Sutton school admissions for parents

Official source

Sutton groups primary, junior, secondary, offer-day and in-year guidance under one admissions hub. The main Sutton-specific complication is that several secondary schools use separate eligibility tests or supplementary forms alongside the standard application.

Primary and junior September 2026 round

Sutton opened primary and junior applications on 1 September 2025, closed them on 15 January 2026, accepted late applications with a good reason until 12 February 2026, and said offers would be released in the evening of 16 April 2026.

Secondary September 2026 round

Sutton secondary applications also opened on 1 September 2025, closed on 31 October 2025, accepted late applications with a good reason until 8 December 2025, and said offers would be released in the evening of 2 March 2026.

Selective tests and supplementary forms

For several Sutton selective schools, eligibility-test registration closed on 1 August 2025 and the eligibility test was on 16 September 2025. Sutton also tells parents to complete any supplementary form alongside the standard application when a school requires one.

Appeals and community-school split

Sutton says primary and junior community-school appeals had a 15 May 2026 deadline and that most hearings were virtual. For many secondary schools, parents need to check the individual school's appeal deadline because Sutton only arranges community-school appeals.

In-year moves and contact route

Sutton keeps year-admissions and vacancy-checker information in a separate section. The council publishes suttonadmissions@cognus.org.uk and 020 8770 5000 for admissions queries.

Sutton school admissions guide for parents

This guide summarises London Borough of Sutton admissions pages as available on 23 May 2026 for September 2026 entry. Always re-check the live Sutton pages, especially if you need a selective-school test, supplementary form or appeal.

Executive summary

Sutton keeps most September 2026 material inside one school-admissions hub, then splits primary, junior, secondary, offer-day and in-year routes into clear subpages. The main Sutton-specific complication is that several secondary schools use separate tests or supplementary forms alongside the standard application.
