Tonbridge Society Impact Report 2018

Welcome to the first edition of the Tonbridge School Impact Report.

And a warm welcome to James Priory, our Headmaster from September, and his family.

In the short period since 2014, the school’s Annual Report has become a much enjoyed and appreciated window into the life at Tonbridge and its wider community. Though always interesting, we felt that inevitably it suffered the fate of any publication with such a dry title, and this year are giving it a facelift and the new title of Impact Report.

01 | 02

Welcome

This report still addresses the management and finances at the school, but now in a lighter and more approachable manner, and it celebrates the vitally important contribution our donors and supporters make to the life of the school.

for the school; whether that is providing careers advice to the boys and OTs, delivering inspirational talks, or donating to one of our widening access programmes or development of our facilities. We are very grateful for all that you do and the wide variety of ways that you do it.

At Tonbridge, we are very fortunate to have an incredibly supportive group of Old Tonbridgians, parents and friends, who do an enormous amount

I hope you enjoy reading about the recent achievements of the Tonbridge School community and the impact that your support is having. Being

able to call on your skills, talents and passions has always been key to the continued success of Tonbridge and I very much look forward to working with you all during what will be an exciting new chapter under James Priory’s leadership.

With many thanks and warmest wishes, Andy Whittall Director of the Tonbridge Society

Tonbridge Society Impact Report 2018

AfromMESSAGE the Chair of Governors

It is always pleasing to be able to report what fine shape our school is in. Numbers are buoyant, with 788 boys, and our academic performance is excellent.

Tonbridge boys continue to shine in many different areas, winning prizes in national competitions, excelling in sport, impressing in drama, music and the arts. We are looking to the future too: our new Barton Science Centre has some of the best school facilities in the country and will, we hope, inspire boys even further in their studies.

But that is only part of the Tonbridge story. One of our key aims as a school is that the outstanding education we offer is not limited simply to those who can afford it, but is accessible to talented and able boys, regardless of financial constraints or family circumstances.

Widening access is a key component of our educational philosophy, and is part of the school’s history. We have a proud tradition of helping many boys achieve their full potential by joining us here at Tonbridge, and today this ambition burns more brightly than ever.

Headmaster James Priory was himself the beneficiary of an assisted place, which helped launch his career, and James shares my view that this type of financial support can prove to be life-changing for those who directly benefit.

03 | 04

During my time as a parent at Tonbridge, and now as Chair of Governors, I have seen at first-hand just how far-reaching the advantages of a Tonbridge education can be. Those who have received assistance with paying school fees, in the form of Foundation or other awards, will describe what it means to them on other pages in this report. I do hope you enjoy reading their stories.

I firmly believe that the school benefits just as much from our philanthropic ethos as do individual recipients. We have boys joining us from a variety of social backgrounds, enriching our school community by making it ever more dynamic and diverse. By giving bright, gifted boys opportunities to join Tonbridge, we are also raising academic standards for all, and preparing boys for their next steps into higher education and, ultimately, the wider world. Looking at the national picture, making a first-class education accessible to more young people is critical to the success of the economy and our country, too.

The Headmaster’s vision is that the school will significantly increase the numbers of awards we can offer as we progress through the next ten years,

A message from the Chair of Governors

By giving bright, gifted boys opportunities to join Tonbridge, we are also raising academic standards for all, and preparing boys for their next steps into higher education and, ultimately, the wider world...

leading up to our 475th anniversary in 2028. In the near future, James will be giving more details about this strategic aim, outlining how we can build on the success of the House Foundation Awards and other bursary programmes at the school.

I am fully aware that the success of our widening access programmes would simply not have happened without the huge generosity and vital support of our network of Old Tonbridgians, parents, friends and supporters, as detailed in this report. It is to all of you that I offer my deepest thanks: by providing opportunities for boys, you are helping Tonbridge to continue to thrive.

