Sutton SET Result

Anyone knows when the SET result for Sutton schools will be out. Many children said exam was easy. I wonder how many will get through the first round and how hard will be the second stage

Btw for girls emails means nothing. They send emails to 95 percent of kids. (Most who say in second round). From around 1100 kids, only 400 will get seats. You can look at the freedom of request information on non such girls school website

Girls just get 1 email for both schools

Helpful to know, thank you

Does anyone know if it’s the same
for the girls in terms of getting emails from both schools? Or do they just get one email on behalf of both?

You will receive separate emails from all 3 schools letting you know whether you qualify or not. Boys who do not qualify get their scores. Boys who qualify do NOT get their scores.

I had no idea they get marks for a title - really?!?

@fitnessisthenewmantra - looks like we fitness-mums should hang out together in the 'forgot to put title' club! ha ha

lol..I wish both of them good luck and hope they both sail through 🤞🏼

I don’t think planning gets any marks (based on marking schemes I’ve seen across various mock papers). Paragraphs carry marks, so he might lose that - but he will only lose the specific couple of marks for it. It won’t reduce his overall marks for creativity, vocabulary, SPAG etc. Mine didn’t put a title (after having spent hours agonising over titles!) - I’m trying not to think about it Confused

My DD too forgot to put any title as she was stressed out with reduced time etc..I also felt the topic was too “creative” for a 10 yr old child..Trying not to stress out!😎

Thank you! That’s reassuring!

Hi! Just curious , on the results day next week for boys, will all of the 3 boys’ grammar schools email you regardless your son passes or not? Or will just the schools your son passes will write you?

Hey from the experience of attending so many mocks and actual exams, I haven’t seen even one instance where planning gets marks. Also planning is to help the actual piece of work. Also last year in one of the exam, it was mentioned that they don’t expect kids to finish the paper.

Thank you! Very helpful to know!

My son just admitted to us that he didn’t write a plan nor did he use paragraphs for his creative writing yesterday! Is the plan a must? Will they give marks for the plan? Husband is panicking now!

I think good thing is most kids will be at more or less same level and you just have to do better than others and not score maximum marks.The issue happens if you only prepare for one format and than you are cooked

Did the girl parents report the same on the English for stage 2? As in a different/unusual format? My DD did this and seems to think it was a bit out of the box. Just seeing if she got it totally wrong!

Edited

Yes it was a bit of a ‘creative’ one for girls too and there was a lot of discussion around ‘what was the question exactly’ and ‘how did you interpret it’. My DD gave it last week.

Emotionalday · 04/10/2025 19:22

Mine was miles away from finishing the paper😓but he felt happy about his performance. I'm not sure what I should do first: stressing about results in 2 weeks time or celebrating his optimism...

My son said the math was easy and he was quite confident about that. For English, he did one page and a bit. Now we just have to wait for the results to come out. According to last year’s timelines, I assume it’s going to be 16 Oct Thursday for the emails of the schools to reach the parents. Is that right? Fingers crossed!

trying29 · 04/10/2025 14:11

I guess I relied lots on exam paper plus stage 2 papers.
Good luck for those on reserve day and for those of us done now - we can be very proud of the children whatever the outcome
