoghurt, cereal and toast. Tea is served in

The Admissions Process

Joining our Junior School At the first stage we encourage everyone interested in

joining our Junior School to visit the school and meet

with the Head of the Junior School. We will tailor the

visit to your requirements and based on the year of

entry that you are considering for your daughter. This

is the best way for you to get a feel for the school, to see

our girls and staff at work and for you to ask those all

important questions.

We hold Open Mornings throughout the year, when

our Year 6 girls provide tours of the school and the Head

of Junior School is available during the week for more

personalised tours.

Our Junior School Open Mornings for the coming

academic year are:

Thursday 23 April 2015 at 9am

Wednesday 30 May at 9am

Thursday 1 October at 9am

Wednesday 18 November at 9am

Wednesday 13 January 2016 at 9am

Thursday 25 February at 9am

Tuesday 26 April at 9am

Wednesday 18 May at 9am

Entry to the Junior School in Nursery We welcome girls into our Nursery as they are rising

3 and they are able to join us the half term before their

3rd birthday. Informal assessments comprising a play

session with girls of a similar age take place throughout

the year. Girls joining us in the Nursery will normally

be guaranteed a place into Reception at age 4+.

Entry to the Junior School in Reception to Year 6 In Reception we are able to offer 40 places across 2

forms. Places available in Reception depend on the

number of girls moving up from our Nursery. All

new girls applying for a place in Reception will have

an informal assessment, for which no preparation is

needed and we treat this very much as a ‘play session’.

Assessments will take place in January 2015 for entry

in September 2015.

At 7+, Year 3, we are able to offer an additional 8 places

across the year group. Girls wishing to join us at this

stage will have a formal assessment when they will be

asked to undertake short tests in Maths and English

and they will have an informal interview with the Head

of the Junior School.

Occasionally we have places available in Years 1 to

6. These places are offered following a more formal

assessment when girls will be asked to undertake short

tests in Maths, English and Reasoning and all girls will

have an informal interview with the Head of the Junior

School. We manage a waiting list system when Year

Groups are full.

With all assessments, we are very much looking for

potential rather than the current level at which a girl

is working.

Junior School offers are always made in writing,

as quickly as possible following an assessment.

Entrance Registration Fee and Deposit A non-refundable registration fee of £75 (£100 for

overseas candidates) is charged for taking the Entrance

Examination/Assessment and is not transferable from one

entrance year or sibling. A deposit of £500 is charged on

the acceptance of a place and will be retained until the

pupil leaves the school. The deposit will not be refunded

if the place is not taken up.

Notice The GDST gives at least one term’s notice of any increase

in fees. Fees for the following academic year are issued

in the April. Likewise the GDST requires a full term’s

notice of the withdrawal of a student or one term’s fees

in lieu of notice.

Girls giving notice to leave at the end of a school year,

other than Year 13, must do so on or before the first day

of the Summer Term. Having given notice, girls leaving

in Year 6 or Year 11 would need to re-apply for a place
