Grades to get into Tiffin Girls School for sixth form?

Hello! I recently got a conditional offer to Tiffin Girls School and upon meeting them, they told me that I must reach my predicted grades to get in. The predicted grades I put down were:

Physics - A*
Chemistry - A*
Biology - A*
Maths - A*
English Language - A*
English Literature - A*
Music - A*
Geography -A*
R.S. - A*
French - A
General Studies - I got entered into the exam after I sent in my application, so this subject isn't part of my target grades.

The school said I must get my 8 A*s, but they can be from any subject (the only ones I MUST get an A* in are maths and physics as I am taking them for A-Levels, but they're very easy). They also told me that even if I don't get my 8 A*s but I get very close to it, there is a possibility they may still accept me into their sixth form.

I'm fairly confident in my ability to reach these targets, however I just want to know how much leeway I have in case I don't reach them. What's the minimum amount of A*s they want, for example? Does anybody know?

Thank you for reading!

Wow, that's tough. I applied for Tiffins Boys School for Sixth Form earlier on this year. When I had my interview, they gave me a conditional offer of an A*, like 4 As and 3 Bs. I was completely thrown off as they seemed like the type of school to ask for all A-A*s.

I guess as they are separate schools they have different entry policies...

But lucky! Are you going then?

I should be able to get the grades but I doubt I'd accept the offer. It would be a 30 minute bus ride every day and I'm not sure if I'm up for that. Furthermore, the teaching at my secondary school ranges from okay to excellent so I'll probably just stay at my sixth form.

Ah, right. Good luck with your GCSEs anyway

Hi! I have a conditional offer as well

My school predicted me 10 A*s (which I'm pleased with, but is also incredibly stressful) and so Tiffin said that in order to guarantee my place, I have to achieve them. However, it was implied (though not said officially) that if that dropped by 1 (maybe 2) A*s, I would be more likely to achieve my place than not.

The official line I think is that after all the people who achieve their offer accept their place, they hand out the remaining places based on how close people were (ie if you were offered 10 and got 9 you would be closer in line than someone offered 8 who achieved 6). But I'm not entirely sure.

The very minimum I have to achieve is 7A*s with at least 2 of them in Maths, Chemistry and Biology as I am taking those (plus History) for A-Level.

Hope that helped! Send me a PM if you want to discuss Tiffin further

what were your predicted grades?

Hi! I also have a place at tiffin girls but I don't know whether I want to go or not - if you get the grades, will you definitely go? (I also need to get 9A*s but idk if I got them)

I found it okay - but it felt a little Unorganised, and they didn't really say much I didn't already know! Are you doing a chemistry day as well?

It depends - I will almost certainly go if I get the grades, unless I can get a scholarship to this other different school (which is very unlikely). You? ������
