Tiffin School (boys) 2020 Allocation and WL

[Tryingtokeepup]

100 offers in July? How does that work? Independent school fees are owed from April?

[streathammum]

I think that they mean those with scores of 100 were offered a place - not that there were 100 offers.

I see. Thank you!

Hi,

Congratulations to all who got a place. Just wondering if anyone has received a confirmation place from the wait list since May. Would you mind posting your son's wait list position and combined score please? I have looked through previous years post to gauge how many have gotten a place historically. Just wondering if it is just that bit out of reach.

Many thanks

Kind regards

Javster

Hi, How does the waitlist work for applicants in OPA. My son got 113 marks but since we are not in IPA we were not offered a seat.

The waiting list follows the same criteria as the admissions criteria. From the school admission criteria (on the school website):

4 Waiting lists
4.1 Ranked waiting lists will be held in the order determined by the Selection Criteria (see paragraph 9)
and will automatically consist of the names of boys who did not receive a higher preference offer. If
there are several boys on the same score then they will be placed in rank order of nearest distance to
Tiffin School, measured as described in paragraph 10.3 and 10.4.
4.2 The waiting list will be maintained from 1 March 2020 until the last day of Tiffin School’s 2020 – 2021
academic year. During this period, if the admission number for Year 7 falls below 180, an offer will be
made to the next boy on the waiting list.

Paragraph 9:

9 Tiffin School’s Selection Criteria
9.1 Places will be allocated as follows:
A To a boy who has an education, health and care (EHC) plan, or a Statement of Special Educational
Needs, that names Tiffin School specifically on the plan / statement. (For guidance: there are separate
processes to be followed for naming a school on an EHC plan /statement and you should speak first
with your SEN case worker or Home Local Authority who administers the process. Boys need to have
demonstrated their ability and aptitude through the testing process).
Places will then be allocated on the basis of selection by ability as demonstrated in Tiffin School’s test
procedure in rank order of the combined score in the following order:
B To boys whose combined score is higher than or equal to the 300th ranked mark of all applicants who
sat the Stage Two Test in the following order of priority:
i. Currently Looked After Children and previously Looked After Children (see Appendix C) whose
permanent place of residence (see Appendix B) is within the Inner Priority Area (see paragraph 10).
Applications under this criterion must be accompanied by professionally supported evidence, then

5
ii. Boys whose primary school receives pupil premium funding (see Appendix D) in respect of him and
whose permanent place of residence (see Appendix B) is within the Inner Priority Area (see
paragraph 10).
The remaining places will be allocated in rank order of the combined score in the following order of
priority:
C Boys whose permanent place of residence (see Appendix B) is within the Inner Priority Area (see
paragraph 10); if there are any remaining places, then:
D Boys whose permanent place of residence is in the Outer Priority Area. If there are any remaining
places, then:
E Boys whose permanent place of residence is outside the Priority Areas.
