How catchment works at Wallington High School for Girls

Wallington High School for Girls runs a two-route admissions model. It reserves a block of places for a designated catchment or priority area, where home-to-school distance matters, and it offers a second block of places on 11+ score alone, open to families living anywhere. That makes it both a catchment school and, in part, a super-selective.

Pass the SET and stage-two test; 100 open places to top scorers irrespective of address, 35 Pupil Premium, up to 110 within 6.7km. So if you live in the priority area you compete mainly with local families, and if you live further away a high enough score can still win one of the open places.

Bottom line: Wallington High School for Girls has a catchment, but it is not the whole story, a strong score keeps the door open even from outside the area.
