One Sutton SET 11+ registration covers 5 grammar schools, but Kent and Bexley schools each need their own test and registration.
Questions people ask
Do I need to register separately for Kent and Bexley?
Yes. The Kent Test and the Bexley Selection Test are different tests with their own registrations and dates, so a shortlist with schools in both areas needs two registrations.
Does one Sutton SET registration cover all five schools?
Yes, the Selective Eligibility Test is shared by Nonsuch, Wallington Girls, Wilson's, Wallington County and Sutton Grammar. Their second stages differ: Nonsuch and Wallington Girls held theirs on 26 September 2026, the other three on 3 October 2026.
Is sitting the 11+ the same as applying for a place?
No. The test only shows whether your child qualifies. You apply by naming each school on your home council's secondary application, by 31 October.
If two areas both use GL Assessment, is it the same test?
No. The same company can write different tests for different areas, each with its own registration and its own results. Only schools on the same test route share them.

How we work this out
What it does
Add your schools: see which share one test, which need their own registration or form, and what goes on the council application.
The test route, school-specific second stages and supplementary-form rule for 89 English grammar schools, for September 2027 entry and the 2028 dates already published, plus the national council application.
Method
- Each school you add is placed on its test route: for example every Kent grammar school on the Kent Test, and Nonsuch, Wallington Girls, Wilson's, Wallington County and Sutton Grammar on the Sutton SET.
- Schools on the same route share one registration. Schools on different routes need one registration each, even when the same company writes both tests.
- Each school's own form rule comes from its admissions policy or council booklet. A second stage run for some schools on a route is listed only for those schools.
- One council application covers every school; GOV.UK gives 31 October.
