GCSE Chemistry Tutor Sutton: 2026 Grades, School by School

Leading Tuition's GCSE Chemistry tutors in Sutton are expert one-to-one online teachers who start from the pupil's own school, because DfE's provisional summer 2026 data records 1,836 separate GCSE (9-1) Chemistry entries at the 15 Sutton schools with 30 or more entries, from 49 at Oaks Park High School to 208 at Wallington High School for Girls.

Sutton means the London borough, DfE's local authority 319. DfE's table lists 16 Sutton schools with Chemistry rows, and this page reads the 15 with 30 or more entries.

How many pupils at each Sutton school sit the separate Chemistry GCSE?

DfE's rows count entries for the GCSE (9-1) Chemistry qualification on its own. Pupils taking Combined Science, which DfE describes as a Double Award, appear under a different subject in the same DfE table, so they are not counted here. The table sets each school's Chemistry entries beside DfE's count of its pupils at the end of Key Stage 4, in order of entries. It is a count beside a count, not a ranking.

At Nonsuch High School for Girls, 204 entries sit beside 204 pupils, and the same is true at Sutton Grammar School (134 beside 134), Wallington County Grammar School (149 beside 149) and Wallington High School for Girls (208 beside 208). At Wilson's School the figures are 172 entries and 193 pupils. At Oaks Park High School they are 49 entries and 238 pupils, and at Carshalton Boys Sports College 54 entries and 237 pupils.

A tutor for a Sutton pupil therefore begins with how Chemistry is taught at that pupil's school, which these counts describe only in outline. Across the 15 schools DfE records 3349 pupils at the end of Key Stage 4 and 1,836 Chemistry entries.

What grades did each Sutton school record in GCSE Chemistry in summer 2026?

The table gives DfE's grade counts for the 15 schools, in alphabetical order. DfE defines grade U as ungraded or unclassified results and grade X as pupils who were absent or whose results are pending; a blank cell in DfE's data is shown here as 0, because each row's grades 1 to 9 plus U and X add up to its total entries.

Cheam High School's 204 entries include 6 at grade 3 and 1 recorded X, with 197 at grade 4 or above. At St Philomena's Catholic High School for Girls, 118 of 123 entries are at grade 4 or above, with 1 at grade 1 and 4 at grade 3. At Wilson's School, 154 of 172 entries are grade 9, 17 are grade 8 and 1 is grade 7.

How many entries reached grade 4, grade 7 and grade 9?

The grade 4 and above, grade 7 and above and grade 9 columns are our own sums of the grade rows in DfE's data. The percentages are those sums over each school's Chemistry entries, and the table is ordered by the grade 7 and above share.

Across the 15 schools, 1820 of 1,836 entries are at grade 4 or above, 1,280 at grade 7 or above and 623 at grade 9. Grade 4 and above runs from 118 of 123 entries at St Philomena's Catholic High School for Girls to 172 of 172 at Wilson's School.

Why does a range from 96% to 100% at grade 4 not place a Sutton pupil?

Nine of the 15 schools have every entry at grade 4 or above and two more are one entry short, so the 96% to 100% range at that grade says little about how one school differs from another. Grade 7 and grade 9 are where the counts differ, from 16 of 49 entries at grade 7 or above at Oaks Park High School to 172 of 172 at Wilson's School.

The Department for Education's Get Information About Schools register records an admissions policy for each school. It lists five of the 15 as "Selective" and ten as "Non-selective". The table below sums the grade rows for each group; it describes entries and makes no judgement about any school.

The register entries for each school are in the next table, from the file downloaded on 2 November 2026.

The five schools recorded as Selective together made 867 entries, with 866 at grade 4 or above, 791 at grade 7 or above and 448 at grade 9. The ten recorded as Non-selective made 969 entries, with 954 at grade 4 or above, 489 at grade 7 or above and 175 at grade 9. A borough-wide range pools two sets of counts that differ at grade 7 and grade 9, so a pupil's position is read from the school's own row.

What can these figures not tell a Sutton family?

DfE labels the release provisional. It was published on 15 October 2026, and any approved result amendments that schools requested had not been applied at that date.

No Progress 8 exists for these pupils: DfE will not publish progress measures for 2024/25 or 2025/26 because the pupils had no Key Stage 2 assessments. Nothing here measures how much a school added to a pupil's grade.

Sutton High School GDST is the one Sutton school with Chemistry rows left out of the tables: DfE records 8 entries beside 108 pupils at the end of Key Stage 4, under the 30-entry line used here. Entries are not pupils, so a school's entries beside its pupils describe how the qualification is taken, and say nothing about any individual child.

A tutor measures how far a pupil has come with a short diagnostic against the pupil's own exam board.

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.

How do Leading Tuition's tutors work with Sutton's GCSE Chemistry pupils?

Sessions are one-to-one online with a shared whiteboard. A programme begins with a short diagnostic against the pupil's own school and exam board, then works through that pupil's past papers and marks them against the real mark scheme. Progress is reviewed against the pupil's own target grade at agreed intervals, and session notes go to parents after each lesson.

Our GCSE Chemistry tuition page covers the subject in full, with board-specific pages for AQA GCSE Chemistry, Edexcel GCSE Chemistry and OCR GCSE Chemistry, and our Chemistry tutoring service gives the wider picture. For the other sciences and core subjects, see GCSE Biology tutors in Sutton, GCSE Maths tutors in Sutton and GCSE English tutors in Sutton; the Sutton tuition hub lists every Sutton page. 91% of Leading Tuition students achieve their desired grades.

The figures on this page come from DfE's Key stage 4 performance release for 2025/26 and the Get Information About Schools register.
