Sutton Grammar School (formerly Sutton Grammar School for Boys) is a selective grammar school for boys aged 11–18 and one of the top-performing schools in England.[1] Located in South London, the School's main site is in Sutton and its playing fields are in neighbouring Cheam.[2]

History[edit]

Early life[edit]

Official opening of the School on 21 July 1899

The School opened in 1899 with an intake of only 19 boys. It has always been an all-boys school, selective in nature, and began life charging fees of £2 10s per term (later rising to £4 4s per term, plus 2s for membership of clubs).[3] The School has undergone several name changes; it used to be known as Sutton County Grammar School and later Sutton Manor School (owing to its proximity with the old Sutton Manor).[4]

The first Headmaster of the School was Mr E H Hensley, who read Mathematics at Cambridge University and became a wrangler by achieving a first class degree.[5] The first Second Master (or Deputy Headmaster) was Mr L A Valencia, who read Classics at Cambridge University.[5]

The School was founded on a site between Throwley Way and the High Street in Sutton, and officially opened in a ceremony on 21 July 1899. The main building was opened in 1928 on Manor Lane, directly opposite Manor Park in Sutton.[3]

The Sutton School Song was composed in 1935 by the Chairman of the Governors, Canon Courtenay Gale, and the words were written by Mr Horn, a classics master, with the School motto, "Floreat Suttona" (Latin: "May Sutton flourish"), as the refrain. In 1954, however, "Keep Faith" was adopted as a new motto, with "Floreat Suttona" being used only occasionally, for example, as a sign off in communiqués to old boys of the School (known as "Old Suttonians").[3]

Today[edit]

Since 1 June 2011, the School has had academy status, and its name formally changed from Sutton Grammar School for Boys to Sutton Grammar School, although it remains a selective grammar school for boys.[3] From September 2017, however, it began accepting applications from girls to join the Sixth Form.[6]

Since 1990, the Headmaster has been Mr G D Ironside, who read Natural Sciences at Cambridge University. Since 2007, the Deputy Headmistress has been Mrs I Sutherland, who read Philosophy at the University of Warwick.

The School is divided into three sections – the Lower School (Years 7–9), the Upper School (Years 10 and 11) and the Sixth Form (Lower Sixth and Upper Sixth) – each of which attracts its own dress code.[7] Uniform consists of a maroon blazer with a house tie in the Lower School, a black blazer with a house tie in the Upper School and a lounge suit and tie of the pupil's choice in the Sixth Form.

The School operates a prefect system with a Head Boy, three Deputy Head Boys, Senior Prefects and part-time Prefects from the Sixth Form.[8]

In popular culture[edit]

Scenes for the Hollywood film Black Sea, starring Jude Law and directed by Kevin Macdonald, were shot outside the School on 1 August 2013. Law appears in the scenes getting in and out of a car whilst pupils walk out of the School in the background.[9][10]

Fictional music character Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer, who performs "chap hop" (hip-hop delivered in a Received Pronunciation accent), is described as having attended the School by his creator, Jim Burke, a British parodist.[11]

A prank played by pupils at the School attracted national press coverage, including from The Sun, and generated online debate in 2009. Pupils moved numerous bricks onto the roof of the main building to spell out a rude word in large letters, which was spotted on Google Earth.[12]

Academics[edit]

Main School building
Lower school pupils

The School is consistently ranked amongst the top schools in the country. It placed 13th out of all secondary schools in England in academic league tables in 2015, putting it in the top 0.05%;[1] placed fifth out of all non-independent secondary schools in England in 2013;[13] and was named in The Times in a list of the "Best secondary schools in London" in 2017.[14]

In 2016, The Independent described the School as part of "a small group of elite feeder schools" in South East England that sends a disproportionate number of pupils to Oxbridge and contributes to a north-south bias in Oxbridge admissions.[15] In 2016, for example, over 11% of all university places secured by pupils in the Sixth Form were at Oxbridge, with all Oxbridge applicants having successfully secured their place.[16]

In 2017, The Times and The Independent featured the School in articles about the top schools in England that "eclipse Eton in ranking for A-level science",[17][18] referring to a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics league table in which the School placed 12th in the country.[19] In the same year, the School was nominated under the category "Science, technology and engineering teacher or team of the year" in the Times Educational Supplement Schools Awards 2017.[20]

One of the School's pupils, Krtin Nithiyanandam, received international press coverage in 2015 after he developed a test for Alzheimer's disease and autism aged 15,[21] for which he was awarded the Scientific American Innovator Award in 2015.[22] He again received widespread press coverage in 2016 after he discovered a way to make deadly triple negative breast cancer more treatable.[23][24] He conducted this research in the School's laboratories.[25] The Guardian named him alongside Sasha Obama (daughter of Barack and Michelle Obama) and Brooklyn Beckham (son of David and Victoria Beckham) in its "teen power list" of 2016,[26] and profiled him as a "rising star of 2017".[27]

Admissions[edit]

The School is selective, requiring pupils to pass an eleven plus examination in order to gain admission. In 2013, The Telegraph ranked it third in a list of the most oversubscribed schools in England, describing it as part of "an elite group of grammar schools...with more than a thousand applications".[28] The Daily Mail reported that, in 2012, the School required pupils to pass two entrance examinations, the first involving over 1,600 examinees and the second involving 588 for a total of 120 places.[29] The School sells mock entrance examinations to parents of prospective pupils, which generated an income of £70,000 in 2016.[30]

5 News broadcast a report on the School in 2016, interviewing Headmaster Mr G D Ironside and pupils and covering issues including elitism and life at the School.[31]

The School admits pupils from ages 11–18, or Years 7–13 (Upper Sixth) in the English academic system. There are approximately 120 pupils in each year in the Lower School (Years 7–9) and Upper School (Years 10 and 11), and slightly fewer in the Sixth Form, varying year-on-year. However, as of September 2015, the School began admitting up to 135 pupils in Year 7.[32]

School grounds[edit]

The School's main site is located in Sutton and its playing fields are located in neighbouring Cheam.[2] There has recently been extensive building work carried out to expand the main site.

Main site[edit]

The main site consists of the following:

  • Main building: Oldest School building, until recently featuring original Victorian panelled windows.

The Walch Memorial Playing Fields are located off Northey Avenue, Cheam, and typically referred to by pupils and staff at the School as "Northey". They are extensive off-site grounds to which pupils are transported a short distance in the School coach or minibuses. They consist of the following:

  • Pavilion: Overlooking the playing fields, this building contains the School bar and an events room on the upper floor (predominantly used for Old Suttonians Association events, leavers' events and Sports Day), as well as sports changing rooms and a small shop on the ground floor. Nearby stands a World War II memorial, commemorating over 100 former pupils who died during the War.[35]
  • Sports fields: Contains football and rugby pitches, cricket fields, an athletics track, long/triple jump sandpits and a cross-country course.

Other[edit]

In 2017, a pupil was named Young Engineer of the Year by the Worshipful Company of Scientific Instrument Makers, a livery company of the City of London,[46] and went on to represent Great Britain at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Los Angeles.[47] Previously, another pupil had also been named Young Engineer of the Year in 2011.[48]

In 2016, the School won the International Final of the Space Design Competition in the USA, having previously won the UK Final.[49]

The School runs various domestic and international trips every year. Recent trips have included Washington DC, Normandy, the Rhineland, Spain, European battlefields, the Arctic Circle and numerous ski trips.[50]

There are various publications produced by pupils of the School and distributed within and outside the School community, including the geography magazine Latitude 51°, the history magazine Retrospect, the biology magazine Life and the School magazine The Suttonian.[51]

Houses[edit]

Upon entry to the School, pupils are allocated to one of five forms, each form being associated with one of the five houses:[52]

     Manor      Warwick      Greyhound      Lenham      Throwley

If a pupil has a brother already at the School, he is ordinarily placed in the same house as his brother upon entry. The names of the houses represent the four boundary roads of the existing School site and the road upon which the School was originally founded just a short distance away (Throwley Road). These names were suggested in 2017 by Head of Geography and Old Suttonian Mr R Pletts to replace the previous houses of Blue, Brown, Green and Red, which had been in existence since 1920 and had themselves replaced the original houses of North, South, East and West.[53]

They are assisted by a Secretary and occasionally a Vice-Captain.

Combined Cadet Force[edit]

Cadets of the School CCF

The School has one of the most respected training programmes of all cadet forces in the country.[56] It was raised in early 1915 and officially recognised by the War Office in June 1915.[57]

Over the years, boys from the School’s CCF have both served and fought for their country in successive campaigns and wars.[58] In the School's main building, the World War I memorial lists the names of the 80 boys and one master who died during the War.[59] More recently, a World War II memorial was built at the Walch Memorial Playing Fields. It was constructed from 114 stones cemented together in a cairn, each representing a single former pupil who died during the War, and each collected and carried down from over 100 peaks in the United Kingdom.[35] On 15 November 2015, a dedication ceremony was conducted by Old Suttonian Father Jack Noble and attended by staff, former staff, cadets, former cadets, parents and old boys. A guard of honour was held, executed by Year 11 and Upper Sixth cadets under the command of Old Suttonian serving officers, and the names of the dead were read, as well as the Laurence Binyon poem, “For the Fallen".[60]