I must include here an apology and acknowledge that our communications, especially regarding the Foundation Awards programme, and the scheme to support specific houses, have not always been as forthcoming or frequent as they could have been.

Please rest assured that we aim to learn from, and improve, on this.

To come back to where I started, there is much to celebrate in our thriving school. Many lives have been transformed, including all boys who are currently receiving financial assistance, including Foundation Awards, from the school. Detailed elsewhere in the report are highlights of our outreach work, something which also has great value beyond our school walls. The

huge programme of boys’ volunteering activities, and the good use made of our facilities by the wider community, are impressive features of school life and play a key part in our boys’ development, nurturing a greater awareness of the views and needs of other people.

Whatever else we may achieve, this side of Tonbridge School – our commitment to social responsibility, the opportunities we provide, and our sharing of what we have – makes us distinctive, and fills me with a great sense of pride in the school and all it stands for.

With best wishes, Robert Elliott Chair of Governors

HEADMASTER’S MESSAGE

It is extremely exciting to have joined Tonbridge this term and to find myself at the heart of such a thriving school community.

05 | 06

Over the course of the last twelve months, I have worked closely with Tim Haynes in order to understand the developments taking place within the school and to begin to get to know the people who help make Tonbridge the extraordinary place that it is.

It was immediately apparent that Tim had a deep affection for the school.

Thanks to his leadership, and with the support of so many people who also share a connection with and passion for the school, the Excellence for All campaign has created outstanding facilities and educational opportunities.

From the Tonbridge School Centre for sport, to the Smythe Library for academic research and study, to the forthcoming opening of the new Barton Science Centre for STEM discovery; we are fortunate to have inspirational spaces in which to live and learn as a school.

It has been a privilege therefore to join the school at such an exciting time and fascinating to experience Tonbridge for myself now that the 2018-19 academic year is underway. I have shadowed Novi classes and learned with the boys how to measure population change in Geography, investigated how to separate mixtures and make solutions in Chemistry, and practised how to pronounce the German alphabet as an absolute beginner. I have listened to Lower Sixth boys quizzing a visiting politics lecturer on the complexities of Brexit and joined Second Year boys for an introduction to mindfulness, reflecting on sources as disparate as William James and Kung Fu Panda!

Outside of the classroom and laboratory, I have watched the boys stage their own, thought-provoking productions of Art and The Birthday

Headmaster’s Message

Party in the E M Forster Theatre studio.

I have listened to pupil-led debate about History and Philosophy under the auspices of Athena Society in Skinners’ Library. I have been guided through exhibitions of their work by A Level artists in the Tunnel Gallery, and been moved by some extraordinary solo and ensemble performances in the Music School and Chapel.

I have also seen our boys in action within the wider community, whether enthusing visiting primary school children with their passion for science or developing relationships through a shared love of football with young refugees and asylum seekers. And such is the incredible number of sports teams representing the school on a Saturday afternoon, thank goodness I listened to Tim Haynes’ advice and bought myself a bike when I moved to Tonbridge!

Very early in the term we received a visit from a team of ISI inspectors. I am pleased to report that they found the school to be satisfactorily compliant with all regulations.

Of significance to me as a new Head, however, were the inspectors’ more personal comments about their experience of Tonbridge. “This is a deeply caring community,” observed the lead inspector as he reflected on the quality of relationships and culture of pastoral support embedded within the school.

It is an aspect of Tonbridge which is hard to describe until you have yourself become part of the community, and it is created in large part by our outstanding House system we are fortunate enough to enjoy as a school with a strong boarding ethos.

One of my greatest pleasures this term has been sharing lunch with the boys in their Houses and experiencing the camaraderie that exists between the boys and their friends, but also with their teachers, tutors, matrons and, indeed, all those who provide support to help make school like home, such as the nurses, cooks, cleaners and porters. There is a profound sense of family at Tonbridge.

As I am discovering, this is also a school with an extraordinary history and heritage.

