Year 9 (Novi)
The design of our curriculum is integral to the boys’ experience, our aim being to maximise learning, equipping them with the knowledge, skills and aptitudes they need while sustaining their personal development and enjoyment.
From Curiosity to Discovery booklet
GCSE
This booklet sets out various general points that are common to all subjects, and then gives short descriptions of the courses followed in each subject at Tonbridge.
From Choices to Decisions booklet
A-Level
The Sixth Form is an exciting and important stage in an educational career. More than at any other time before, boys have the opportunity to pursue the subjects and ideas which interest them the most, personalising their own curriculum through the choices that they make.
From Pathway to Performance booklet
Additional Lower Sixth and Upper Sixth courses
In addition to A-Levels, we offer several supplementary courses. Further information can be found in the Sixth Form Curriculum Guide (namely ‘From Pathway to Performance.’)
Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)
The EPQ is an independent research project that serves as an opportunity for boys to demonstrate their intellectual curiosity, providing the freedom to do a piece of work on a subject area of their choosing. Many topics can be explored, including climate change, stem cell research, cloning, religion, science and ethics, to name just a few.
Additional languages qualifications
Additional languages qualifications can be taken in French, German or Spanish. They offer an ideal way for boys to keep their language skills going beyond IGCSE, and to obtain a valuable, lifelong qualification in the process.
AS mathematics
This is offered for those taking three subjects who want to continue with some form of maths in their Sixth Form programme, without taking the full A Level. AS maths can prove highly advantageous for boys’ future degree courses and choice of careers
Life Skills
The Life Skills course is designed to prepare boys for life after Tonbridge. The course will give an introduction to five topics: cookery; first aid and how to keep safe; personal finance; interview techniques; and global perspectives. The latter looks at major world issues and ensures that Tonbridge boys have an informed view.
