EDUCATION TO UNDERSTAND THE WORLD
​& CHANGE IT FOR THE BETTER

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.

​LATEST NEWS:

11 Tallis students have received Oxbridge offers

[30 January 2026] Nine of our applicants to Cambridge this year have received offers. Four have been offered places to read Natural Sciences, and other students have secured offers for Linguistics, for History and French, for Design, for HSPS and for Land Economy. Two of our Oxford applicants had word of their success earlier this month also, winning places for PPL and for English Language and Literature. We are delighted for our young people and congratulate them on their perseverance and hard work in preparing so thoroughly for the arduous selection process.

Progression update

[30 January 2026] The UCAS team have supported 320 students to apply to university before the application deadline. Over eighty have already received all their offers back and 220 have heard from at least some of the places they’ve applied to. Several have been working on Degree Apprenticeship applications and folk have already applied to KPMG, JP Morgan, the Civil Service and the MOD this year. Visual & Media Arts applicants – there are fifty this year – continue work on their portfolios, and Year 13 World of Work students are about to begin another round of bespoke careers meetings with Tallis’ careers advisor.

Year 12 Work Experience visits

[30 January 2026] Staff have been visiting the Year 12 students placed on Work Experience as part of their course, and have had some lovely feedback. Two of our students may well be offered jobs, such is the positive impression they have made; and yesterday we were advised that the young person learning the ropes in a local pharmacy was the best such person the pharmacy had ever had in seven years of taking work experience candidates.
