Offers will be made after midday on Thursday 19th August 2027 and will continue to be made until Tuesday 24th August 2027 if spaces are still available.

• How is the oversubscription criteria for external applicants applied?

Applicants who live within the Priority Area will be ranked by their GCSE points score (minimum entry requirement of 56) based upon our assessment of their grades in their best 8 GCSEs from the qualifying list . Subject to place availability on courses, places will be offered to the applicants in order from the ranked list. Offers will be conditional on the applicant meeting the entry and course requirements in their GCSEs. Please refer to our oversubscription criteria in our Sixth Form Admission Policy 2027-28.

• What happens if I live outside of the priority area of 10km?

External applicants who live outside the Priority Area will be ranked by their GCSE points score, below those who live within the Priority Area, based upon our assessment of their grades in their best 8 GCSEs from the qualifying list. Those living within the Priority Area will be ranked above those who live outside the Priority Area.

• Can I visit the School and when?

Through your account on the portal you will be able to sign up to a number of familiarisation days in either March or post exams in June. You will have an opportunity to see the school in action, tour the site with current students and meet members of the Sixth Form team.

• Will I receive any further updates from the school

All communications will be made via the application portal. Please ensure you regularly check your account for updates.

• What do I need to do on Results Day?

You must log into your account on the portal and enter your GCSE results alongside documentary evidence of your results plus either copy of your Birth Certificate, a copy of your Passport and proof of address. This will be done on the new section in Applicaa called ‘Enrolment Form’ which will be available on GCSE results day.

Students must enter achieved results (and upload a copy of their exam results) by midday on Thursday 19th August 2027 to be considered for a place in the Sixth Form. 

If we do not receive your results by this time, we will assume you are no longer interested in a place at Tiffin. 

• Do I need to phone or visit the school with my results on Results Day?

No.  All evidence should be uploaded onto your account by midday. You do not need to phone or visit the school.

• What happens if I am not available on Results Day?

You are not required to attend school on results day but need access to the internet. If you cannot upload the information, a nominated parent or carer can do it, but you will need to give them access to the application portal.

• When will you begin making offers?

We will begin making offers after midday on Thursday 19th August 2027.

• What is the deadline for the applicant to upload their GCSE results?

Midday on Thursday 19th August 2027 (Results Day). 

• When will I know if am going to be made an offer?

As above, we intend to make most offers by 5:00 pm on Tuesday 24th August 2027, subject to availability on your chosen courses, in line with our admissions policy.
