Crystal Award recognises Tonbridge success

Web-based advisory company Best-Schools.co.uk has awarded a prestigious Crystal Award to Tonbridge School.

Tonbridge has been named as a ‘Top 5 Boys’ Boarding School by A-level’, in recognition of the school’s excellent results in 2018. 

The award, engraved with the school’s academic achievements, was presented to Tonbridge’s Headmaster, James Priory, by Mary Murayama. Mary is Joint Managing Director of Education Advisers Ltd, the company which runs the Best Schools website, and which produces annual league tables of the UK’s top independent schools.

Mr Priory said: “I am delighted to be presented with this latest award. My own congratulations must go to the boys, as well as to their parents and all our dedicated staff, for putting in so much hard work and achieving these outstanding results.”

Mary Murayama added: “The award recognises the outstanding achievement of pupils in their A-level exams, and confirms Tonbridge’s position among the country’s very best schools.” 

More than two-thirds of all Tonbridge boys’ grades at A-level in 2018 were A* or A, or their Pre-U equivalent. The ‘average’ set of results for a Tonbridge student was A*AA.
