The Tiffin Girls' School is the dominant girls' grammar in south-west London, in Kingston upon Thames and rated Outstanding. It is highly selective, and since 2014 it has prioritised girls living in its Designated Area, so it is no longer a pure super-selective. Here is how it admits, what its results look like, and how to prepare.

How to get into Tiffin Girls': the 11+ tests
Entry is through the school's own two-stage test:
- Stage one is two multiple-choice papers in English and maths, used to decide who is invited to stage two.
- Stage two, for girls who qualify, is written and includes a maths paper and an English paper of open-answer comprehension and a creative writing task. The combined mark is weighted 60 percent English and 40 percent maths, so the writing matters.
Register directly with the school in the summer before Year 6, sit the tests in the autumn, then name Tiffin Girls' on your local authority application form. Confirm the exact dates and format on the school's admissions page each year.
Places and the Designated Area
This is the part families most often get wrong. Tiffin Girls' has 180 places and ranks qualifying girls by their combined mark, but girls living in its Designated Area are allocated places before any girls living outside it. So for most families, qualifying on score is only half the job: you also need to live in the Designated Area to be in the strongest position.
It means Tiffin Girls' is no longer a pure super-selective, despite its reputation. See our Tiffin Girls' catchment guide and the catchment checker to check where you stand.
Is Tiffin Girls' super-selective?
Not any more. It was historically treated as a super-selective, but since 2014 the Designated Area takes priority, so both a high score and your address matter. A girl outside the area needs an exceptional mark, while a girl inside it still needs to qualify but is in a much stronger position. See super-selective vs standard-selective grammars for how this works.
How to prepare for the Tiffin Girls' 11+
Because places are decided by score, the gap between an offer and a near miss is small, so steady preparation matters. Build strong English and maths, and at the schools that set one a confident piece of writing, alongside reasoning where it is tested, then add timed practice in the year before the test. Little and often beats last-minute cramming.
