[Charlie]

Has anyone received results from sutton yet?

Not yet ... waiting on it. Got the Wilson's test result.
Does anyone know how likely are people to actually be offered a place if they made it through this stage?

In my son’s year (2020 entry), Wilson’s got to around rank 400 when offering; SGS around rank 650.

And... probably there is no way of knowing what one's DS's rank is, is there?

Sutton results just in!

1043 candidates sat the second stage test and 861 met the required standard.

No, sorry. The boys don’t find out as the schools want them to start without preconceived ideas of where they rank against their peers. I know it’s hard though! I have never heard of a boy not getting a place at any of the three grammar schools if they pass all three, if that helps!

We took the tests without really thinking about the details.

We're only about 5 miles away further into London but it'd be something like a 45-55 minute door to door commute each way.

Is that something, in the opinion of others, that it'd be in any way sensible to attempt?

For me it depends on what the journey is like (and alternatives if transport doesn’t go to plan sometimes). Plenty do that travel time though.

Wow, so Sutton boys’ results are out even though their exam was a whole week after the girls’ one (2nd stage) and we’re still waiting on Sutton girls’ results?! This baffles me..

Agreed, my son's journey is about 45 mins door to door but it's a single train, no changing, short walks at each end, a fairly frequent service and an alternative route home if the usual train doesn't work. With hindsight it's probably a bit further away than I'd like but it's not an unusual journey for that school and he's never had any problems with doing it.

If your journey would involve a change of transport mode - a bus and a train or two trains or whatever - then I would reconsider because your're doubling the chances of something going wrong and adding in more waiting time.