Just outside the Head’s study is a doorway which frames two stained glass windows depicting in vivid colour Tonbridge’s crest alongside that of the Skinners’ Company.

It is a daily reminder of the relationship between the two organisations and of our foundation by Sir Andrew Judde in 1553.

As well as getting to know boys at the very beginning of their time at Tonbridge, I have also been meeting Old Tonbridgians ready to reflect on how their experience here has influenced, often in quite unexpected ways, who and where they are and what they are now doing. These conversations have already taken me from Tonbridge to New York, from the Garden of England to the Big Apple.

In ten years’ time, in 2028, we will celebrate the 475th anniversary of Tonbridge School.

It is an important time to be asking ourselves about the values which shape the education we provide to ensure that Sir Andrew Judde’s vision will continue to be fulfilled in the future. In what ways is a Tonbridge education distinctive? How can we ensure that the opportunities on offer for personal and intellectual development today are relevant to preparing young men for lives which extend into the twenty second century?

Such questions are fundamental in thinking about how we develop our curriculum and the wider life of the school. They are also critical in understanding our responsibility to continue to widen access to all that Tonbridge offers. As someone who benefitted from an assisted place, I recognise the importance of making it possible for bright and talented boys to be able to come to Tonbridge regardless of their family’s financial circumstances. We already offer transformative opportunities through our Foundation Award programme, but with support we know that we could go even further. This charitable mission promises to be at the heart of what we challenge ourselves to achieve over the coming decade and beyond.

I feel very fortunate to have been appointed as Headmaster of Tonbridge and have relished my experience so far.

Tonbridge is a school to be very proud of, but it is also a school with significant further potential. We have an important role to play as a world-class school in contributing to how education develops in the future, and I look forward to the journey ahead.

James Priory Headmaster

Tonbridge Society Impact Report 2018

Tonbridge has a long-standing tradition of inspired teaching and academic excellence. Our academic and support staff have a deep enthusiasm for their subjects and are committed to providing high-quality teaching and developing intellectually curious young minds.

THE

IMPACT In 2018, the boys once more achieved an extremely strong set of GCSE and A Level results, during a year of changes to syllabuses and grading.

Their performance is a testimony to the commitment, dedication and hard work of both the boys and staff who support them. To achieve such academic success while also contributing so much to the wider life of the school and wider community is what pleases us the most.

Pupils from Tonbridge continue to join the most competitive of universities in the UK and internationally. 182 of our pupils were offered places at either Oxford or Cambridge in the past five years, with 100% of students who applied receiving offers from Russell Group institutions and other leading Higher Education providers. The diversity of the courses Tonbridgians go on to study is testimony to the individuality and breadth of learning Tonbridge.

600+ children

90 events

More than 600 school children from 17 local primary schools and members of local charitable organisations visited Tonbridge at our flagship event, Community Day, where they took part in a range of sporting, artistic and academic activities led by boys and staff from Tonbridge School.

Each year, the school runs an extensive Arts Programme of 90 events covering music, art, drama, dance, variety and literature, all of which are open to the public and priced to be accessible, and many of which are free.

100+ sleeping rough

21,975 hours

137 Novi boys and School staff slept rough in aid of Porchlight, a charity supporting homeless and vulnerable young people in the Kent region. The sleep out raised more than £14,500 in 2018, bringing the total we have raised for Porchlight in the last 5 years to £55,300. This will go towards securing accommodation, support and training for young people in Kent.

Boys and staff spent 21,975 hours volunteering in the community through weekly placements on a Wednesday afternoon in local primary and secondary schools, our local hospice and other institutions, or by hosting members of those communities in activities on our site, through the school’s Community Action group (TCA), Conservation work, Field Days and Community Day.

91 organisations

8 languages

The school offers a wealth of outstanding facilities, all of which are available to hire by the public but are offered at a free or concessionary basis to, on average, 91 organisations yearly, including local primary and secondary schools, charities and sports clubs.

