How catchment works at The Tiffin Girls' School

The Tiffin Girls' School draws its intake using a designated catchment or distance priority around Kingston upon Thames. To be considered your child first needs to pass Tiffin two-stage test, which makes them eligible but does not guarantee a place.

Sit the two-stage test; qualifying girls are ranked by combined mark with Designated-Area residents allocated before any girls living outside the area. The qualifying distance shifts every year with demand, so a postcode that was inside the catchment one year can fall outside it the next.

Bottom line: for The Tiffin Girls' School, both things matter, your child must pass the 11+, and you generally need to live close enough to clear that year's distance cut-off.
