A Message From The Chairman of Governors 2014 has been another excellent year for Tonbridge

The school is full, with the number of boys attending as high as it has ever been in Tonbridge’s long history. Demand for the future, both for boarding and day boy places, is very high.

Tempting though it may be, we have no plans to increase numbers at the School. To do so would be likely to dilute the experience for the boys at the School and stretch some of the facilities beyond comfort.

We remain committed to providing the best range of facilities taking into account what is sensibly affordable.

Some of our projects are very generously supported by parents and old boys. Their donations, along with the crucial support of the Judd Foundation, have allowed the school to embark on its most extensive development programme since the Victorian era. We have already celebrated the opening of the second rackets court, Old Big School Gallery, the Chadwick Building, new gym facilities and tennis courts.

We have upgraded the boarding and day boy houses and opened extra classrooms. In 2015-16 we hope to add to these developments with the extension and refurbishment of the Smythe Library – you can find more information about the project later in this report.

There are plans for further development including a very exciting addition to the Science Building.

Our House Foundation Awards give two boys a year who would benefit from a Tonbridge education, but could not begin to do so without significant financial support, the opportunity to attend the school. We continue to offer other boys of promise access to the world-class learning environment that Tonbridge provides through scholarships and bursaries. In the past year, 68 boys received means tested support, the large majority for 70% or more of the fees. Scholarship awards and other remissions helped another 163 boys.

During my time as Chairman I have tried to make the Governors and their role more visible and understood within the School. I dislike the idea that the only communication that most parents receive from the Chairman is a letter in May announcing next year’s fees.

I am therefore particularly pleased that this report also provides me with the opportunity to thank the many people who have so generously supported the School by way of donations and to thank all those who work at the school, whether members of the senior team, teaching or support staff, for helping make Tonbridge one of the leading schools in the country.

Jonathan Cohen QC, Chairman of Governors

A Message From The Headmaster Welcome to Tonbridge School’s annual report

This annual report has been created to draw together details about our donations, finances and developments over the past year. I very much hope it will also provide an interesting overview of the school and its direction in the future.

The report offers transparency. Firstly to explain to our donors how their money is spent, but furthermore to show how we provide an education of breadth and depth to Tonbridge boys through careful planning. As a charity, we also seek to demonstrate how we provide a benefit to the wider community.

Old Big School Gallery is perhaps the most obvious recent example of our commitment to providing the best environment for our boys and staff. Previously underused, the space is now a platform for boys to display their own work, as well as examine pieces by professional artists in the heart of the school. Other exciting developments include the new Chadwick Building and our proposals to expand and improve the Smythe Library.

We are conscious of our place in the wider community and our mutually beneficial relationship with the Marsh Academy is examined in more detail within these pages. Boys and staff continue to give their time freely and enthusiastically through Tonbridge Community Action and our extraordinary facilities are used by hundreds of people each week, including local primary school children, clubs and charities.

Our academic record is among the best in the country, indeed we recently celebrated record GSCE results.

However, Tonbridge is about far more than exam grades, as important as they undoubtedly are. We want to offer Tonbridge boys opportunities that are not always available elsewhere. As such, we view our co-curricular programme as hugely important – plenty of time is given over to music, art, drama, sport and outreach work during the school week. The goal is to produce well-rounded boys who are socially responsible. A Tonbridge education gives a boy confidence, but not, I hope, an arrogance. Empathy for the needs of others and the ability to be comfortable with the wider world are perhaps the only ‘typical’ traits of a Tonbridge boy, as they move into varied careers and develop a wide range of interests.

Their time at Tonbridge shapes our students in valuable ways, but they are by no means ‘out of touch’ with the world around them. This is demonstrated by some of the case studies you can find within this report.

It was quite by coincidence that two of the young men interviewed attended the same house at the same time – but we decided to still feature both as an example of the very different but no less rewarding paths taken

by Old Tonbridgians. Tellingly, both cite the access to opportunities and the school’s refusal to ‘label’ boys as key to their development and success.

We can look back on the past year with great satisfaction, but as our gaze turns to the future, we will work to ensure the school evolves to take advantage of changing times whilst remaining respectful of its rich history.