Our work with Kent County Council’s Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children has grown and we now welcome 35-40 young men on to our site every other week, for football matches and conversation, with all boys preparing talks about their home countries, traditions and festivals. Some weeks we are joined by staff who translate into more than 8 languages during these talks.

£70K 09 | 10

The school community raised nearly £70,000 for charities in 2017/18, through: Chapel collections; the annual sleep out raising funds for Porchlight; ‘Pink Day’ for Breast Cancer Now; a fundraising weekend, including a concert, a swimathon and a cycling challenge, supporting organisations including the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, Family Spirit Child Care Centre in Uganda, The Silas Pullen Fund and The Brain Tumour Charity; rugby matches for ‘Wooden Spoon’ charity; a ‘simple lunch’ day and other events for Child Action Lanka; Darts with the Praes; and Social Entrepreneur projects.

Our impact in the community

Partnerships and outreach programme

OUR IMPACT IN THE COMMUNITY The school continues to place great emphasis on making boys aware of their responsibilities in the wider world. With a strong network of community partnerships both in the UK and overseas, the school aims to foster a lifelong empathy for the needs and views of others.

The huge programme of boys’ volunteering activities, and the good use made of our facilities by the wider community, are impressive features of school life and play a key part in our boys’ development.

Child Action Lanka Over 110 boys and 30 staff have visited Sri Lanka to support our partners Child Action Lanka (CAL) since our first trip in 2014. CAL works to assist and transform the lives of disadvantaged children in Sri Lanka and supports around 2,000 children in 12 locations on the island. Tonbridge boys coordinate a range of activities including teaching, sports coaching, and helping to build new classrooms and other facilities. Plans are already underway for a large trip in 2018/19, as well as a major fundraiser and shipment of donated equipment.

Tonbridge Society Impact Report 2018

“ As the final term drew to a close, I have sampled an abundance of new experiences which have been both exciting and interesting… our final residential took place at Tonbridge School.

It was an utterly fantastic week which was full of opportunity to cultivate and develop new skills, share information and enjoy exciting experiences.”

SPOTLIGHT: SOCIAL MOBILITY

In the Impact Report’s ‘Spotlight’ series, we take a closer look at one of the initiatives Tonbridge staff and pupils support as part of our mission to serve the wider community. In this edition, Second Master, Huw Williams explores the contribution of the Kent Academies Network to advancing the academic and career prospects of bright pupils in Kent.

11 | 12

Spotlight: KAN

Kent Academies Network Huw Williams, Second Master

There is a great deal of political pressure on independent schools to evidence and to expand activities which offer a public benefit and this pressure is appropriate, many would say, to justify independent schools’ charitable status.

series of residential courses held at Tonbridge, Sevenoaks and Cambridge University. Each pupil has a mentor who is a current undergraduate student and who builds an ongoing supportive relationship with the KAN pupil.

I would argue that, even in the absence of this pressure, these facets of an independent school’s activities must be central to its ethos and aims given the transformational effect they can have on communities and individuals. Tonbridge school has been engaged with activities which have a wider public benefit for many years: the boys’ engagement with the Tonbridge Community Action programme; the school’s support for Child Action Lanka and the formal link with the Marsh Academy being some notable examples.

The residential weeks include some inspirational keynote speakers, team building and leadership activities, which provide pupils with opportunities to strengthen their knowledge of examination subjects. They also expose pupils to a range of subjects and activities that will help them develop in other ways – activities in art, music, debating, literature, and critical thinking for example. They are taught, inspired and stretched by teachers from Tonbridge and other schools who freely offer their time to the course and, as students move into the Sixth Form they are also supported in preparing their applications to university. Our contribution extends beyond hosting the residentials and contributing in the classrooms: a variety of Tonbridge staff have been involved such as the Matron who looks after the pupils who are, in some cases, staying away from home for the first time, and colleagues who have coordinated the back-office administration for KAN.

