Excellence, Community, Achievement

Tonbridge is among the leading boys’ boarding and day schools in the UK and is highly respected for providing a world-class education. One of Tonbridge’s key strengths is that it successfully blends tradition and innovation, with high-achieving boys wearing their gifts lightly. The School is renowned for excellent teaching and for academic achievement. Each year exam results at GCSE and A-level are outstanding, with boys progressing to leading universities including Oxford, Cambridge and Russell Group institutions, the large majority securing their first-choice destination. Tonbridge leavers also gain places (and scholarships) at top institutions in the US and worldwide. In the Sunday Times ‘Parent Power’ league table (December 2022), Tonbridge was the 8th highest ranking independent school in the country, and the top boys’ boarding school. Pastoral care is based around an outstanding House system, and the School ensures that each pupil feels fully at home and well supported. There is a vibrant programme of Co-Curricular activities. Tonbridge manages to do ‘sporting excellence’ and ‘mass participation’ equally well: teaching staff play a significant role in the delivery of sport, as do professional coaches. Tonbridge offers 20 sports and as well as all the expected ones there are regular matches in rackets, badminton, fives, squash, climbing and ultimate frisbee.

Message from School

“Tonbridge encourages its students to make connections – connections between academic subjects, between different sports and activities, between people, between cultures: with the aim of producing fine minds and good hearts. The School’s ethos is summed up in just two words: ‘Only Connect’.”
