Admissions
It is a grammar school, with Jane Burton the Headmistress since 2012. The school is also twinned with Wallington County Grammar School for Boys, in many events due to both the schools being in the same area as each other. Girls can join the boys' school's sixth form. Girls' schools, whether selective or not, generally have a better academic record than equivalent-intake mixed schools, and as a result tend to be oversubscribed schools; Wallington High is no exception. Around 2000 girls each year apply for 210 available places. Places at the school have been harder to secure since recent economic conditions have forced an inevitable exodus from independent schools.
The school is situated in Woodcote Green on the A237, around a half-mile north of the A2022 crossroads, at the junction of Sandy Lane South, Woodmansterne Lane, and Woodcote Road (A237). It is near the southern edge of the borough of Sutton, and the western edge of Croydon, and next door to Woodcote Green Garden Centre and Nurseries. It is only one mile north-east of Surrey, specifically Woodmansterne.