Another scheme we’ve been heavily involved with since its inception in 2012, alongside partners such as Sevenoaks School and Benenden School, and now under the umbrella of the Accelerate and Access Foundation, is the Kent Academies Network (KAN). This programme aims to transform the academic and career prospects of bright pupils in Kent’s Academies who have the potential to apply to a top university yet may experience a need or circumstance that might otherwise hinder their progress to higher education, particularly those students who have no family background of university education. Pupils are chosen for the course through a competitive application process in Year 9 and are then supported through the next four school years via a

Perhaps the best way to understand the significance of KAN is to hear from the pupils themselves. The first cohort have just completed the four years and the majority have been successful in gaining places at university; the impact of KAN on these talented youngsters should not be underestimated.

From the participants... “ The confidence that it instilled… and the ongoing support, is so valuable to us as we progress into higher education. If I had not been on the KAN Programme, I would not be half the person I am today.” “ We have created a small second family and I have made lifelong friendships.”

“ A typical day would include new and inspirational lessons to help us become inspired and more dedicated with what we want to become in the future.” “ I feel extremely privileged to be part of this programme.”

Creating a world-class innovative teaching and learning environment

THE BARTON SCIENCE CENTRE

An inspirational hub for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths – opening January 2019 We are excited to see the final stages of the Barton Science Centre taking place and looking forward to being able to provide the much-needed space and innovative facilities to build on the exceptional foundation which Tonbridge already has in STEM subjects.

This iconic building puts Science and Technology at the heart of the school and is designed to foster curiosity, collaboration, cross-curricular thinking and innovation. The building will also have a wider public benefit, enabling us to enhance our outreach programme and provide a regional STEM hub for the wider community.

“All three departments will enjoy expanded and enriched facilities, with six brand new labs and three new classrooms being provided alongside the transformed older facilities. All rooms open off the spectacular new atrium space, which acts as a flexible auditorium, exhibition and events space combining striking architecture, sculpture and cutting edge audio-visual displays. Throughout the building are breakout spaces for small collaborative groupwork, resource-rich library spaces, educational exhibits such as the periodic table, reactivity series stairway, observation bee hive, fish tanks and areas for quiet study. We hope that the Barton Science Centre will be a place where students want to linger, work together and inspire one another to be better learners and scientists.”

Where old meets new (CGIs)

How the disciplines will be inspiring scientists…

Tonbridge Physics has enjoyed great success in national competitions over recent years (winning the Weizmann Safe-Cracking competition, UK Amateur Rocketry competition, and finishing in the top three of the schools’ Aerospace Challenge) as well as delivering a broad enrichment programme with students of all ages taking part in extension workshops and individual investigations on all aspects of Physics.

The new department has been designed to allow activities to flourish on a long-term basis, including flexible lab designs, a dedicated project-lab, and a department layout that allows the students to drive their learning forward.

If you walk around the department in future, you are more likely to see teachers and students building a Heath Robinson machine side-by-side, than you are to see a teacher lecturing at the front of a class laid out in rows. It is an extremely exciting time for Science at Tonbridge.

Philip Deakin, Head of Physics

Biology has been developing a strong following for independent project work in recent years, through the extended project scheme and Principia, the student science society.

These projects are starting to inspire younger students who have also enjoyed opportunities such as the Miniprojects club. What has held us back in the past has been our ability to provide space for investigative practical work outside of lesson time so that they can learn the sorts of skills that will help them as scientists beyond school. The new building will solve this issue with the ‘mega-lab’, with enough space to dedicate 6 benches to extended independent work.

Sixth Form students will be given a work bench for a term, with the challenge to explore the areas of the subject they are interested in. Recent projects by students in anti-microbial resistance and the exploration of potential epigenetic effects within fruit flies will be just a start. With the new building, such projects will be better supported than ever before and younger students will be able to witness and take part in exciting work.

Hugh Grant, Head of Biology

The new department has a wide variety teaching spaces with a flexible layout so that different learning activities can take place in a room designed for that purpose. The addition of two new 360º fume cupboards allows for the most exciting demonstrations in Chemistry to reach more students than ever before, inspiring them right at the beginning of their scientific careers.

