Glenthorne sutton school admission

[gompimum]

Dear Moms, I live in SW19 3HH and am considering Glenthorne High School in Sutton. If my child scores decently on the banding test, do we have a realistic chance of getting a place from a distance of around 3.7 km (without qualifying under any higher priority categories)?
Also, does anyone have children who travel to Glenthorne from Wimbledon, Wimbledon Chase, or New Malden? Since schools are currently closed to check furthest offer distances, any insights or real experiences would be greatly appreciated!

It’s a great school, is your dc grammar level because i think you would get in if you scored in band 9 or maybe 8

Yeah he has cleared all sutton schools but we are not in catchment. Hence checking glenthorne probability.

You don’t have to be in catchment for Sutton grammars?

If he can get a grammar level score on the Glenthorne test he will very likely get a place because those dc tend to end up in the grammars or private with scholarships etc.

Thank you

You can ask Glenthorne to share the furthest distance per band for the past few years, that will give you a better idea of possibility. I suspect your child would need to be band 9 or maybe 8. I’d encourage you to have a banker school eg Rutlish/Ricards which they will secure a place however. Good luck!
