Welcome to Tiffin Girls’ School

Welcome from the Head Teacher

It is my great privilege as the new Head Teacher of The Tiffin Girls’ School to welcome you to our website. I trust that you will gain insight into the school and the wonderful education it offers.

The Tiffin Girls’ School is an outstanding school in ways that encompass and extend far beyond Ofsted criteria. The wealth of knowledge, commitment and expertise that is the current hallmark of the school is also its ongoing strength and these attributes will ensure that the school continues to flourish in a changing and challenging educational climate. Tiffin girls are enabled not only to achieve highly academically but are also encouraged to take part in the many extracurricular drama, music, business enterprise, public speaking activities, trips and sporting events that are offered. The school’s continuing excellence in all these areas is testament to the enthusiasm and dedication of both students and staff.

The quality of learning and teaching is at the centre of any school’s success and both teachers and support staff work together to ensure that all pupils at the school have an appropriately challenging curriculum, expertly delivered, through which they are encouraged to think independently while they are guided to achieve excellence in external examinations, participate fully in the life of the school and decide wisely on their future pathways.

The Tiffin Girls’ School Parent Staff Association, to which all parents automatically belong, contributes to the life of the school in very many ways, both through its lively schedule of social events and the financial contribution it makes through its fundraising activities. It is another example of the commitment of all members of the school community to the life and wellbeing of the school.

The Tiffin Girls’ School was founded in 1880 to provide ‘a superior education for girls’ and it continues to fulfil that aim in the 21st Century; its motto is ‘sapere aude’ – dare to be wise – and we recognise that  real learning does require us at times to be brave enough to take risks, to move beyond our comfort zone. It is through challenging ourselves and each other to fulfil our own potential that we truly achieve and The Tiffin Girls’ School provides a safe yet challenging environment in which the young women who do dare to be wise gain the expert knowledge and skills they require not only to fulfil their academic potential but also to develop as confident, happy and successful young women.

With best wishes
Vanessa Ward
Head Teacher