A quick sweep through the Chemistry department will reveal teaching rooms with wet and dry areas that mirror the academic research environment. Three bespoke Sixth Form rooms will be used in lessons, demonstrations and practical work but will also allow for extended project work outside of the curriculum for students of all ages.

Recent extended projects have centred around secondary research and we are extremely excited about the new opportunities that our pupils will have to design and explore new practical manifolds in their Chemical journeys, from organic synthesis to kinetics.

TRANSFORMING LIVES

by Widening Access

In the last six years, we have had an average of 58 boys every year receiving means-tested support through our Foundation Award programme.

Our Foundation Awards (means-tested up to 100% bursaries) are offered to boys, who not only have significant talent, but also have a thirst for knowledge and are ready to embrace the benefits of a Tonbridge education.

Amongst the boys who have benefitted to date are engineers, accountants, a doctor, a musician and marketeers. Others are studying at or have graduated from Russell Group universities including Oxford and Cambridge. All have emerged as confident and ambitious young men.

As of September 2018, there are 39 boys in the school receiving means-tested support, who are working hard, preparing for public exams and participating fully in the life of the school.

Giving towards the education of others requires altruism and a long-term view. The words of Alfred and Timor reinforces the point that the impact is life-changing.

We hope you enjoy reading their stories over the following pages.

How are Foundation Awards Funded?

Foundation Awards are funded by a combination of House Foundation Award funds, the general Widening Access (Excellence for All fund) and the school’s income.

The Future Tonbridge remains committed to increasing the numbers of Foundation Awards as we progress through the next ten years, ahead of our 475th anniversary in 2028. We want to attract boys from any background: those who can afford full fees, partial fees or no fees at all, giving them the chance of a Tonbridge education which they would not be able to enjoy otherwise.

We are confident that our vision can be realised with the support of Old Tonbridgians, parents and friends of the school.

Excellence for All Campaign

Why I support Widening Access Richard Hough (PH 1979 - 1984) is also a parent at the school.

He has followed a career in the Law and is a Partner at Allen & Overy.

I chose to support the Excellence for All campaign with three thoughts in mind: First, I wanted to give something back, because Tonbridge gave me opportunities I would not have had elsewhere. It also gave me a confidence and belief in myself, which proved invaluable for both university life and my chosen career. I also made friendships, among fellow students and within the Common Room, that have stood the test of time.

Secondly, I strongly believe that the very high standards Tonbridge enjoys in academic achievement, cultural activities and sports should be accessible to gifted boys whose families cannot afford the fees associated with a private school education. I fully support the idea

Charles Ledsam (HS 1962 1966) worked in the City for over forty years and now runs a consultancy offering services in lifestyle change, business and career coaching.

He has been supporting the Foundation Award Fund since its inception in 2005.

I entered Tonbridge at the age of 13. Towards the end of my time there, my parents really struggled with the fees and part was then paid by the generous support of the school and Old Tonbridgians. Simply speaking, I donate to the Foundation Award programme because I remain very grateful for this and want to give the same opportunity that I myself had at Tonbridge.

One of the things that I also feel is important, alongside the quality of education is the school’s diversity.

Bursaries make it possible for some very able and promising boys to genuinely benefit from being stretched and being given higher aspirations that they might otherwise have had. These boys bring a passion for learning which enriches the whole school community.

Through my involvement with the Worshipful Company of Chartered

that more people from different backgrounds should have the same opportunities as I enjoyed.

And finally, with greater diversity the school provides a richer experience.

The boys will benefit more by interacting with people from a broad range of backgrounds, and their personal development will be the better for it. Whatever career the boys choose, diversity, accessibility and respect for the individual will be a key part of their working life.

