Our Universities & Careers Department helps pupils gain the confidence, skills and experience to achieve their academic and professional ambitions.

We pride ourselves on personalised advice and support for each pupil throughout their five years at Tonbridge. From beginning to understand their interests and aspirations in the Novi, to supporting Sixth Form boys as they explore university options and complete their applications, our ambition is, always, to help each boy achieve the right outcome for them.

Our careers provision is guided by the ‘Gatsby’ benchmarks to ensure best practice. We have a strong team of specialist, full-time staff within Universities and Careers, with each academic department also providing subject-specific support for university applications.

Working with students who have exceptionally high aspirations for their futures is incredibly inspiring and exciting, and it is a privilege to be able to support the boys through the next chapter in their life. I can honestly say that it is a real pleasure to work with them all: see them all thrive and then go on to do amazing things.

Ruth Davis, Head of Universities & Careers

Phenomenal careers department provides guidance using psychometric testing to suggest suitable routes for the boys and helping with work experience - really empowering for the boys.

Good relationships with European and American universities and provide on-site training for SAT exams. World class university destinations matter to us - they're a sign of intellectual health, says the Head.
