GCSE Biology Tutor Sutton: 2026 Grades, School by School

Leading Tuition's GCSE Biology tutors in Sutton are expert one-to-one online teachers who start from each pupil's own school, because DfE's provisional summer 2026 figures for the separate GCSE (9-1) Biology count 1,842 entries across the 15 Sutton schools with 30 or more, and grade 4 or above runs from 93% at Cheam High School (205 entries) to 100% at Wilson's School (172).

Sutton means the London borough, DfE's local authority 319. DfE's table for GCSE (9-1) Biology, full course, lists 16 Sutton schools and this page reads the 15 with 30 or more entries. Combined Science is a different qualification, held in its own rows, so its pupils are not counted here.

Which Sutton schools enter pupils for the separate GCSE Biology, and how many?

DfE's subject-level table counts entries, not pupils: one entry is one pupil's result in the qualification. Beside each school's Biology entries it publishes the number of pupils at the end of Key Stage 4, the school's cohort. Both counts are in the table below, in order of Biology entries, with the admissions policy that Get Information about Schools (GIAS) records for each school.

At Wallington High School for Girls, Nonsuch High School for Girls, Wallington County Grammar School and Sutton Grammar School the number of Biology entries and the number of pupils at the end of Key Stage 4 are the same: 208, 204, 149 and 134. At Wilson's School the counts are 172 entries beside 193 pupils. At the other ten schools the entries sit below the cohort, from 205 entries beside 315 pupils at Cheam High School to 49 beside 238 at Oaks Park High School.

The same two counts at Greenshaw High School are 108 entries beside 316 pupils. The table reports the counts and nothing more: it carries no reason for any difference, and a school's Biology entries are a count of one qualification, not of its whole year group.

DfE's rows also list Sutton High School GDST, with 7 Biology entries against 108 pupils at the end of Key Stage 4. That is below the 30-entry threshold used on this page, so the school appears in no table here.

How many entries reached grade 4 and above, and grade 7 and above, at each school?

Across the 15 schools, 1,816 of the 1,842 Biology entries reached grade 4 or above (98.6%) and 1,177 reached grade 7 or above (63.9%). The remaining 26 entries finished below grade 4. Grade 9 was recorded 534 times and grade 8 348 times; the grade-by-grade counts for every school are further down.

Seven schools recorded every entry at grade 4 or above: Wallington High School for Girls, Wilson's School, Wallington County Grammar School, Sutton Grammar School, Glenthorne High School, Carshalton Boys Sports College and Overton Grange School. Eight schools have at least one entry below grade 4: 15 of the 205 entries at Cheam High School, 4 of 115 at Harris Academy Sutton, 2 of 123 at St Philomena's Catholic High School for Girls, and 1 entry at each of the other five.

Grade 7 and above is where the schools part. It is 13 of 49 entries at Oaks Park High School, 16 of 54 at Carshalton Boys Sports College, 61 of 205 at Cheam High School and 39 of 123 at St Philomena's Catholic High School for Girls, against 127 of 134 at Sutton Grammar School and 172 of 172 at Wilson's School.

Five selective schools and ten non-selective schools: why one borough figure covers two different starting points

GIAS records the admissions policy of Wilson's School, Sutton Grammar School, Wallington County Grammar School, Wallington High School for Girls and Nonsuch High School for Girls as Selective, and that of the other ten schools in the table as Non-selective. It lists Wilson's School, Sutton Grammar School and Wallington County Grammar School as boys' schools and Wallington High School for Girls and Nonsuch High School for Girls as girls' schools.

The five Selective schools account for 867 of the 1,842 entries, and 866 of those reached grade 4 or above. At grade 7 and above the two groups are 86.7% and 43.6%. The borough-wide 98.6% at grade 4 and above therefore describes the two groups together; at 7 and above the two shares are 43.1 percentage points apart.

Inside the Selective group the counts at the top of the scale are 163 entries at grade 8 or 9 at Wilson's School (163 of 172), 109 at Sutton Grammar School (109 of 134) and 130 at Nonsuch High School for Girls (130 of 204). Inside the Non-selective group the grade 7 and above counts run from 13 of 49 at Oaks Park High School to 60 of 108 at Greenshaw High School and 93 of 125 at Glenthorne High School.

Grade-by-grade Biology counts for every Sutton school

Every row below adds up to the school's total entries, with grades U and X, the ungraded and absent-or-pending results DfE records separately, in their own columns. Blank cells in DfE's table are zeros here because each row reconciles to its total.

Across the 15 schools the most common grade is 9, with 534 entries, followed by grade 8 with 348 and grade 6 with 322. Grades 4, 5 and 6 together hold 639 entries and grades 7, 8 and 9 together hold 1,177.

Confidence and progress

My son was low in confidence after COVID and the gaps in learning were building up. Using this service helped plug those gaps, rebuild confidence, and improve his ability to learn properly again.

Amazing tutors!

We arranged maths and English tuition ahead of GCSEs and both tutors were brilliant. My daughter's grades improved, and by results day she achieved two grades higher than in her mock exams.

Great Teaching and Focused Learning

I attended an English bootcamp with Leading Tuition and the experience was excellent. The teacher gave focused attention to the small group while keeping the lessons interactive and engaging.

What a one-to-one online GCSE Biology plan does with these counts

The school-level counts show where each school's entries fall; they do not show where one pupil sits. Of the 1,842 entries, 639 are in the middle band of grades 4 to 6, 1,177 are at 7 and above and 26 are below grade 4. A pupil in the 4 to 6 band, a pupil already at grade 7 or above and a pupil below grade 4 each need a different first session, so Leading Tuition's Biology tutors begin with the pupil's own latest mock paper, not with a school average.

Sessions run one-to-one online with a shared whiteboard, working through the pupil's own past papers and marking against the real mark scheme, with session notes shared with parents after each lesson. Our GCSE Biology tuition page covers the subject itself, and the same school-by-school reading for other subjects sits on our GCSE maths tutors in Sutton and GCSE English tutors in Sutton pages.

Our GCSE Biology tutors in London page serves families elsewhere in the capital, and the Sutton tuition hub is the starting point for every service we run in the borough. The Sutton Grammar School 11+ tuition page covers 11+ preparation for the school.

Where the Sutton GCSE Biology figures come from

The grade counts are from the Department for Education's Subject school level exam data, dataset version 2.0, published on 15 October 2026 for academic year 2025/26, for the GCSE (9-1) Full Course qualification and the subject Biology. DfE labels the data provisional. The release is described on DfE's Key stage 4 performance release for 2025/26. Admissions policy and gender are from the GIAS bulk file edubasealldata20261031.csv.

Sutton is read as DfE's own local authority 319, never as part of a wider London figure. 91% of Leading Tuition students achieve their desired grades.
