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.

Year 12 & 13 Mock Exams

Information about the mocks exams can be found on the Letters Home page of the website.

Masks on-site

In line with the government guidelines, we would strongly prefer all non-exempt sixth form students to wear a mask or face-covering when on site. This means when moving around the building, and in classrooms and study areas. Students who believe themselves to be exempt may obtain a sticker for their lanyard from their Head of Year.​

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.  At the Other Place, Morgan M is to read History.  Meanwhile, Rhianne B and Louis T are set to become doctors in due course.  Congratulations to them all!

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!

Thomas Tallis School 16-19 Tuition Fund Expenditure Statement 

The DFE’s 16-19 Tuition Fund for 2021-2022 is ring-fenced for the provision of small group tuition for certain groups of KS5 students whose learning was disrupted last year: students who achieved a grade 4 or below in English or Mathematics; students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), students who achieved a grade 4 or above in English and/or mathematics and are from an economically disadvantaged background and would need catch up support.
 
We are required by the DFE to publish a statement on our website explaining how we will spend this money. With this money, Thomas Tallis School intends to focus on providing small group and individual tuition in English and/or mathematics to students from the groups above who have gaps in their knowledge, or a need to improve in specific areas.
