  • Wilson's School is a boys' grammar school in Wallington, in the London Borough of Sutton, UK. Admission is based on performance in an entrance test with around 1,000 pupils being taught there. It was founded as Wilson's Grammar School in Camberwell in 1615, moving to its present location on part of the site of the former Croydon Airport in 1975, changing its name in the process. The move was due to concerns over the size of the facilities, government policy being against grammar schools at the time, and the wish of Sutton Council to have an additional grammar school. Wilson's became Voluntary Aided in 1997. It was designated as a specialist school in Mathematics and Computing in 2002 and in April 2007 added a second specialism in the Arts. Its academic performance places it among the best schools in the United Kingdom. The school operates five houses: Brecon, Camberwell, Greencoat, Hayes and Southwark. The main sport is Association Football, although others such as athletics and cricket are also played. Swimming and Water Polo were of importance before the conversion of the swimming pool into an additional exercise hall. The status of Badminton Academy was conferred on it in 2006. Wilson's hosts a Combined Cadet Force and has achieved Eco-Schools status. While information on pupils taught at the school before 1843 has been lost, Wilson's has a long list of noted Old Boys across the fields of entertainment, science, the military and the church. "A Short History of Wilson's School", from which much of the information below was taken, was first published in 1951; its most recent edition was in 1987.
