Tiffin Girls scores, Designated Area and Inner Area
The final score is 60% English and 40% maths: Stage 2 English 60%, Stage 2 maths 30%, Stage 1 maths 10%. The Inner Area uses named wards; the wider Designated Area uses postal districts.
Does Stage 1 maths count?
Yes, for 10%. The Stage 1 test, English and maths, decides who reaches Stage 2.
Worked example Read the weighting
If Stage 1 maths rises by 10 standardised points and nothing else changes, how much does the total rise?
Answer: 10 × 0.10 = 1 point.
The trap: Ten extra raw answers are not ten standardised points.
A postcode is not a ward
An address can be in the Designated Area but outside the Inner Area. Check the ward list and postal districts in sections 5.3 and 5.4 of the policy.
- Check the ward as well as the postal district.
- Ask admissions about any uncertain address before a move.

What Tiffin Girls' has published for 2024 to 2026
Choose a category.
Girls tested at each stage and the 180 places. The school does not publish the lowest mark offered.
| Entry year | Sat Stage One | Sat Stage Two | Places | Lowest mark offered |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 1,468 | 474 | 180 | Not published |
| 2025 | 1,498 | 475 | 180 | Not published |

- All places in 2024 to 2026 went to girls living in the Designated Area or Inner Area.
- Area figures use the address given when registering for the tests (or updated during testing), not necessarily the council application address.
- The school publishes no lowest mark offered and asks that the figures are not used for comparisons, because the policy and cohort change each year.
What you are told, and how the waiting list moves
- Around 14 October 2026: whether your daughter is invited to Stage Two. Stage One scores are not given. Source
- 2 March 2027: Stage Two results go only to girls held on the waiting list. Girls offered Tiffin Girls' or a higher preference school do not receive results. Source
- The waiting list follows the order for the remaining places: Designated Area girls first, then girls outside it, each by combined mark. Ties go by the tie-break order, ending with distance. Source
- The list runs from 1 March 2027 to the last day of the 2027 to 2028 school year. The combined mark of the lowest girl offered a place by then becomes the cut-off score. Source
Questions parents ask
What is the Tiffin Girls cut-off score?
The school does not publish one. Every place from 2024 to 2026 went to girls in the Designated or Inner Area.
When do Tiffin Girls parents get the Stage 2 result?
Around 14 October you learn whether your daughter is invited to Stage Two, with no scores. On 2 March 2027 the school emails Stage Two results only to girls held on the waiting list. Girls offered Tiffin Girls' or a higher preference school do not receive results.
How does the Tiffin Girls waiting list work?
It runs from 1 March 2027 to the end of the 2027 to 2028 school year. Girls are ranked by combined mark, Designated Area girls first and then girls outside it, with ties settled by the policy's tie-break order. Girls offered a higher preference school are not added unless their parents ask.
