Sutton High School-About The School

Sutton High School is a diverse community dedicated to enabling its pupils to develop their intellect and talents and a confidence to believe that their aspirations are achievable. From an early beginning, we encourage the girls to be honest, reliable and trustworthy. Academic rigour is valued at all stages and the focus in the classroom and beyond is on challenge, engagement and enjoyment. Learning is celebrated. The school has a well qualified and highly motivated staff, both teaching and non teaching. All members of the community are valued and given the opportunity to flourish in a caring and supportive ethos.

Our aims are that Sutton High School gives girls:

A rich and diverse curriculum in which they can achieve at all levels within a creative and vibrant atmosphere.
The self confidence to be independent learners and achieve beyond the school environment.
An enquiring and discriminating mind and a desire for knowledge.
Respect for others.

We value the partnership which exists between school, parents and community and the part it plays in realising this vision.

Sutton High School is a vibrant and friendly community offering an excellent education to girls aged from 3 to 18. Our attractive, green site near the heart of Sutton embraces modern and sympathetically refurbished buildings with specialist laboratories, workshops, and computer suites. Our extensive sports facilities include a sports hall, swimming pool and fitness gym.

All classes are taught by expert specialist teachers, and examination results are consistently outstanding with Key Stage 1 to A level. They are well above national and local averages. We aim to provide girls with an exciting and challenging education. There is a rich programme of educational visits and activities in school, complemented by a wealth of cross-curricular opportunities in Music, Sport, Drama and much more.

One of 29 schools of the Girls' Day School Trust, Sutton High School benefits from being part of a nationwide network of sister schools for tournaments and competitions in sports, the arts, careers and university guidance. Pre-school and after school care is available in the Junior School, and the School is a member of the Nationwide Nursery Vouchers scheme.

Girls are tested for entry at 4+, 11+ and 16+ although we will always try to find a space for a bright girl who applies at other times. Scholarships and bursaries are available for girls applying to the Senior School. Words can only give you a flavour of Sutton High School come to visit us and see what we have to offer your daughter.
