As long as you have successfully passed the Selective Eligibility Test, you will be sent an email approximately one week before the test informing you of what test centre you have been allocated to. Please print the email and provide your child with a copy to bring to the exam. This is needed on arrival. Do not try to show us the email on your phone.

Please note that there is a road closure currently in effect.  The A232 Croydon Road is closed between Rectory Lane and Bute Road for emergency works.  This may affect your route if arriving from the direction of Croydon so please ensure you leave extra time for your journey.  

General information for arrival and collection of candidates

• Please ensure that the candidate is dropped off and collected at the time specified - checking whether your son has been allocated a morning or afternoon session.

• Check the weather forecast and ensure you and your child is suitably dressed (you may need to be outside for a period of time, especially if you arrive before the gates are due to open)
• Follow all instructions and requests from school representatives
• Leave promptly once you have delivered your child/collected your child
• Only one adult per candidate (no siblings if at all possible)

If travelling by car, please be advised that there is no parking on site (unless a Blue Badge holder has agreed prior to the SET that they can park on site) and we would ask that you park a short distance away from the school and walk the last few minutes to avoid congestion. 

• Please do not park in Manor Way or Derek Avenue.
• Alternatively, use public transport to travel to our site.

Timings for the SST

• Arrive between 8.30 am and 9.00 am
• Your invitation email will tell you which entrance you should use. 
• For the Sports Hall use the Gold Entrance.  This is 250 yards to the west of the main entrance towards Wallington Green, Carshalton and Sutton. 
• For the blue, green and lilac entrances you should come through the Pedestrian Gate.   
• Your child must be seated by 9.00am at the latest, or they will be directed to sit their test in the Late Room (where dismissal will be at least 50 minutes after all other candidates). 
• There will be a 45 minute Maths Paper, a short 15 minute break, followed by a 1 hour English Paper. 
• Students will be dismissed from 11.40 am (slightly later in larger exam rooms).   
• Please ensure all candidates are collected promptly. 

Your child will need to bring to the test:

1. A printout of the invitation email which will be sent to you before the test. This is very important.  
2. Two pencils (HB or B), a soft rubber, a pencil sharpener and a ruler in a clear plastic pencil case or transparent bag. Please ensure spare resources are brought to the test (so spare pencils, a spare pencil sharpener and a spare ruler).
3. A fleece or jumper.
4. If desired, water in a clear plastic sports cap bottle with the label removed (no fizzy drinks) and a snack for break time (NO NUTS due to the number of children who suffer from nut allergies).
5. A reading book to help pass waiting time before the first test commences and during the break between tests. This book has no relevance at all to the examination and should be a book that is read for pleasure. 
6. A small pack of tissues.

Your child must not bring

1. A mobile telephone or any other electronic device (if one is brought on site it must be turned off and placed under the candidate's exam desk).
2. A calculator, calculator watch or smartwatch.
3. A watch that beeps.
4. Any piece of stationery which displays times tables or other such information.
5. A dictionary.
6. Any food containing nuts.

Do not show us your child’s candidate number on a smartphone. You must have a printout with his/her candidate number when you arrive for the test.

Please do not send your child to the exam with a large backpack or any other large bag as space in the exam room is limited.

If you have decided that you do not wish your child to sit the Selective Eligibility Test after all, please email admissions@wcgschool.co.uk and set2025entry@suttongrammar.sutton.sch.uk as soon as you receive your invitation email.
