I will move your post to Surrey.
Have you looked at the school websites? They will have the admissions criteria and catchment areas.

Both schools have residence criteria. Parents should read the information published by each school they’re considering.

Wallington has one catchment area, a 6.7km radius from the school (these are the "Top 100" places).
Nonsuch has up to 110 places for those within 5.25km of the school and 15 ring-fenced places for residents of Sutton borough (not sure how this interacts with the other catchment places tbh - not sure if scores for these places would be higher or lower than the other catchment scores).
This information is available on the school websites in the admissions policies. You need to read the policies carefully before you apply to either school and also look at the scores that have previously gained admission.

Since Nonsuch ring-fenced criterion comes after 110 places for in-catchment children, the score of successful candidates under this criterion will be equal to or lower than the last successful candidate’s score under in-catchment criterion.
Novel way of supporting local children as ring fenced places are for children whose parents pay council tax to Sutton borough, where this school is situated.

Yep the first 85 places are just the top 85 marks of the girls who have put it down on the CAF.
Up to 110 (depending on the pupil premium etc criteria) need to live within the 5.25km radius of nonsuch
Then the final 15 places go to those who pay council tax to Sutton Council
Waiting lists are operated on all 3 criteria
It has changed fairly recently due to pushback from local residents as Sutton has a Secondary school place shortage for those who live in borough. The area of Worcester Park is a particularly black spot. Various High Schools have tried different things to try and get it covered with varying degrees of success
