GCSE Physics Tutor Sutton: 2026 Entries and Grades by School

Leading Tuition's GCSE Physics 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 1,835 separate GCSE (9-1) Physics 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 Physics rows, and this page reads the 15 with 30 or more entries.

How large is the separate Physics group at each Sutton school?

DfE's rows count entries for the GCSE (9-1) Physics qualification on its own. Pupils taking Combined Science are in a different qualification, so they are not counted here. The table sets each school's Physics entries beside DfE's count of its pupils at the end of Key Stage 4, in order of entries. The last column is our own division of the first two, entries per 100 pupils to the nearest whole number; it is a count beside a count, not a ranking.

At Nonsuch High School for Girls, Sutton Grammar School, Wallington County Grammar School and Wallington High School for Girls the number of Physics entries equals the number of pupils: 204 beside 204, 134 beside 134, 149 beside 149 and 208 beside 208. At Wilson's School the figures are 172 entries and 193 pupils.

Get Information About Schools, the Department for Education's register, records an admissions policy of "Non-selective" for ten of the 15 schools. Among those ten, entries per 100 pupils run from 21 at Oaks Park High School (49 entries beside 238 pupils) to 65 at Cheam High School (204 beside 315), with Carshalton Boys Sports College at 23 (54 beside 237) and St Philomena's Catholic High School for Girls at 54 (123 beside 229).

A tutor for a Sutton pupil therefore begins with the pupil's own school, which these counts describe only in outline. Across the 15 schools DfE records 3,349 pupils at the end of Key Stage 4 and 1,835 Physics entries.

How did Sutton's Physics entries divide between grade 9 and the lower grades in summer 2026?

The table splits each school's entries into four bands, built from DfE's grade rows: grade 9, grades 7 and 8, grades 4 to 6, and the entries below grade 4 or ungraded, which is each school's entries minus its grade 4 to 9 entries. The bands are our own sums, and a blank cell in DfE's data is read as 0 because each school's grades 1 to 9 plus U and X add up to its total. Schools are in alphabetical order.

Across the 15 schools, 589 of 1,835 entries were grade 9 (32.1%), 649 were grade 7 or 8, 562 were grade 4 to 6, and 35 were below grade 4 or ungraded; 1,238 entries were grade 7 or above and 1,800 were grade 4 or above (98.1%). At Wilson's School 159 of 172 entries were grade 9 and the other 13 were grade 7 or 8. At Nonsuch High School for Girls the grade 9 count is 89 of 204, at Sutton Grammar School 88 of 134, and at Wallington County Grammar School 66 of 149.

At Glenthorne High School, a school GIAS records as Non-selective, 33 of 125 entries were grade 9 and 64 were grade 7 or 8; at Greenshaw High School the counts are 29 of 108 and 41. At Oaks Park High School no entry was grade 9 and 16 of 49 were grade 7 or 8.

Six Sutton schools record every Physics entry at grade 4 or above. What separates them?

The schools with every Physics entry at grade 4 or above are Carshalton High School for Girls (88 entries), Glenthorne High School (125 entries), Overton Grange School (51 entries), Sutton Grammar School (134 entries), Wallington County Grammar School (149 entries) and Wilson's School (172). They are in alphabetical order below, with the admissions policy that GIAS records for each.

GIAS records "Selective" for Sutton Grammar School, Wallington County Grammar School and Wilson's School, and "Non-selective" for Carshalton High School for Girls, Glenthorne High School and Overton Grange School. The grade 9 counts across the six are 12 of 88 at Carshalton High School for Girls; 33 of 125 at Glenthorne High School; 9 of 51 at Overton Grange School; 88 of 134 at Sutton Grammar School; 66 of 149 at Wallington County Grammar School; 159 of 172 at Wilson's School. The six share a 100% grade 4 and above figure and differ in entries from 51 to 172 and in grade 9 entries from 9 to 159.

That is why a borough-wide range misleads. Across the 15 schools the share at grade 4 or above runs from 92.2% at Cheam High School (204 entries) to 100% at Wilson's School (172), while the share at grade 9 runs from 0% at Oaks Park High School to 92.4% at Wilson's School. Taken by GIAS admissions policy, the five schools recorded as Selective made 867 entries, with 862 at grade 4 or above, 763 at grade 7 or above and 461 at grade 9; the ten recorded as Non-selective made 968 entries, with 938 at grade 4 or above, 475 at grade 7 or above and 128 at grade 9. A figure for the borough pools those two sets of counts, so a pupil's position is read from the school's own row. These are our own sums and describe entries; they carry no judgement about any school.

Which Sutton schools have entries below grade 4, and how many?

Nine of the 15 schools have at least one entry below grade 4 or ungraded, 35 entries in all. The table lists them in order of that count, with the school's entries and its grade 4 and above entries beside it.

Cheam High School has 16 of 204 entries in that band: 15 at grades 1 to 3 and 0 recorded U and 1 recorded X. St Philomena's Catholic High School for Girls has 7 of 123: 4 at grades 1 to 3 and 3 recorded U. Wallington High School for Girls has 3 of 208, all at grade 3. Carshalton Boys Sports College, Harris Academy Sutton and Nonsuch High School for Girls each have 2 entries, and Greenshaw High School, Oaks Park High School and The John Fisher School each have 1.

What can these Physics figures not tell a Sutton family?

DfE labels the release provisional. The data set was published on 15 October 2026 as version 2.0, 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 Physics rows left out of the tables: DfE records 2 entries beside 108 pupils at the end of Key Stage 4, under this page's minimum of 30 entries, and DfE's row carries no grade breakdown, so the school is excluded from every table. 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 Physics 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 Physics tuition page covers the subject in full, with board-specific pages for AQA GCSE Physics, Edexcel GCSE Physics and OCR GCSE Physics, and our Physics tutoring service gives the wider picture. For the other sciences and core subjects, see GCSE Chemistry tutors in Sutton, 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, read on 3 November 2026.
