Tiffin School is active in all the main sports, however the school does not operate a competitive football team. It has facilities for rugby, football and cricket at a large area of ground near Hampton Court, known as Grist's (named after a former headmaster). Tiffin School Boat Club is based at the boathouse, which is shared with Kingston Rowing Club along the Thames at Canbury Gardens. The school is particularly strong in rugby, cricket, basket ball and rowing.
The school has a sports hall, which is open to the public after normal school hours.
