Sixth Form Entry Sep 2026 - KGS or Tiffin Boys - For Girls

[DDSIXTHFORM]

Hello there - I am keen to know if there are any other parents who have applied for KGS and Tiffin Boys Sixth Form for their DD to start in Sept 2026. My DD has a place at KGS and we have applied for Tiffin. MY DD is nervous about going to Tiffin (of course all dependent on grades and offer) and not sure if the School would suit her (I am wondering the same) and it'll help us to build a community on here with parents on same boat. We are thinking school culture + pastoral care + likeminded friends + school support + cost (although that's more my concern). Let me know if you are in same position and whether any parents from last year with DD went to Tiffin Boys and what their experience is of it!

Thank you!

Hi - I’d also be really interested to hear any recent experiences of girls joining Tiffin boys. My daughter has applied (for Sept 26) - obvs grades and offer dependent - and is weighing it up v staying where she is. Really interested to know more about school culture, how the girls find it, and particularly recent experiences of teaching in humanities and languages

I have a friend's daughter who recently joined and she has really enjoyed it, coming from a mixed comprehensive background. She talks a lot about the emphasis and variety in extra curriculars especially sport and the arts even where they don't have prior experience (she said the Tiffin Sport Instagram has more girls on it than boys). She also said there's over a 100 new students who join from loads of schools with most (she reckons about 3/4) being girls so no shortage of people in the same boat. She does Humanities and again seems to enjoy it so no qualms about teaching.

Thank ou for sharing this! Positive to hear!

I'd love to learn more about the school community and how many clubs/ extra curricular opportunities there are. Also how the School integrates new students and girls.

Are the teachers approachable and offer support if needed?

Please do share if anyone has experiences around this. Thank you!

I’ve known lots of girls who have gone to Tiffin 6th form and they seem to fit in even better than external boys. Lots of girls from Tiffin Girls also try and make the move across! I know a friend who works in WHS and they have a big chunk of girls applying to Tiffin every year.

There is every extra curricular club you could dream of, and if this is a factor, you have a much higher chance of getting onto Oxbridge by attending Tiffin over a private sixth form.

Hi.. checking if anyone recieved any offers today from Tiffin

No, just received an email to say we would hear tomorrow by 12pm. Ds has 9 x9 & 1x 8, we are in catchment.

Same got mail that they will communicate outcome by mid day tomorrow.

DD has an offer there for September which we didn’t expect. She really loves her current school (WHS) and doesn’t really want to move. But we’re lucky enough to have received an offer from Tiffin Boys and our daughter wants to do humanities/arts subjects. She doesn’t know many going there (one maybe). I’m attracted by the higher number of Oxbridge offers and no school fees to pay, but don’t want a miserable child who misses her old school! Are any of you sending your daughters there?

If your DD is happy at WHS and you can afford it I’d keep her there. The humanities results aren’t particularly impressive at Tiffin compared to other selective schools and it would be interesting to know how many Oxbridge offers they got for Humanities as well. If she wants to move that’s a different matter but if she’s going to be unhappy and resent you I really wouldn’t move her!
I know a few girls at Tiffin but they all moved from other state schools. I know one girl from WHS who went but she really wanted to go.

If she’s really happy where she is and you can afford fees I wouldn’t move her, as mental health is so important for teenagers. I don’t know the stats but I’ve heard anecdotally that tiffin gets a good number of stem oxbridge offers eg maths and engineering as it’s so selective and many of the boys are really gifted in these areas, so ace the entrance exams etc.
