My son was on the waiting list and was offered a place in April last year. I can't remember exactly what position we were (perhaps 14) but the admissions tutor felt it highly unlikely that the waiting list would move as it had done in previous years so we were more than shocked when she telephoned us. I think at position 11 you will be offered a place. Interestingly, there were 5 vacancies in September and new boys arrived in January 2008.
Good luck

Those who choose to go private will hang onto their Grammar School place until the last minute, especially with the financial climate as it is now!
As Tiffin start offering more places so does Sutton- it's the cycle of accepting one school and rejecting the other- there are those with Sutton places who would prefer Tiffin. There will be a number of boys who live in Clapham, Richmond, Kingston, Putney and Wimbledon who have places at Sutton but would prefer Tiffin because the journey to school by train is easier. This is the same for Nonsuch Girls and Tiffin Girls. I know this was a deciding factor for some last year. It is worth keeping an eye on the Tiffin Waiting List thread.