Recent Projects Giving our boys and staff the very best facilities in which to flourish Tonbridge already possesses extraordinary, world-class facilities, but we are forward looking and must reflect the changing world outside our school gates if we are to prepare boys for it.

As such, Tonbridge is taking on its biggest development programme since the 19th Century to deliver a school equipped for the century ahead. The flagship development of the past year was the Old Big School Gallery. The little-used space has been converted into a modern centre for exhibitions, performances and collections from the boys and the wider arts community.

Its first exhibition, ‘In the Flesh’ examined and displayed work by world renowned artists including: Tracey Emin, Antony Gormley and Henry Moore. The development of Old Big School is examined in more detail within the ‘Development’ pages of this annual report.

The summer of 2014 has seen the completion of the new Chadwick Building, named after distinguished Old Tonbridigian and theologian Owen Chadwick.

The scheme has seen the creation of a two-storey, four classroom building for the Divinity department and has cost approximately £1.2m. Building work commenced in November 2013. For the 2014/15 school year, some English teachers will move into the building while work is being carried out to their own classrooms, with the entire Divinity department moving in for September 2015.

Tonbridge School Centre (TSC) has benefited from a series of improvements. Already one of the finest school sports facilities in the country and an Olympic standard training venue, the building now offers a greater range of facilities for boys and customers with three competition standard tennis courts. This floodlit facility will allow boys to play on dedicated courts and they will also be used by local clubs and members of the public.

The gym has been extended over two floors and is filled with the latest equipment for boys and TSC members. Additionally, the school has been given planning permission for a 200 bay car park for use by staff, visitors and TSC members. This project will start in January 2015 with completion expected in summer 2015. The total cost of work to the school’s sporting facilities is over £2m, with generous support provided by the Judd Foundation.

Work has continued on Ferox Hall over the summer.

The much-loved house was in need of renewal and the programme of works has seen the old tutor’s flat converted into additional rooms for boys with further refurbishments taking place throughout the building.

Future Developments Driving the mission of Excellence for All With the Divinity department moving to the Chadwick Building, space now exists to extend and improve the Smythe Library, which houses some 23,000 volumes with the oldest book dating back to the 1400s.

We want to combine the best aspects of a traditional library with the opportunities offered by changing technology and teaching methodologies. The aim is to create a ‘resource rich’ space where books and technology are used to give the boys an inspirational building in which to learn.

The building will feature a technology enabled ground floor, more places for quiet study, space to research and view the extensive school archives, a welcoming entrance area and meeting spaces. Architects were appointed in June. Construction is due to finish in 2016.

The library will offer a variety of flexible and adaptable teaching and learning environments, and bring together in one home the services which our learners need to thrive, including IT support, Learning Support, and the Universities and Careers service.

Dry Hill House, the home of the English department, will benefit from a four classroom extension due for completion in summer 2015.

We aim to provide a space in which private study and independent learning can take place alongside collaborative working, and in which pupil-centred learning will occur to complement much of the more traditional teacher-led learning in the classroom.

The school is in the planning stages of perhaps the most ambitious project within the development programme – a new science facility which will transform the boys’ experience of science, reflecting the rapid changes in the subject since our current science facilities were built around 100 years ago. More details on this exciting project will be released in due course through our development team. The earliest start date for the new science centre is July 2016.

Longer term, the school would like to increase capacity in the Cawthorne Lecture Theatre from just over 100 seats to 160. The seating could be ‘folded up’ to allow the building to be used flexibly. The school will also continue its rolling refurbishment programme to boarding and day houses.

The Excellence for All development campaign Enriching lives thanks to your generosity

Tonbridge has a reputation for the quality and breadth of education that we offer the boys, setting them up for the rest of their lives. It is our role to give them the best possible knowledge tools and understanding in a stimulating and inspirational environment.

We have a long-term school strategy which sets out our vision and aims for the future and the Excellence for All campaign plays an important role in enabling us to deliver it.

The campaign covers three areas: 1. Creating a world-class educational environment 2. W idening access and opportunity (with a major emphasis on our House Foundation Award bursaries) 3. Developing a broader and deeper curriculum An important ambition for the campaign is a determination to provide a sustainable income platform to support the school as it delivers this programme and we want to encourage regular giving, as well as individual gifts, throughout the life of the campaign. It is also important to stress that the campaign covers all our major plans and that alongside the building projects runs our vision and commitment to offer a further 24 boys a House Foundation Award 100% bursary place over the next 5 years.

