Admissions > Visits To Tonbridge
Prospective parents and their sons are warmly invited to visit the school, and the Admissions Secretary will be glad to make an appointment. Visiting parents usually spend about two hours at the school: they talk with the Headmaster for half an hour or so, and are taken on a tour of the school by a boy in the Lower Sixth Form, who will also show them his own boarding or day House.

Each year all those who will be Common Entrance or Scholarship candidates in the summer are invited to spend two days at the school in March, just after the end of the Tonbridge Lent Term, and those who will be boarders spend the night in a boarding House (usually the House which they hope to join in September). This "Novi Visit" ("Novi" is the Tonbridge term for new boys or boys in their first year) involves a full and varied programme designed to give the boys some familiarity with the school and the range of facilities and activities which will be available to them. They meet their future Housemaster and many other members of the teaching staff, and of course they get to know the boys who will be their colleagues when they join the school. It is a happy occasion, greatly enjoyed both by the boys and by the staff, and it contributes to the ease with which the boys settle in September.