Secretaries’ Charitable Trust, I was able to witness, at first hand, the difference that smaller donations by many individuals can make to young people’s education. I am therefore happy to play a small part in helping someone like me, whose parents could not otherwise afford a place at the school, to benefit as I did all those years ago.

THE IMPACT OF

FOUNDATION How do you measure the impact of a Tonbridge Foundation Award?

A great education can transform a boy’s life and we hope that in return, it will enable him to have an impact on the lives of others. The provision of Foundation Awards at Tonbridge enriches our school, raises academic standards and a greater mix of cultures and backgrounds is healthy preparation for all Tonbridgians for life beyond school.

Alfred’s Story The Foundation Award was an integral part of my education at Tonbridge and by extension, my university education and career. One of the key things that I learnt from my time at Tonbridge was the importance of social responsibility, in part due to being a recipient of the Foundation Award but also through the Wednesday afternoon Community Service Programme that I took part in for three years.

Alfred is currently a risk management consultant at EY and is involved with their in-house charity.

After leaving Tonbridge, during my Gap Year I was keen to engage in further community projects and took up a role working for a conservation charity (Coral Cay Conservation).

There I helped to organise and run projects in Trinidad and Tobago, Cambodia and the Philippines, where I was working closely with local governments and conservationists to established Marine Protected Areas.

I then went on to read Economics at Girton College, Cambridge where I attained a 2i but was also able to dip my toes into student politics after being elected Vice-President of the College’s Student Union. One of the key areas that I was able to be involved in was working with the Sutton Trust by giving talks at schools in Tower Hamlets and helping to run a Summer School in Cambridge.

25 | 26

Our aims were to de-mystify the Cambridge experience and help school children, typically from lower socio-economic backgrounds, to see applying to Cambridge as a viable and attainable option for them.

This is a cause that I’ve continued to be involved over the last few years working in London.

After graduating, I joined Ernst & Young as a risk management consultant, primarily focused on implementing financial regulation with our clients ranging from large global investment banks to FinTech startups. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time at EY as the work is challenging and I get to be involved at the forefront in shaping how the banking sector will operate over the coming years. On top of this I’m also involved with our in-house charity, the EY Foundation, where I mentor 3-4 sixth form students each year helping them to decide if they want to apply to university or go straight into work, and help them through both processes as well as being a sounding board for any questions they have about university, work or (as is often the case) life in general. Through the EY Foundation, I’ve been able to champion a programme whereby we send first year graduates to schools around London to run sessions to again de-mystify what university and working life is like.

Foundation Awards

AWARDS Timor’s Story

Timor Pasha joined Tonbridge from a small primary school in London. He is currently taking a gap year and plans to pursue a career in the Civil Service, working in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

In September 2013, I began my education at Tonbridge as a mere novus, like many of the other boys my age. However, instead of making my application to study at this prestigious institution via the standard Common Entrance examinations, I was granted a Foundation Award a few years beforehand whilst attending primary school. At the time, any knowledge of Tonbridge was relatively unknown to me as I came from a background which was, in many respects, diametrically opposed to life at the school. Yet, upon arrival, I adjusted to the lifestyle of a public school boy in a boarding house. In my time at Tonbridge, I have occasioned upon a plethora of societies and activities which, in my opinion, are exclusive to Tonbridge, including rackets, Tonbridge Community Action, creative writing and house competitions. It has been a pleasure to represent School House in all forms of competition, and on school trips to Rome, Sri Lanka, Wales and Greece. These experiences have proved to be greatly influential to my personal identity and have enriched the more formative years of my lifetime.

Of course, it goes without saying that these experiences would not have been possible were it not for my Foundation Award, something that will remain with me long after Tonbridge.

It has allowed me to receive a world-class secondary and sixth form education with the pleasure of not having to worry about financial costs

throughout. They have sincerely changed my life for the better and, reflecting on it all, I would like to formally thank all those who were involved from the bottom of my heart.