Although it is early days, we are delighted to report that, thanks to the generous support of Old Tonbridgians, parents and the House Foundation Award Committees, in 2013-14 we have already raised and had pledged over £1m to the campaign. We are deeply grateful to all our supporters this year and we acknowledge their support later in this report.

Old Big School Creating a world-class educational environment

The School has a rich history of artistic achievements and this transformation of the school’s historical heart celebrates our creativity and reputation that inspires both our pupils and the wider community.

Thanks to your generosity £200,000 was raised by parents, friends and OTs to complete the transformation of this little-used space into a modern cultural centre and art gallery. Built in 1864, the heritage and character of the Old Big School has been preserved whilst bringing its use up to date and ensuring it remains at the heart of school life. It will be used for exhibitions, performances and collections from the students and the wider arts community.

The first exhibition ‘In the Flesh’ was an exploration of the body from a range of different perspectives including the arts, science and theology. It featured paintings, sculpture, print and photography by well-known and emerging artists. These included Henry Moore, Tracey Emin, Cornelia Parker, Sidney Nolan, Antony Gormley and Chris Ofili together with recent art school graduates, staff and students.

‘In the Flesh is a stimulating trans historical multimedia show looking at the body, good bad and ugly’ Andrew Graham Dixon, Art Critic

Tonbridge School Annual Report 14

Annual Report v23AW9.indd 9

This centre is importantly open to the public, allowing the school to support and nurture the arts on our doorstep and to share this new space with charities, schools, groups and individuals from our local area. There are 25 volunteers from the local community who are invigilating the space, providing information about the exhibits to visitors and ensuring the safety of the artworks.

Our pupils benefit from the opportunity to become involved in external art projects and, through your generosity, we are able to inspire our boys and the wider community further enhancing our reputation for artistic excellence.

‘This project is completely unique and in itself proves why Tonbridge is so special and exciting.

Accessible, fun, loud, different, this space is everything modern culture should be.

I know of nothing like it outside of London, and it makes a massive statement of how Tonbridge has changed and continues to do so.’

House Foundation Awards Widening access and opportunity

As an independent school we strive to reach out and provide a first class education to promising and talented pupils.

Thanks to the vision and support of over seven hundred OTs, parents, staff and friends of the school, Tonbridge has been enriched by the diversity, exceptional talent and enthusiasm which our foundationers bring to the school.

We are also extremely grateful to the individual House Foundation Award Committees (HFAC) who have been instrumental in overseeing the fundraising initiatives, hosting events and encouraging others to get involved.

The involvement and support from Old Tonbridgians as members of the HFACs has been vital in raising over £1.7m over the last 8 years.

We have in recent times evolved the way OTs and parents can engage with their House Foundation Award (HFA) programme, putting less pressure on the HFAC to set up fundraising events and generate the majority of income by holding more House-wide fundraising events at the School.

Loyalty to one’s House remains as important and as motivating as ever for OTs and current Tonbridgians alike (and for many parents), and being able to support the specific House Foundation Award funds continues unaffected. The involvement of OTs in the HFA programme is also as important as ever and we are currently building up a group of OT and parent HFA Ambassadors that represent their respective Houses and will provide oversight and advice as we develop the programme with our increased ambition to offer a further 24 boys of ‘talent and promise’ a life-changing HFA over the next 5 years. If you would like to find out more about becoming a HFA Ambassador please get in touch with Murray Lindo in the Development Office.

‘I look back with great fondness to my time at Tonbridge School. It was hugely influential on the years that followed.

I was helped and inspired to gain the academic rigour and curiosity that enabled me to study at Cambridge University, and also nurtured my musical talent and enthusiasm, so that I could then go on to study at the Royal Academy of Music.

Now a professional musician, working with major orchestras in the UK and abroad, I am indebted to those who made it possible for me to study at Tonbridge School, as I still carry with me the lessons that I learnt there, nourished as I was by its spirit of excellence.’

First Rate Teaching Developing a broader and deeper curriculum

The Design, Technology & Engineering department has an outstanding reputation built on world-class facilities and first-rate teaching, both of which have received long-term support from our donors.

