Use our free interactive tool to check whether any property in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames falls within primary or secondary school catchment zones. Kingston combines popular community schools with selective grammar schools, so understanding both catchment and 11+ entry is essential.
Free interactive map — enter any Kingston, Surbiton, New Malden or Chessington postcode and see exactly which catchment areas it falls within.
Kingston operates a partially selective system. Tiffin School and Tiffin Girls' School are grammar schools — entry is by 11+, not distance. Community and academy secondaries still use distance-based catchments. Plan for both routes when choosing a property.
