Welcome to our Post 16 website. We are a highly successful sixth form centre, one of the best in Greenwich. We aim for all our students to be the best they can be academically, whilst developing morally, socially and emotionally too. A good education is about a lot more than simply getting excellent grades: it is about forming the character of a person in such a way that they excel in whatever they choose to do professionally in the future, and flourish also in their personal life. It is education to understand the world and change it for the better.

A-level and BTEC Results Day was Thursday 18 August. ​Results were pretty special again this year - see them here.

UCAS 2020-2021 - Fantastic Four off to Oxbridge - and more to Med. School!

Four of our fabulous Year 13 students are to take up their places at Oxbridge. Interviews were online just before Christmas, and shortly after we learned that Rosie D is to read Engineering, Jenny D is to read Natural Sciences, and Finley M is to read History - at Cambridge.  

Mrs Roberts observes: "We make a fuss about this not because Oxbridge is best for everyone, or training as a doctor, but because it takes a monumental effort to get comprehensive school children in. Well done to all concerned."

​Tallis Post-16 judged Outstanding by OFSTED

Tallis Post-16 was inspected in December 2018 and the OFSTED report was published in January 2019.  See the extract from our inspection report – we think it is honest and fair. It’s also glowing! OFSTED say we offer outstanding teaching, meticulous advice about university and art colleges, are generally very well organised, are highly inclusive, are competently led – high praise! - and much else that is lovely to hear. Sometimes it’s nice to be told what you already know!