Thanks to your contributions we are able to advance our state-of-the-art equipment and with a generous donation from The Madeline Mabey Trust we have been able to continue funding the Engineering Advisor role, which David Faithfull took up in 2012.

David teaches from a commercial background and advises, supports and inspires pupils on ever more complex and advanced projects. His remit includes continually building on our reputation for excellence by opening up the student’s experience in one of the most exciting and diverse subjects, bringing elements from the commercial sector into the classroom.

Since your funding helped create this position, David has been building relationships and securing links with a wide range of world leading technological companies, one of whom has provided us with a fully functional, refurbished industrial robotic arm, together with a work-cell, software and training.

David has also established links with a local power systems engineer, who has spoken on two occasions at our Engineering Society, as well as arranging for a number of other industry leaders to take part in the annual Engineering Careers Evening.

Close ties with BAE Systems have been strengthened with one of the most complex projects we have ever seen, with a team of pupils taking part in the Engineering Education Scheme with their guidance.

Another aspect of this role is to link in with wider educational networks and resources. David and the department have formed the group NEAT – Nurturing Engineering at Tonbridge – in order to further inspire pupils and benefit from the national STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) programme.

With donations for new equipment and expert support staff, your help has fuelled this department allowing the centre to grow, thrive and excel.

Robotic arm It is key to provide lessons that are relevant in this constantly changing environment. The Robotic Arm, made by world-leaders FANUC in Japan is the first of its kind in any UK school.

The Robotic Arm gives pupils the opportunity to learn how to program a robotic control system and watch it perform.

The Design, Technology & Engineering department offers an invigorating, challenging and high quality technological and design based experience.

The purchase of the robotic arm has helped us to stay current and given the boys a competitive advantage in this field. It undoubtedly increases the chance of securing an offer to study engineering from leading universities by ensuring our pupils have a unique and hands-on experience of the subject.

‘We don’t just make learning more exciting: we open the door to a formidable arsenal of learning opportunities, enough to satisfy the brightest and best of our young, future technologists and designers.’

David Faithfull, Engineering Advisor

‘I believe there is a place for people to make big changes in the world, as an individual or as a group.’

Making a difference with design Dan Watson, Oakeshott House 1999-2004

Designer and Old Tonbridgian Dan Watson enjoys helping people. His ideas and creations are all about solving problems, often tackling issues on a global scale.

“I believe there is a place for people to make big changes in the world, as an individual or as a group of people,” said Dan. “I think that design is altruistic. I want to work on big ideas that will make a big difference.”

Perhaps Dan’s biggest idea came when he designed a new fishing net trawling system to cut down on the catching and subsequent discarding of juvenile and endangered fish.

What began as a project while studying Product Design Engineering at the Glasgow School of Art and Glasgow University, won him the prestigious James Dyson Global Designer Award in 2012.

SafteyNet recently received two years of project development funding, giving it an opportunity to become a reality. “It is still progressing,” said Dan. “At the moment we are working with several major fishing organisations and authorities.“ Away from his entrepreneurial interests, Dan is currently working in the space industry.

The Government has stated an aim to grow the satellite application industry with a view to the UK capturing 10 per cent of the world’s market by 2030. It led to the creation of the Satellite Applications Catapult - a new type of independent innovation and technology company, created to foster growth across the UK economy through the exploitation of space. Dan is their lead designer.

He works on hardware and software for satellites and it is an ‘exciting’ and ‘varied’ industry to work in.

He said: “By coincidence I’m working on a project that uses satellite data to identify illegal fishing activities. I have also been working on a deployment mechanism for a ‘cube sat’ – a 10cmx10cm satellite used for research work in space.”

He agrees Tonbridge inspired his career path.

Dan said: “I had some really great teachers who were very enthusiastic about what they did. The teachers did everything in their power to help you do things that were often their passion too.

“When I knew I wanted to go into the field of design, the school arranged a meeting with the lead designer at Dyson. That changed my whole way of thinking and where I was going” He says the environment at Tonbridge was key to his development and learning. “The facilities are second to none. I have been to universities where the design and technology facilities aren’t as good as at Tonbridge.”

