WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT TONBRIDGE
Tonbridge is the heavyweight boxing champion who doesn’t need the shiny gold belt – they just train hard and let their actions do the talking... Rarely does a review overflow with so many superlatives but Tonbridge deserves every single one. Suffice to say, this is one heck of a school.
The quality of the pupils' academic and other achievements is excellent... The quality of the pupils' personal development is excellent... Pupils have a strong self-awareness and a sense of their place in the school, local community and in the wider world.
Tonbridge is a brilliant school: that somehow remains totally unsnobby. Boys make the most of world class opportunities to learn and have fun, but that’s not the best bit – Tonbridge’s modern, proactive approach to social responsibility and bursary funding ensures that they stay firmly grounded whilst doing so
Tonbridge is that rare creature: a thriving, top-of-its-game, all-boys boarding and day school that somehow manages to fly under the radar. Fiercely academic without the heat of London, Tonbridge suits the driven, hardworking but - crucially - normal boys. Understated yet excelling across the board, this is one of our favourite schools in the country.
Academically astounding yet emotionally intelligent, with altruism running through its core.
These rounded, engaging young men are destined to go far, we feel – but without a scrap of the entitlement that so often accompanies a top-notch education. Top marks to all involved.
