Customer Comments

"We did manage to get through the first Sutton round and that sent us searching for some papers to help us get to grips with the stage 2 test. Obviously there was a limited amount of preparation that we could do so these papers filled the gap perfectly. We particularly liked the advice given on how the writing section is assessed and found the extra titles and sample responses also very useful."

Mr M Franks

"Thanks for producing these Sutton stage 2 mock tests. Our daughter really enjoys writing so we were looking forward to stage 2 but she did need to focus a little more on the maths side which these papers helped her do. She found them quite hard but I suppose the real thing will be hard so it's best to get experience of that before the test."

Sutton Stage 2 Exam Format Breakdown

Test Component Sutton Stage 2 Exam Format Our Mock
Mathematics Written Mathematics paper requiring candidates to produce their own answers rather than complete a multiple-choice paper 45-minute written Mathematics paper containing free-response questions
Maths Working Written-response format allows candidates to work through problems on the question paper Children are required to show their working and record their own answers
English Written English assessment rather than a multiple-choice paper Creative Writing paper requiring an extended written response to a set task
Writing Skills Written responses require children to communicate clearly and accurately. The Nonsuch and Wallington girls’ test specifically includes an English composition task rather than a comprehension paper. Children practise planning, structuring and producing an extended piece of writing in response to a specific task
Response Format English and Maths are not multiple choice Both mock papers require children to produce their own written responses
Core Subjects English and Mathematics Mathematics plus focused English Creative Writing practice

The Sutton Stage 2 schools currently assess written English and Mathematics. Our mocks focus on free-response Mathematics and extended English writing, giving children practice producing their own answers rather than relying on multiple-choice options.

Why These Sutton Stage 2 11 Plus Mock Exams Are Different

These mocks are designed specifically around the written-response demands of Sutton Stage 2, rather than being generic Maths and English papers with the Sutton name added.

Sutton Stage 2-specific feature What this means for your child
Current Sutton research The mocks are reviewed against reliable information about the current Sutton second-stage entrance examinations.
Written-response preparation Stage 2 moves away from the multiple-choice format used in the SET, so children practise producing their own answers.
Free-response Mathematics Children must solve mathematical problems, show appropriate working and record their own answers.
Extended English writing Children practise responding directly to a writing task and developing a sustained, appropriately structured response.
Writing technique The Creative Writing paper gives children practice with planning, paragraphing, vocabulary, sentence structure, spelling and punctuation.
Time pressure Timed papers help children practise maintaining accuracy and written quality while working within a restricted period.
Parent invigilation guidance Instructions explain how to administer both papers independently at home without helping once the assessment has started.
Detailed review Answers and writing guidance help identify weaknesses in mathematical knowledge, working, accuracy, written expression and exam technique.

Schools That Use Sutton Stage 2 Testing

Five of the six schools participating in the Sutton Selective Eligibility Test use a second-stage entrance examination. The schools are split into separate boys’ and girls’ Stage 2 tests.

Shared Stage 2 examination for boys:

Sutton Grammar School
Wallington County Grammar School
Wilson’s School

Joint Stage 2 examination for girls:

Nonsuch High School for Girls
Wallington High School for Girls

Greenshaw High School does not use a Stage 2 entrance examination. It uses the outcome of the Sutton Selective Eligibility Test for its selective ability places, so Greenshaw is not included in the Stage 2 school list.

How to Run the Sutton Stage 2 11 Plus Mock at Home

Before the mock

  • Print the Mathematics and Creative Writing papers.
  • Choose a quiet environment without interruptions.
  • Read the supplied parent invigilation instructions before starting.
  • Make sure your child has everything needed to show their working and complete the writing task.

During the mock

  • Follow the timings and instructions supplied with each Mock Pack.
  • Administer the Mathematics and Creative Writing papers separately.
  • Require your child to show appropriate working in Mathematics.
  • For Creative Writing, make sure the response addresses the task that has actually been set.
  • Avoid helping with individual questions or the writing task once a paper has begun.

After the mock

  • Mark the Mathematics paper using the detailed answers and explanations provided.
  • Identify whether Maths marks were lost through knowledge gaps, incorrect working, accuracy, timing or exam technique.
  • Review the Creative Writing response separately using the supplied guidance.
  • Look at structure, relevance to the task, vocabulary, sentence construction, spelling and punctuation rather than giving the writing a simple overall score.
  • Work on the most important weaker areas before attempting another Mock Pack.
  • Use the next fresh mock to see whether mathematical accuracy and written-response quality have improved.

"My daughter's preparation for her 11 Plus exam couldn't have gone better. The advice we received about being committed ourselves was exactly right. We set a time to do the work and broadly managed to achieve it. The course was very intensive so we did need to work hard, but it was worth it in the end. Without this course I'm not sure I would have known where to start or what to do when"

- Mrs Hamilton

"We used a Private Tutor to prepare for the 11 Plus, and they recommended that we use the full 40 part vocabulary course as part of the process rather than vocabulary books. We really can't see how it's possible to boost a child's vocabulary without this sort of work, it had everything- real learning activities, tests, revision, pieces of texts from classic books and even vocabulary puzzles which stretched our son no end."

- Mr Gull
