Year 9 (13+) Entry: The main entry point to Tonbridge is in Year 9 when around 150 boys join the school, of which approximately 85 are boarders and 65 are day boys. Boys entering at this stage are usually aged between 13.0 and 13.11 on 1st September of the year of entry. These age-limits are not inflexible, and slightly younger or older candidates may be accepted at the Headmaster’s discretion. Most applications for Year 9 entry are made when boys are in between Year 5 and Year 6, but arrangements are sufficiently flexible to consider those who apply later. Whilst most boys will join from a UK preparatory school, they welcome applications from primary schools or from overseas. For more information CLICK HERE.
Year 10 (14+) Entry: A small number of boys join Tonbridge in Year 10. Boys entering at this stage are usually aged between 14.0 and 14.11 on 1st September of the year of entry. These age-limits are not inflexible, and slightly younger or older candidates may be accepted at the Headmaster’s discretion. For 2022 entry, applications are now closed. For 2023 entry only - they are accepting applications from boys who will be applying for a music scholarship. All applicants must submit two YouTube clips of them playing their selected instrument(s) to Veryan Larmour ([email protected]) before commencing any application. For more information CLICK HERE.
Sixth Form (16+) Entry: Each year up to 25 boys join Tonbridge in the Sixth Form, aiming to benefit from the structure and space they allow for boys to develop and pursue their own academic interests and subject specialisms. They believe that specialisation in three or four A level subjects provides the most effective route for our boys into the top universities; on average, around 30 boys make successful applications to Oxford and Cambridge. They also have an excellent relationship with American and European Universities and provide on site training for SAT exams. For more information CLICK HERE.
