HI, just need a piece of advice. Ds got place at City (music scholarship) and Tiffin. I have not been to Tiffin and not sure how it compares to City facilities wise.. Know that Tiffin is good academicly, but not totally sure on extracurricular... Also atmosphere wise, is it very pushy? Read a comment in the net (from current parent) that they are appalled with admin and some patchie teaching... So confused. The deadline is Monday for City so feel very stressed 😵..Any insight please!! ! Thank you!

What have 'brown' faces got to do with the issue in question?

It's worth posting a question on the elevenplusforum. Lots of Tiffin experts there

I don't know City.

Tiffin sport is a big negative, so it depends how much this matters to you. It's not helped by lack of funding. They struggle to achieve in sports as the academic is all that matters at the school. Sports teachers bemoan the lack of facilities and the ability of the boys.
