GCSE results 2026: every Merton school ranked · how England did

Exceptional results, but a place depends on the entrance test rather than where you live — worth a look only if you are planning to sit it.

Getting a place
Admissions realism: not yet assessed

Admissions realism depends on your home postcode and the school's published allocation data. Enter your postcode on this page to get a more specific assessment, and always verify the latest policy on the school's official admissions page.

This is a selective school. Admission usually requires passing an entrance test. Check the school's admissions policy for test registration deadlines.

This school has a Church of England religious character. Admissions may prioritise pupils who meet faith criteria. A Supplementary Information Form (SIF) may be required.

Watch-outs

  • Selective admissions: an entrance test (usually the 11+ or equivalent) is required. Check registration and test dates well in advance.
  • Faith admissions criteria apply (Church of England). A Supplementary Information Form may be required. Evidence of faith practice may be needed.

What to do next

  • Verify the school's official admissions policy
  • Check entrance test registration dates
  • Download and review the Supplementary Information Form
  • Book an open day or school visit
  • Add this school to your shortlist and compare with backup options

Admissions and catchment

Independent schools run their own admissions outside the council process, so there is no catchment area or last offer distance to compare against. Registration and assessment dates are on the school’s website.
