Large state grammar (1,220 girls) set in wonderful grounds on the edge of Nonsuch Park in Cheam, Sutton, Surrey. As you might expect from one of the country’s top selective girls’ schools, it is academically pushy, so definitely not for the easily distracted. Sports and music strong. 15 or so leavers go on to Oxbridge. Entrance is by exam (maths and verbal reasoning) only, no interview. 11-18.
