‘TOP TEN’ RANKING FOR TONBRIDGE SCHOOL IN NEW NATIONAL GUIDE TO BEST SCHOOLS

Tonbridge has been named as among the best schools in the country in a new set of league tables published by the Sunday Times.

The latest edition of the prestigious ‘Parent Power’ Schools Guide identifies the UK’s leading schools, based on exam performance at A-level and GCSE last summer.

Tonbridge rose to eighth in the national table for independent senior schools, and was also placed third in the regional table, which compared schools across the southeast.

Additional Sunday Times tables placed Tonbridge ninth in the UK, based on its A-level results for 2022, and sixth nationally based on its GCSE results.

James Priory, the School’s Headmaster, said: “This excellent news reflects the quality of education and high level of continuity we were able to provide, academically and pastorally, throughout the pandemic. It is also exciting to consider the positive impact made through our innovative Sixth Form Curriculum, for which we saw our first examination results last summer.

“Above all, however, we know that boys at Tonbridge benefit from a wide range of experiences and co-curricular opportunities, all contributing to an outstanding, rounded education that extends well beyond the classroom and, indeed, beyond the measurement of any league table.”

Editor of The Sunday Times Parent Power Guide, Helen Davies, added: “League tables are not the only criteria a parent can use when choosing a school, but they are a good starting point. We want to celebrate excellence and champion schools that are doing wonderful work.”
