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

It is an absolutely horrific process full stop for them - fully agree. But I could find very little about stage 2 on the school website. Relying on anything more is just school gate chat.

I don't necessarily think it's a bad idea but it's already an extremely stressful and tense situation for 10/11 year olds and I worry about putting them on the spot like that. I just think it's an awful lot on their shoulders. My son barely had time to read through his answers

PrettyBigThings · 04/10/2025 13:52

Of course but this is their attempt to level the playing field. It can only be a positive thing plus they want kids able to think on their feet - which points more to innate ability than prescriptive tutoring.

no-one said they promised it. and your assumption is that all kids are over tutored. we just did at home work. it's tricky enough with no past papers and no information anywhere - no wonder people ask previous years' cohorts what came up.

At no point did they ever promise what the English format would be. I for one am pleased they are trying to mix it up - clearly trying to undermine the overly tutored kids.

Exactly what my wife said.

The maths was easier than we had practised my son said. It was easier than EPP or Examberry which a mum of a girl who sat last week had already warned me about. I wonder why they changed the English....

Daddykl · 04/10/2025 13:29

My son found maths quite straight foward, more Atom standard than the EPP standard. English was another matter.....

So my DS said the stage 2 English test was an unexpected format! Did anyone else’s think the same? He is so worried 😟

Same, my son said all boys around him were not feeling too confident (and him too!)

Poppy8899 · 30/09/2025 11:03

Just got details of 2nd set. So think everyone should receive theirs today. Good luck for Sat

Stresshead100 · 30/09/2025 11:02

We have just received the stage 2 details email!

Travelmad777 · 30/09/2025 08:25

From past experience you only get details on the Tuesday or Wednesday before. Hoping you get details today.

Thanks for your reply 😀
Was worried that I might have missed an email or missed a step to apply for it.
