Wilson's / Sutton Grammar / Wallington County: Second Stage Practice

Second Stage Entrance Examination Practice

Wilson's School, Sutton Grammar School and Wallington County Grammar School share one Second Stage Entrance Examination (SSEE): a boy who passes the Selective Eligibility Test sits this ONE second-stage sitting, not a separate one per school. It is a different exam entirely from Stage 1. It is not multiple choice, it is based on Key Stage 2 content, and it has two papers: a standard written Maths paper of multi-step word problems, and a single extended piece of English writing responding to a given text. There is no pass/fail readiness band here, because a self-assessed mark isn't comparable across sittings the way an auto-marked Stage 1 score is.

Candidate Details

We ask for birth month and year (not a full date of birth) because the real test is age-standardised, so results are only meaningful when compared with children of the same age in months.

  1. 01Paper 1 (Mathematics): 5 open-answer problems, worked and self-marked.
  2. 02Paper 2 (English): 1 extended piece of writing responding to a given text.
  3. 03Each paper is timed, based on the suggested time per question. Once started, it cannot be paused.
  4. 04After both papers, you'll see a model answer and mark scheme for each question and enter your own marks. There is no auto-marked score.

You'll be asked to sign in first. That's what keeps your child's answers private and available on your other devices.

Unofficial practice resource. Built from the schools' own admissions pages and consistent public reporting of the SSEE's format and topics. It is not an official specimen paper, and the schools do not publish exact question counts, total marks, or sample papers. Each of the three schools applies its own separate admissions criteria to the same SSEE result, so a boy may be offered a place at one school and not another from an identical paper. Some older accounts describe Sutton Grammar historically running two shorter writing pieces rather than the one longer piece modelled here; this practice content follows the schools' current shared format. Self-marked: scores here reflect your own or a parent's judgement against the mark scheme shown, not school marking.
