Tiffin School
About Tiffin School
Tiffin School sits in the Kingston upon Thames local authority, a London borough with a strong concentration of high-performing secondary schools. Among the 14 state secondaries in the LA, Tiffin is a boys’ grammar school that competes directly with the likes of The Kingston Academy, Tiffin Girls’ School, and Tolworth Girls’ School and Sixth Form, all of which rank as its top peers locally. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2022, rated it Good overall, a step down from the Outstanding grade it had held since at least its previous inspection in 2007. That earlier inspection gave top marks across the board, including for overall effectiveness, leadership, and sixth-form provision. The 2022 report, however, judged quality of education and leadership and management as Good, while behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and sixth-form provision all remained Outstanding. Tiffin is one of five Outstanding-rated schools in the LA, and its nearest Outstanding neighbour, Tiffin Girls’ School, is just 0.7 km away.