‘A sense of being part of a team was something I was helped to learn at Tonbridge.’

Tonbridge will let you try things James Beeny, Oakeshott House 1999-2004

Musician and songwriter James Beeny is in no doubt how important being a Tonbridgian has been to his career. He vividly remembers taking to the stage in the house music competition.

“It was the first time in my life I ever performed live music – excluding a class xylophone recital when I was ten! It gave me my first real taste of performing live and it’s something I am very grateful for.”

“I didn’t tell anyone this, and this is the first time I have ever mentioned it, but I did think to myself, ‘I would love to be a cricketer who writes songs.’ Then I more or less ended up doing it.”

Since leaving Tonbridge, James has found success with his group, ‘Virgin Soldiers’. The band have achieved airplay on BBC 6 Music, performed in support of McFly and Keane, and reached number three in the Amazon Rock Chart with their single, ‘Moon Song’.

The important Tonbridge qualities of teamwork and empathy for the needs of others have proven invaluable with James working in the creative, collaborative environment of the band and with the cast of The Dreamers.

During his time at the school, James was perhaps best known as a cricketer, playing for the First XI and briefly experiencing a career as a professional. A bout of glandular fever at the age of 23 led to a change of career path and the creation of the band.

He said: “To see one of the cast members almost in tears at something I have written, because they feel that emotion for your song …it fills you with pride.

A growing reputation in the music industry has more than justified his decision. Along with his writing partner, Gina Georgio, James recently penned his first musical, ‘The Dreamers’ set in World War One – the show is destined for the West End following its run in Kent.

Despite not taking music at either GCSE or A level, James is keen to point out that a Tonbridge education encouraged a variety of other interests. He feels other schools would not have allowed him to explore different activities and would have told him to focus purely on sporting and academic pursuits.

James said: “It would have been easy just to think of me as a cricketer or an academic scholar. The thing about Tonbridge is it lets you try anything you want to do.”

“When the band play together or when the cast perform, everyone is supporting each other and giving their best.

That sense of being part of a team was something I was helped to learn at Tonbridge.

“I found with some people who went to other schools, and at times when I was playing cricket, there were these private school cliques. That left an unpleasant taste and I always felt that it wasn’t the Tonbridge way.

“With the cast of the musical, I’m the only ‘public school boy’ there. We have students, nurses …a whole range of people. But I never feel like I don’t belong or I can’t associate with them. That’s not meant to sound arrogant, and I know how lucky I am to have been educated at somewhere like Tonbridge, but I don’t feel different to them. That’s something the school was always keen to emphasise as important and it sounds like the current headmaster feels the same way.”

Following that first house music competition, James was inspired to return to the stage to perform his own music.

‘It is about aspirations, for us as a school and the Marsh Academy, and to see what opportunities are out there’ Ceri Jones, Second Master at Tonbridge

Working in Partnership Tonbridge School and the Marsh Academy

‘More than anything it has allowed us to take a different look at things and gain a different opinion. It helps us to examine the way we work and keeps us fresh.’

Tonbridge’s Second Master, Ceri Jones, is in no doubt that working with the Marsh Academy has helped enormously since the relationship between the two schools was formally created in 2006.

The Marsh Academy, in New Romney, is sponsored by Tonbridge, along with Microsoft, Kent County Council and now the Skinners’ Company as lead sponsors.

“It is a partnership though,” said Ceri. “Sponsorship is, I think, the wrong word for Tonbridge, as we have also gained from it.”

Ceri provided direct support to the Academy with a secondment as Acting Principal in 2013, before coming back to Tonbridge when current Principal Shaun Simmons was appointed.

Previously a failing comprehensive school, the Marsh has seen steady improvement as an Academy. It now offers a strong education to young people, some of them from the most deprived areas in Kent, and is ranked as ‘good’ by OFSTED. Shaun said: “It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Tonbridge has played an important part in taking us from a school that was failing to a successful Academy that is ready to take the next step. Clearly it is not the only thing, and the staff here play the most important role, but it is undeniable that before Tonbridge became involved this school was failing and now it is not.”

Tonbridge teachers spend time at the Marsh Academy, with staff and pupils from the Marsh visiting Tonbridge to make use of its world-class facilities. Teachers from the Marsh also benefit from the professional development opportunities that Tonbridge offers.

