Oversubscription criteria (in which order, those on the waiting list must be ranked; anyone joining the list at any time must be ranked correctly according to these criteria):
Places will be allocated as follows:
A To a boy who has an education, health and care plan (EHCP) that names Tiffin School specifically on
the plan. (For guidance: there are separate processes to be followed for naming a school on an
EHCP and you should speak first with your SEN case worker or Home Local Authority who
administers the process. Boys need to have demonstrated their ability and aptitude through the
testing process - see paragraph 7).
Places will then be allocated on the basis of selection by ability as demonstrated in Tiffin School’s
test procedure in rank order of the combined score in the following order:
B To boys whose combined score is higher than or equal to the 450th ranked combined score of all
applicants who sat the Stage Two Test in the following order of priority:
i. Currently Looked After Children and Previously Looked After Children (see Appendix C) whose
permanent place of residence (see Appendix B) is within the Priority Area (see paragraph 13).
Applications under this criterion must be accompanied by professionally supported evidence,
then
ii. Boys whose primary school receives Pupil Premium funding (see Appendix D) in respect of him
and whose permanent place of residence (see Appendix B) is within the Priority Area (see
paragraph 13) then
iii. Up to 9 further places to boys who have demonstrated aptitude in sport (by achieving a score
in the Sporting Aptitude Assessment above the benchmark threshold) by rank order of
performance in the Sporting Aptitude Assessment and whose permanent place of residence
(see Appendix B) is within the Priority Area (see paragraph 13).
iv. Up to 9 further places to boys who have demonstrated aptitude in music (by achieving a score
in the Musical Aptitude Assessment above the benchmark threshold) by rank order of
performance in the Musical Aptitude Assessment and whose permanent place of residence
(see Appendix B) is within the Priority Area (see paragraph 13).
The remaining places will be allocated in rank order of the combined score in the following order of
priority:
C Boys whose permanent place of residence (see Appendix B) is within the Priority Area (see
paragraph 13); if there are any remaining places, then:
D Boys whose permanent place of residence is outside the Priority Area.
So, a few possibilities, including someone making a new later application, a change of preferences, a verified move from OOC to IC, even (not desperately common, especially at this stage, but it does happen) a qualified boy for whom an ECHP was nowhere near being finalised by October (so a normal CAF application was made), now having their EHCP finalised and naming the school. The last would have to be admitted, even if the school was currently at PAN for the new year group.
