Tiffin boys- Wait list

104 replies

Hi all

DS is 10th on the list with the same score as last allocated place on offer day. We have independent offers but I feel 10th is worth waiting for.

Sharing here as I imagine others would be in similar positions and would appreciate past years experiences please

Hi All,

Anyone has any update if the WL has progressed further to 42 ?

I'd also like to know this!

Hi all,
For those who were offered a place from the waiting list—like us—we were offered a place at Tiffin several weeks ago, but the Kingston Council eAdmissions website still doesn’t show this as the outcome.
Should I be concerned?

Wow really? That’s quite the admission to be making at this stage if their marking was wrong! Did they give any reason as to why they’re remarking?

Show quote history

I would be very surprised... sounds like rumour with no substance unless anyone can provide more details..

Are they re-marking papers? A friend on the waiting list told us that a bunch of papers are being re-checked - anyone know any details? How many people affected?
Congrats Etito

Does anyone know what the waiting list is down to now?

Can anyone give an update on progress on the Tiffin waiting list as we move into May?

My son has a place but desperate to know whether his friends will be going too!

Edit: sorry I wasn't seeing the latest posts for some reason. Can now see someone updated on progress just yesterday

Edited

We are also looking for the same information.
Does the school publish the updated waiting list at any point?

@loislane73- would love to hear more about your son’s experience. How has he found the homework level? Was it easy to find other boys who live near to you? How has your son found the teachers?

Yes he’s really happy, in y9 now, the homework was quite tough in y7 but I expect it depends what your backgrounds are, we came
from a small state primary with hardly any so it was a step up. But I think they go hard in y7 in order to relax it later on. The teaching is excellent, but the standard is definitely high compared with state secondary but you know that already! It has a great community feel about it, he
has made excellent friends. And theres a huge amount of extra curricular on offer particularly in sports and
drama so it’s good to get involved if he can.

We have a son in the school already so if you do get a place and have any questions happy to try to answer! Good luck to your sons.

@highlight Hi All, let's share this link with more people who are in waitlist, so it helps all of us tracking progress of WL candidates.

Who emails the offer is it the school or the council?

Both. Received an email from the council first and then from the school the next day.

Congrats @Siusiu !! Did it come through council or directly from school?

Also do you know (by any chance) anyone after WL who received the confirmation mail ?

Thank you !