The officer team of the CCF is headed by Wing Commander David Hobbs, an ex-Head Cadet and ex-Head Boy.[61] The CCF is under the leadership of this officer team and an annually appointed Cadet Corporal Major (Army section) and Cadet Warrant Officer (RAF section) from the ranks of the Sixth Form cadets.[61] The head of the RAF section has long been Squadron Leader Giles Peter Benedict Marshall, a teacher at the School.[61]

In the late 1990s, sponsored by the Blues and Royals of the Household Cavalry, the Army section of the CCF began to admit girls from Nonsuch High School for Girls and, in 2007, the RAF section followed suit.

The CCF celebrated its centenary in 2016 at the Royal Air Force Club, a London gentlemen's club.[62]

As of 2016, the CCF is the most popular extracurricular activity at the School, with around 300 cadets from Year 9 to Upper Sixth from both the School and Nonsuch High School for Girls.[63]

The Old Suttonians Cadet Association, which is affiliated to the Old Suttonians Association, enables ex-cadets to stay in contact with each other.

  • World War I memorial in the main building

  • World War II memorial at the Walch Memorial Playing Fields

  • Old Suttonians, including serving officers and Father Jack Noble, at the World War II memorial dedication

Old Suttonians Association[edit]

Old boys of the School are known as "Old Suttonians" (often abbreviated to "Old Sutts") and entitled to use the post-nominal letters "OS". The Old Suttonians Association is the membership group for old boys of the School.[64]

The Association was founded as the Old Suttonians Football Club in 1906, and soon after as the Old Suttonians Association in 1909.[64] Both were formed by a master of the School, Mr S A Birks. 2006, therefore, saw the one-hundredth anniversary of the Old Suttonians Football Club, whilst the Association itself celebrated its centenary in 2009. The Old Suttonians Cadet Association marked its tenth anniversary in the same year.

The Association runs an annual reunion dinner in September of each year and, on a more intermittent basis, reunions for the various year groups, most recently for those at the School under the headmastership of Mr E H Hensley or Mr J A Cockshutt. In 2015, a lunch was held at the Royal Air Force Club to mark Mr G D Ironside's 25th anniversary as Headmaster, at which many Old Suttonians were present.

Subscribing Old Suttonians receive a copy of the School's annual publication, The Suttonian.

There are seven clubs affiliated to the Association:

In its lifetime, the Old Suttonians Association has had a very diverse range of affiliated activities attached to it. A literary and debating society, a cycling and rambling club, chess and bridge clubs, and a very strong swimming club were all in evidence at some point during the period 1909–1970.[65]

Freemasonry[edit]

Sutton Masonic Hall

The School has links to Freemasonry, specifically the Athene Lodge, which meets at Sutton Masonic Hall.[66] The Lodge typically publishes a report in the School's annual publication, The Suttonian, with updates on the activities of the Lodge and information for pupils and Old Suttonians considering joining.

The Lodge was established by a group of Old Suttonians who met in 1931 to consider forming a Masonic lodge to meet in Sutton. On 25 January 1932, a petition bearing 23 signatures was forwarded to the Provincial Grand Master of Surrey, requesting approval from the Grand Master to grant a Warrant of Constitution to form a regular lodge to meet under the name “Athena” in reference to the close association to the School. (References are made to Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, in The Sutton School Song.) On 10 February 1932, news was received that the Provincial Grand Master, H R H The Prince of Wales, had approved the petition and it had been sent to the Grand Secretary of the United Grand Lodge of England. On 2 March 1932, a new Warrant was issued under the slightly amended name of “Athene” and arrangements were put in place for the Consecration ceremony to take place at Mark Masons' Hall, London, on 10 May 1932. Then-Headmaster of the School, Mr J A Cockshut, was invested as Senior Warden of the Lodge.[66]

In the following years, through loans and donations, Athene Lodge became a Hall Stone Lodge and then a Patron Lodge of the Royal Masonic Hospital in 1939. After World War II, information was received that the contract for the purchase of the Sutton Masonic Hall had been signed and exchanged, and the Lodge contributed 300 guineas to become a shareholder. At a meeting on 17 December 1949, it was reported that a petition had been signed for a Warrant of Constitution for a Royal Arch Chapter to be attached to the Lodge. At the following meeting in February 1950, it was reported that the petition had been approved by the Supreme Grand Chapter and the new Athene Chapter was consecrated on 9 May 1950.[66]

The lodge of instruction, which was sanctioned by the Lodge at the first meeting after Consecration, met at the School for the first 25 years.[66]
