Tiffin is a unique, vibrant and exciting school, which inspires students to not only achieve academically, but to develop, as rounded individuals, their talents, skills, interests, personalities and whole character, enabling them to successfully progress in the wider world. With the School being formed in Kingston in 1880, and its origins going back to the seventeenth century, Tiffin has a long history of providing a top class education. Although proud of our heritage, Tiffin is also a forward thinking, outward looking, and dynamic institution, aiming to prepare our students for their future lives in our modern society; our conversion to Academy status in 2011, was indicative of our continual desire to further enrich, adapt and improve the educational environment and opportunities that Tiffin School can offer to its students.

The vision of the School is that we inspire students to engage, aspire and excel. The vision and aims of the School support the education of boys in a selective and high achieving environment. Through constantly working to sustain an outstanding quality in our teaching and learning, we aim for our students to become confident independent learners who engage in their education. Coupled with this is the belief that the development of these young men is best achieved by fostering an engagement in a rich range of wider opportunities, allowing them to explore and develop all aspects of their characters, and become mature young adults. Throughout we encourage our students to aspire to high aims, and excel through their engagement, enabling them to go on to higher education and successful careers of their choice.