I will be forever indebted to those individuals who have, materially, thrown me a lifeline in the form of an enhanced education. Additionally, this opportunity has impacted my personal identity and allowed me to get to know some impressive figures; be they other boys of a gifted intellect or the teachers who have an extensive knowledge in their respective fields.

I can now reconcile the divides between different societies and appreciate individuals from all walks of life.

I have come to realise my aspirations purely as a result of my experiences at Tonbridge School and being able to attend this institution has instilled a desire to help others on an international scale.

Of course, I will also be looking to contribute to Tonbridge School in any way that I can so that I may be a part of its ongoing development in the future.

Without the financial aid I, and many others, could not possibly imagine studying at this institution. Conversely, I believe that many like me, have much to offer in terms of cultural diversity and so forth. Thank you so much for your charitable gifts and thank you for taking the time to read about my experience.

MESSAGE FROM

THE BURSAR Since the start of the Excellence for All campaign in 2012, the school has not only delivered on its aim, but has also prepared the foundations for the future, with a sound financial model: Total Income has been on average £31,320k per year (or £40,000 per boy), and Total Expenditure has been on average £29,078k per year (or £37,137 per boy), resulting in Net Incoming Resources of £2,242k per year on average (£2,863 per boy).

Income and Expenditure Over the last six years, 80% of the school’s income has come from the fees that parents pay, and these fees have averaged £32,077 per year.

The other 20% of the school’s income, £7,923 per boy per year, has come from three sources: a grant from the Judd Foundation (which has averaged £2,153 per boy); fundraising through the Excellence for All campaign of £1,287 per boy on average; and trading, investment and other income of £4,483 per boy.

The school’s expenditure is incurred on, broadly, five activities: teaching (43% of income at £17,047 per boy); providing the school’s premises (25% of income, at £9,858 per boy); looking after the welfare of the boys, including feeding them (11% of income, or £4,360 per boy); funding scholarships and bursaries (7% of income, or £3,017 per boy); and undertaking trading, fundraising and other activities (7% of income, £2,855 per boy).

Tonbridge Society Impact Report 2018

Cash Flow and Borrowing The summary numbers on the previous page are based on the school’s Annual Report and Accounts, which can be read in full on the Charity Commission website, albeit the 2017/18 numbers are currently preliminary (and have yet to be audited or published).

As shown in the table below, investment and pension scheme movements need to be added to the Net Incoming Resources average figure of £2,242k (or £2,863 per boy) to get to the school’s average Net

Movement in Funds (or “surplus”) figure of £2,367k (or £3,022 per boy).

Further adjustments are required to illustrate the school’s financial position from a cash, rather than accounting, point of view.

As shown in the table, non-cash operating adjustments are made to the Net Movement in Funds number, to show that the school generated, on average, £2,973k in cash from its day-to-day operating activities (or £3,797 per boy) over the last six years.

The table also shows that the school has invested £3.7m per year in its facilities and equipment (£4,739 per boy, or £22.2m in total) and increased borrowings by £1.6m per year (£2,044 per boy per year) on average to support this capital investment.

The “bottom line” is that the school has generated £999k per year in cash (£1,276 per boy), most of which has been allocated to reserves to fund the remainder of the Barton Science Centre project.

Message from the Bursar

LOOKING FORWARD So, whilst the school’s financial position is and has been “sound”, it is clear from the summary that the continuing prosperity of the school depends not only on providing an excellent and broad education (so that demand for places remains strong, and parents remain committed to paying the fees), but also on generating additional sources of income to help fund investment in buildings and facilities, finance bursary awards, and contribute to elements of educational provision. As trading, investment and other income are unlikely to grow materially (given, for example, that further trading growth risks negatively impacting the boys’ experience at the school), and the Judd Foundation Grant is fixed, further fundraising is essential for the school going forward as we seek:

• to continue providing an excellent and broad education, • to widen access to a Tonbridge education (through the provision of more means-tested bursaries), and

• to invest (in a more targeted way following the completion of the Science Centre) in the school’s facilities.
