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

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.

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.
