Following another year of outstanding A Level and GCSE results, Tonbridge has been recognised as one of the UK’s leading schools in two Independent Schools League Tables published by Best Schools.

“They have made a significant contribution to our School community, both in and out of the classroom, and we look forward to seeing them make a positive impact on the wider world as a consequence of all that they have experienced during their time at Tonbridge.”

Continuing its strong tradition of academic excellence, Tonbridge has been ranked among the top five UK Independent Boys’ Schools for A Level outcomes, with an impressive 92% of grades achieved at 9-7.
