Tiffin School
Kingston upon Thames, KT2 6RL · Kingston upon Thames · Grammar school
5th of 11 secondary schools in Kingston upon Thames we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 152 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.9/10 among them, against 9.7/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out

| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.86 · 95 | 25% | 2.38 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 79.1 · 99 | 10% | 0.99 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in basketball, rugby, and skiing, join the choir, and undertake trips including a biology field trip to Pembroke, geography trips to Iceland, and choir tours to China, Australia, and New Zealand.
Getting in. The school has 1462 pupils in a capacity of 1400, meaning it is over capacity by 62. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity with 62 extra pupils? What support is available for pupils aiming to improve their Progress 8 scores? How does the school integrate the various academic trips into the core curriculum?
