TOLWORTH GIRLS' SCHOOL & SIXTH FORM

What TOLWORTH GIRLS' SCHOOL & SIXTH FORM does

Tolworth Girls' School & Sixth Form is a state-funded secondary school located in Surbiton, within the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom. Founded in 1932, the school serves more than 1,400 students, including nearly 300 in its mixed-gender Sixth Form (Years 12-13). The main school provides girls-only secondary education for Years 7-11 following the national curriculum, while the Sixth Form offers over 25 A-Level and Level 3 vocational subjects including Sciences, Humanities, Languages, Arts, and vocational pathways such as Criminology, Health and Social Care, and Travel and Tourism.

The school is led by a Headteacher (Jolande) with a Director of Sixth Form (O Rhead) and a Head of Year 13 (S Bowman) overseeing operations with approximately 91 staff. It is described as over-subscribed, with academic outcomes including 43% of A-Level grades at A*-B and 74% at A*-C in 2025, alongside 46% of Level 3 vocational grades at Distinction/Distinction*. The institution maintains an alumni network through the Future First platform and participates in the Challenge Partners educational improvement network.

As a UK state-funded comprehensive school, the institution does not earn tuition revenue; instead it is funded through local authority per-pupil allocations, supplemented by modest voluntary contributions (e.g., £60 Year 13 and £100 Year 12 Sixth Form common room fees). Admissions are processed through the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames framework with oversubscription criteria. Distribution relies on the school's website, prospectus, open evenings, and active social media presence (Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube) to attract prospective Year 7 and Sixth Form applicants.

Regional players

• Surbiton High School: Independent co-educational school based in Surbiton. Serves the same immediate community but operates as a fee-paying alternative rather than a state comprehensive competitor.
• Southborough High School: Co-educational secondary school in Surbiton/Kingston area. Local peer for non-selective applicants and a substitute for families not admitted to oversubscribed schools.
• Raynes Park High School: Co-educational secondary school in neighbouring Merton. Comparable comprehensive offering across the borough border with overlapping applicant pools.
• The Holy Cross School: Faith-based girls' secondary school in the same borough. Competes for faith-aligned families and as a single-sex alternative within the Kingston admissions landscape.
• Hollyfield School: Co-educational secondary school in Surbiton sharing the same catchment. Competes for mid-attainment students who might otherwise apply to Tolworth.

Direct peers

• The Tiffin Girls' School: Selective girls' secondary school in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. Direct competitor for high-attaining students in the same catchment, with comparable A-Level and GCSE outcomes.
