Post 16 Results day: Thursday 15 August

The Year 13 Team will be on hand to give any UCAS advice at 9am in the Internet Café and all results will be given out from 10am.

Year 11 Results day & Post 16 Enrolment: Thursday 22 August

Results will be given to students from 10am in the café. Students who have met the school's Recommended grades will then be enrolled in the Post 16 Study Area. Those who have not met these Recommended grades but who still wish to study at Tallis Post 16 will be enrolled on the following day.

If students cannot come into school to collect their results, the exams office asks students to email them with the details of how they would like to receive them. The various options are:

Nominate a person, giving the person’s name in their email. The nominated person will need to know the student’s date of birth as a security question.
Results can be emailed on the day, but we can’t guarantee the time of the day this will happen, but usually by lunchtime.
Results sent in the post

Please remember, whichever option is chosen, it needs to be organised with the Exams Office in advance of the day. Our Exams Office contact details are exams@thomastallis.org.uk.

Mrs Roberts' Headstart Day talk, 2019

Mrs Roberts was unfortunately unable to present in person for Headstart Day this year but here is what she wanted to say to prospective parents and students about Thomas tallis School.

Ofsted Report

We are very pleased to present our OFSTED report from the inspectors’ visit in December 2018. We are delighted to have our strengths recognised and some very reasonable questions asked of us. Parents are entitled to have a copy of the report.

Thank you for your support.

Please take a look at our TALLIS Character page. We are delighted with the designs created by Gilles & Cecilie Studio with whom we have worked on several other projects. We hope you like them too!
