About the School
Tiffin School is a Voluntary Aided boys' Grammar School with religious character. The original foundation dates from the endowment of John and Thomas Tiffin, merchants of Kingston, in 1638. The School colours also date from that time and the three salmon in the School's crest are a reminder of the long association with Kingston.
The first Tiffin Boys' School opened on the Fairfield in January 1880, and the School moved to its present site, near to the centre of Kingston in 1929. In 1944 the school became a Grammar School and in 1993 changed from voluntary controlled to Grant Maintained. Latterly it has taken up the status of voluntary aided and from September 2003 has become a specialist Performing Arts College. In 2009 the School was awarded a second specialism for Languages.
There are now 140 boys in each of Years 7 to 11 and over 340 in the Sixth Form. The teaching staff numbers 65, and is amply supported by the office staff, technicians, librarians, grounds staff and Sports Centre staff.
Chair of the Governors - Stuart Lester
