Does anyone know of Tiffin taking this far out of catchment?

If you are out of catchment your chance is zero.

Absolutely zero if you are out of catchment. There are Grammar Schools in Berkshire aren't there? I can't even imagine why anyone would consider that journey for their poor child!

There's no point even sitting the test if living outside the catchment area. The school can easily fill its places with qualifying children living inside catchment (even if they get a lower score than ones outside catchment).
I suppose some children may sit it as a free mock in advance of independent school exams which come a bit later but, unless they have horribly misunderstood the admissions criteria, there won't be any out of catchment children sitting the test in hope of a place.
