Nonsuch High School is an all-girls' grammar school with academy status, located in Cheam, in the borough of Epsom and Ewell in Surrey, England, on the border of the London Borough of Sutton, and standing in 22 acres (89,000 m2) of grounds on the edge of Nonsuch Park. The school is a specialist science college and languages school and is currently ranked as the 17th best performing state school by GCSE results in 2016
The school was founded in 1938.
The school has achieved various awards such as Beacon status, Sportsmark Award, Schools Achievement Award and Education Extra - Distinction. It also gained specialist science college status in July 2004 and then language school status. This means extra funding was provided. Every year, along with St Philomena's Catholic High School for Girls, Nonsuch provides the ball girls for the Queen's Club Championships in addition to providing ballgirls for the ATP tournament. The school was awarded academy status on 1 June 2011.
As Nonsuch is a grammar school, girls are required to take the 11+ exam to gain entry into year 7, which used to be a shared selection test with Wallington High School for Girls, but was made separate in 2009. However, there are sometimes additional places in other year groups, and these are allocated based on tests in English, Mathematics and Science. There is another intake for the sixth form, which is based on GCSE results. An average points score of 50 points and a grade B or above in GCSE Mathematics and English Language is needed for this.
The Nonsuch catchment area is defined by a circle with a radius of 5.25km from the front door of the school.
