Wilson's School is a state boys' grammar school with academy status in the London Borough of Sutton, England.

It was founded as Wilson's Grammar School in Camberwell in 1615, making it one of the country's oldest state schools.[4] The school moved to its present location on part of the site of the former Croydon Airport in 1975. It became voluntary aided in 1997 and an Academy in June 2011. In 2015, the school celebrated its 400th anniversary with a visit from Prince Edward.[5]

Academic progress in the school is rated well above the national average.[6]

In November 2018, The Times' School Guide declared Wilson's the "State Secondary School of the Year". Wilson's was later awarded "London State Secondary School of the Decade" by The Times in 2020.[7]

The school's last Ofsted inspection[8] took place in September 2022 and rated the school as "Outstanding" in all categories.
