Tolworth Girls' School and Sixth Form: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 229 families put Tolworth Girls' School and Sixth Form as their first choice and 768 named it as one of their preferences, for 255 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2026 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
First-choice demand has risen from 194 in 2021 to 229 in 2026, while places went from 239 to 255.
30% of applications came from families living in another council area.
