Kingston Grammar School
Any views on this school. I have checked posts on these forum and although there is quite a lot of info on Tiffin Grammar, there is nothing on Kingston. Does anybody know about some basic facts:
How is the reputation of this school?
Is it difficult to get a place here?
How does the entrance exam setup work?
How does Kingston compare with Tiffin?
Thanks in advance.

The biggest difference between Tiffin and Kingston Grammar is that Kingston is not actually a grammar school (confusing I know..) it's a private school, and so is fee paying.
I don't know much about it but I get the general impression that it is geared towards high achievement across the curriculum, sports, music and performing arts.
Hope this helps.

I think you need to attend an open evening or another such appointment.Drastic Dad wrote:Any views on this school. I have checked posts on these forum and although there is quite a lot of info on Tiffin Grammar, there is nothing on Kingston. Does anybody know about some basic facts:

IMHO it suits some and not others
The big differences are being CoEd and the fees!

Kingston Grammar
Hi I have just picked up this thread, My son is taking the entrance exam this weekend. We did visit the school and were very impressed, I think the scholarships are up to 50% off the of fees, but I get the impression that this could be divided by a few children so you may not get the 50%. We are hoping to get him a sports scholarship, there are other scholarships as well.
