New Malden, KT3 5AR · Kingston upon Thames · secondary school
Each Tiffin school sets its own TWO-STAGE test (separate registrations and dates): Stage 1 — English and maths, partly multiple-choice, with elements similar to GL and CEM styles plus school-specific question types. Used as a screen: only high scorers are invited to Stage 2. Stage 2 — English and maths papers set by the school itself: comprehension, a writing task, and standard-format maths questions (written answers, not multiple-choice). Scoring (Tiffin Girls' published model): a Combined Mark weighted 60% English / 40% maths — the English mark comes solely from Stage 2, while the maths mark combines Stage 2 and Stage 1 results 3:1. Tiffin School (boys) uses a similar two-stage structure — check each school's current admissions page for exact weightings and dates.
Same area, prioritising the same phase — useful for shortlisting alternatives.