One of the main aims of the partnership has been to target the C/D threshold at GSCE and get more Marsh students into the ‘C and above’ grades. Tonbridge has also assisted in stretching the ‘top end’ pupils at the Academy.

However, the relationship is very clearly two-way, with Tonbridge benefitting from the partnership.

Tonbridge School Annual Report 14

Annual Report v23AW9.indd 17

Ceri said: “We don’t have all the answers and shouldn’t assume that we do. In areas such as anti-bullying, for example, they (The Marsh) have shown us different ways of doing things. Teachers visiting the Marsh for their own professional development have gained greatly.

The collaborative nature of this partnership should not be underestimated.”

The boys also receive a tangible benefit. Recent graduates from Tonbridge take part in a gap-year placement scheme, where two boys are selected to spend a year working in the Academy.

“It is about having an opportunity to work in an exciting environment and learn something about themselves.

It allows them to see what is possible through education, but also allows them to develop as individuals,” added Ceri.

Tonbridge’s first gap-year students set up a travel-fund to allow less well-off families to send their children on school trips and expeditions. It is still in existence and has raised many thousands of pounds through fundraising.

The partnership is now looking to build on its success.

A possible development is the use of a shared ‘virtual learning’ environment, where students and teachers can share resources online and pupils are potentially able to view classes over the internet.

“For example, we might only have two or three students here who want to take physics at A level,” said Shaun.

“It is a small number, but we feel it is right to offer it to them nonetheless. It would be wonderful if they could watch and be part of a class at Tonbridge over the internet. Then Tonbridge staff could come here or the students could go to them every so often to reaffirm that learning.”

Ceri added: “The partnership has worked well and we are now looking to take the next step and see what is possible going forward. Really it is about aspirations, for us as a school and the Marsh Academy, and to see what opportunities are out there as a result of this relationship.”

A Message From The Bursar Key numbers for Tonbridge School

The School focuses on providing an excellent and broad education for boys in its care, not on hitting particular operational or financial targets. However, we recognise that numbers can help paint a picture of the performance of any school.

The table opposite shows key numbers for Tonbridge School, highlighting that:

From a financial perspective: • Total fee income is around £20m each year;

•T he School has been at capacity for the last four years, with about 780 boys, around 60% of whom were boarders; •O ur aim continues to be to ensure that no boy who could benefit from the education provided at the School has been prevented from doing so by his parents’ inability to pay the fees charged, so around 10% of the boys at the School received some means-tested support;

• The School forgoes approximately £2.5m of fee income every year by providing bursaries and scholarships to recognise the most able on entry, and to ensure that the School attracts and retains the boys who could benefit most from what the School has to offer, regardless of their parents’ ability to pay;

•T he interaction between the boys and our teachers continues to be at the core of our academic, co-curricular and pastoral provision, and we have kept the pupil teacher ratio almost constant over recent years (at 7.9 pupils per teacher) to help maintain the quality of this interaction;

• Our fee income (or Total Fees Receivable) does not fully cover the School’s expenditure (on staff, equipment and services); the School relies on donations (from the Judd Foundation and from individuals) and trading income (from the hire of its facilities) to generate a positive surplus (measured as Incoming Resources or Movement in Funds) each year;

• E xam results continue to be very strong with 75% of grades being A*or A at A level and over 94% being A* or A at GCSE in 2014.

• We have continued to invest in the Schools facilities and equipment, and therefore have generated only a small Net Cash Flow each year.

The Parents’ Arts Society PAS annual update

The Society arranges a number of social occasions to enable parents to meet each other and members of the Common Room in a relaxed and congenial atmosphere. We also give parents a chance to use the superb educational and cultural facilities of the School.

We organize events such as London walks, visits to art galleries, opera evenings, wine tastings, theatre trips and a formal May Ball. There are also long weekend trips to destinations such as the art galleries of Florence and, more recently, trips to Prague, Madrid, and Greece. Lectures are arranged on subjects encompassing the Sciences and Politics, as well as the Arts and Evening Classes are also a regular part of our termly programme.

The number of members continues to rise, and active family membership has reached 1,100. The majority of these are current parents, but I am delighted to say many decide to retain their membership for a considerable period after their sons have left. A few have been with us since the Society was founded over twenty years ago. A few Old Tonbridgians are now joining and we hope this is a trend which will gather momentum.

