TGS - 2014 Allocations/Wait lists

[Peridot]

One of my year 7 DD's friends at TGS was offered her place in May half-term last year. I'm afraid I don't know her exact score though. The waiting list operates right through until the end of the academic year; in fact a new girl joined my DD's form from the waiting list this term as another child relocated back to her home country. I think hers was the third relocation this academic year - so three waiting list places offered!

My dd got her result today but missed out on a place at Tiffin Girls School. Her combined Mark is 53.50 and the 150th place offered was 53.93. Could anyone please advise what her chances are on the waiting list.

Also does anyone know what last years cut off combined mark.

How do we find out where our dd is on the waiting list? Will the school tell us if we call them?

You stand a very good chance, just 0.43 short. It was thought (but never published), the list moved about 1.2 points last year.

You might not get any sensible waiting list info for a couple of weeks until initial acceptances/rejections are in. The school has to await some info as these go via the home Borough admissions, and Kingston admissions, to the school, so it might not be able to tell you a ranking yet. My (wild) guess is 0.43 will lead to an offer in about 6-9 weeks time

This year the chances of getting places from waiting list may also depends on the noof girls wo got above 53.93 but from ooc. Those girls even though they got very good score they could not chose TGS a their first choice due to ooc.

My DD has scored combined score of 79.13 out of 100. Though she has scored good score, she got into first choice school which is not TGS.

Congrats Optimistic. Its really a great score.
Which school was your first choice?
My DD is writing the exam this year for Tiffins. I request you suggest me what material should I use for the practicing.

Thanks and Regards

There's nothing to stop anyone putting any school they like as their first choice on their CAF - whether or not they are offered a place depends on the admissions criteria of the school concerned.

Any news about TGS wait list?

[KingstonDad]

Hi All, I have just received a mail from Kingston Council saying my DD has been offered a place at TGS.
We are accepting TGS offer and declining the initial offer from Nonsuch. Good luck to all who are still waiting to hear from the Schools/Councils.
