The school aims to provide a caring and enlightened environment in which the talents of each individual flourish. We encourage boys to be creative, tolerant and to strive for academic, sporting and cultural excellence. Respect for tradition and an openness to innovation are equally valued.
A well-established house system at the heart of the school fosters a strong sense of belonging. Tonbridge seeks to celebrate its distinctive mixture of boarders and day boys; this helps to create a unique broadening and deepening of opportunity. We want boys to enjoy their time here, but also to be made aware of their social and moral responsibilities. Tonbridgians should enter into the adult world with the knowledge and self-belief to fulfil their own potential and to become leaders in their chosen field. Equally, we hope to foster a life-long empathy for the needs and views of others; in the words of the great novelist and Old Tonbridgian E.M. Forster: 'Only Connect'.

Over a hundred Tonbridge first year (Novi) boys slept rough in aid of a charity which supports homeless and vulnerable young people in Kent. The event, which saw students and staff spend the night in a cardboard ‘city’ constructed in the school’s Quad, has so far raised over £9,000 for Porchlight. Thanks to Clair Miller for the pictures.

The Tonbridge School Novi (first years) and a few brave members of staff will be taking part in the annual sponsored Sleep Out for Porchlight tomorrow evening (Saturday, 22 April). The students will be sleeping in cardboard shelters to better understand the experience of those people who have no choice but to sleep rough every night. Porchlight is a local charity working in Tonbridge and across Kent to provide children, young people and adults with support around housing, education, employment and mental health and wellbeing. The Sleep Out participants can be sponsored at http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserProfilePage.action?userUrl=tsstaffsleepout17&isTeam=true
