Beyond TPS: The right destination school for your child
South West London’s independent senior school sector is highly competitive and we recognise that choosing the right school for your child is an incredibly important decision.
We pride ourselves in identifying the senior schools that are best suited to our pupils, ensuring they will thrive academically and socially and have their talents and interests catered for.
Throughout your child’s time at TPS, we build up a detailed picture of their academic ability, skills, talents, character and potential. Together with our comprehensive knowledge, experience and excellent relationships with the schools that our pupils progress to, we provide valuable insight and guidance to support your decision-making.
Supported at all stages of the process
Parents can expect detailed presentations and ongoing information from Year 4 onwards; outlining sector information, senior school options, entry requirements and processes.
Our Headmaster also meets families on a one-to-one basis to provide bespoke advice tailored specifically to your child. We’re fully committed to keeping you fully informed and supported at all stages of the process.
All pupils in Year 6 sit senior entrance exams, with offers made for Year 7 or Year 9 transfer. Where applications are for a Year 9 transition, the pupils sit the same examinations as those looking for Year 7 entry but with a deferred offer, allowing the girls and boys further time to develop as learners at TPS. Staying on at TPS Senior Prep allows the pupils to access our robust KS3 provision alongside the Pre-Senior Baccalaureate (PSB) framework, which has a core skills focus and is designed to develop independence, leadership, creativity and collaboration.
The majority of our pupils gain places at their preferred independent day schools: popular destinations include Epsom College, Halliford, Hampton, King’s College, Kingston Grammar, Lady Eleanor Holles (LEH), Reeds, St George’s College, Sir William Perkins’s, Surbiton High, Thomas’s College and Wimbledon High, along with a number of boarding and grammar schools.
Recognising and nurturing talent is an important focus at TPS, whether it be academic, sport, art, music or drama. So we’re always delighted for our pupils when those remarkable skills and efforts are rewarded by prestigious scholarship offers from senior schools.
Above all, we’re incredibly proud of our pupils’ achievements and know that they will continue to flourish and excel as they embark on the next stage of their journey.