From 2009, we have been making application forms for events available on the school website. The website also provides regular updates about which events are fully booked, and there is a copy of the programme, together with the contact details of the committee.

The ‘first come, first served’ principle has resulted in an uneven distribution of tickets and, in an effort to achieve a fairer allocation, PASTA has been introduced (PAS Ticket Allocation). Chris Scott has pioneered this system which balances supply and demand in the most equitable manner for the benefit of the entire membership and ensures that everyone who applies receives a place on at least one event per term.

There is a lot of goodwill and public relations benefit which is provided by the Society. In addition, the Society provides support to the School community in the following ways: • All members of the Common Room have ‘honorary membership’ of the Society. They can come to any of the lectures, enjoy the wine and eats beforehand, and they are eligible for evening classes, visits and trips. All this is paid for out of membership income provided by parents.

• Boys are encouraged to attend the talks particularly when they tie in with their academic studies. The boys are, of course, very welcome to come with their parents.

• Honorary membership also extends to all the staff at Tonbridge. The Committee is keen to offer the programme to the whole of the School community, not just the Common Room, and I know this is appreciated.

• We are very pleased that the Society is able to help the work of the School Development Office by keeping in contact with parents and generating goodwill.

• The Headmasters of our local preparatory Schools are also honorary members of the Society.

The huge range and number of activities would not be possible without the unfailing support and hard work of the Parents’ Arts Society committee. I would like to pay tribute to the enormous amount they have done on behalf of us all.

Recognising Your Support John Coldman, Chairman of the Development Group

Having been Chairman of the Tonbridge Foundation Board from 2004 to 2009, I was surprised and delighted to be asked last year to chair it in its new form, the Tonbridge Development Group.

Having lead the team that helped to raise the funds to build the Tonbridge Sports Centre, I relished the opportunity to be involved in future projects. For most of the last 10 years, I was also a Governor and a parent , so Tonbridge School has a particular significance for me.

All of us involved in the development of the School know that the quality of the teaching staff is key to its success.

And it is their ability to inspire and encourage students to realise their potential, both in and out of the classroom, that is so vitally important.

Any new building project that the School undertakes has to have as its starting point the School’s educational vision.

Tonbridge has a long history of being a pioneer and visionary in education; when it built the current science facilities in 1887, it was one of the very first schools in the country to teach the sciences in a purpose built environment. Just as then, Tonbridge recognises that buildings and equipment must be of the highest quality and fit for purpose today if they are to enrich the learning experience of the boys and enhance the educational ambition of the school.

During the last 18 months, the Headmaster, Governors, Senior Team and academic staff have been working hard to define what needs to be put in place to ensure that Tonbridge continues to provide a world-class teaching and learning experience in a world-class environment.

The plans are ambitious and we are calling the campaign to deliver the vision ‘Excellence for All’: excellence for all at the School and beyond.

Phase One of the campaign will see a complete transformation of the current building in which the Smythe Library and Divinity Department are housed.

The new building will become a complete Learning Centre for the boys where they can get careers advice and advice for their studies, work in collaborative learning spaces and continue to have access to our 20,000 books, some of which are over 400 years old. We aim to start the transformation in July 2015 and complete it by September 2016.

The theme of collaboration runs through our emerging plans for a new science hub. We want to increase our ability to develop strategic partnerships with universities and the commercial sector so that we can complement our academic knowledge of the sciences with even more real-world application. We have a very strong track record in the sciences and want to build on this. If we are to do so, we will need additional facilities to support our ambition. If we are successful with our fundraising and planning process, we aim to start work on a new hub in summer 2016 and start using it by September 2017.

Like any organisation, we are always looking to see how we can improve while making sure that we never lose sight of what we’re good at and what we value. The plans we have for the next chapter of the School’s development are exciting and ambitious and we very much hope that both parents and Old Tonbridgians will want to be part of them.

On behalf of the School, I would like to express our gratitude to all Old Tonbridgians and parents, past and present, for all they have done and continue to do to support the School. Their valuable support is key to the School’s future ability to thrive.

John Coldman, Chairman of the Development Group
