Each year, the Tonbridge School invites talented young men to join the school’s diverse population of gifted learners. Most of the school’s 780 or more students join the school at age 13 in the First Year, but several also begin in the Second Year and Lower Sixth Year. This allows for a unique mix of boarders and day students.

There are seven boarding Houses and five day boy Houses at Tonbridge, each consisting of about sixty boys. The House is the center of the students’ daily lives, and provides each student with access to a close-knit community inside the school. Parents may express a preference for a different house, but this is not guaranteed. Each House lists for entry about two and a half years in advance of the date of entry. Candidates may only register on House lists when they have already accepted a conditional offer of admission.

Roughly sixty percent of all students are boarders, most of whom are geographically diverse. Ninety percent of students live within a two hour drive of the school, but significant groups come from other areas as well, with over twenty-five different nationalities represented in the school.

Tonbridge awards a number of scholarships, with fifteen boys offered full fee remission and another fifteen receiving over eighty percent fee remission. Scholarships are awarded in both Year 6 and Year 8, recognizing students who show outstanding academic potential as well as supplementary skills like musical or artistic talent.

Registration is generally requested three years before entry into the school. Boys will be invited to complete the ISEB common pre-test and to attend an Assessment Afternoon in Year 6. Current schools must send a detailed report on each applicant and must later accept an Unconditional Offer of a Place. This offer is subject to a satisfactory final report from the current school.

Questions about the application and enrollment process may be directed to the Tonbridge School Admissions Office at

Westminster is a school dating back to 1179. The school originated when the Benedictine monks at Westminster Abbey were asked to open a small school for charity. This school survived after the monasteries dissolved as a result of the interventions of Henry VIII, and the school was granted its Royal Charter in 1560. Since then, the school has provided both boarding and day education for boys. Girls were admitted beginning in 1973 and the school continues to enroll up to 70 boarding and day school girls ages 16 and older for A Level.

The Admissions Policy was devised to ensure that all selection criteria and produces were well-established, fair, and in compliance with the School’s charitable commitment. The school aims to provide independent education for young individuals – boys ages 13 to 18 and girls ages 16 to 18. The Policy also helps ensure that applicants’ academic and other abilities match the standards of the school.

The Headmaster is the chief responsible party for admissions decisions. Documents for admission are retained a year after the 13+ interview or 16+ examination, regardless of whether the student enrolls in the school. The school has committed to accepted 120 boy pupils ages 13+ and 70 boy girl pupils age 16+. Although exceptions may sometimes be made, this policy is set forth to encourage social cohesion each year.

Boys may be registered at 13+ any time for up to three years before the point of entry. When an applicant reaches Year 6, he will take tests in English, Reasoning, and Mathematics and must send a report to the Westminster School. An interview and head teacher report are also required. At this point, a letter will be sent home to parents offering conditional placement, after which a parent must pay the non refundable entrance fee. A deposit of a term’s fees must confirm the place by the first Monday in September the year before a boy enters the school.

For 16+ entry, a boy or girl must be registered by June of the calendar year before the applicant’s proposed entry. Examinations will take place in November the year before, with parents required to notify the school of their intentions to apply. Again, parents whose children are offered conditional placement must pay a non refundable entrance fee and deposit.

The school also offers twelve Queen’s Scholarship to exemplary academic students. These scholarships provide a fee reduction as well as a 50% reduction for boarding costs. Other scholarships, such as Honorary Scholarships, Music Scholarships, and the Henry Purcell Organic Scholarship, may also be awarded to help reduce the cost of attendance.

Westminster also adheres to several other admissions criteria when evaluating candidates, including high marks on Common Entrance papers, satisfactory interviews, and positive recommendations for head teachers.

Generally, applications are due by October of the year before the candidate wishes to enroll. Some late applications are accepted in January. Assessments are held in November, with enrollment decisions made shortly thereafter.

For the upcoming school year, tuition and fees should be around £12,850 per term. This is inclusive of all tuition, board, textbooks, laundry, and stationary. This must be paid in advance of the first day of term. First bills will be sent out in July, at which time an Acceptance Fee is also required.

King’s College London is proud to offer qualified students the Summer Programme Scholarship. These scholarships are awarded to forced migrants from the United Kingdom, as well as from around the globe. These awards are granted to students wishing to enroll in the 2018 Undergraduate School, the 2018 Pre-University Summer School, and the 2018 Pre-University Taster. Ten tuition fee scholarships will be awarded in this upcoming academic year alone.

Forced migrants are those who come from a variety of immigration backgrounds. They might be asylum seekers, former asylum seekers, unaccompanied asylum seeking children, limited leave to remain applicants, or individuals with long standing residence status. While the terms and conditions of each of these statuses varies depending on length of stay and condition of their refugee status, this scholarship is notable because it helps to alleviate some of the hardships associated with all of the above conditions. According to statistics provided by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, only one percent of eligible refugees have access to higher education. The King’s Summer School helps to address this concern.

To be eligible to apply, students must be at least sixteen years old on September 1, 2018. Students have the opportunity to study any subject at a undergraduate level, allowing them to prepare for future university studies. This two-week program is highly intensive, and includes academic classes, social activities in London, excursions, university preparation advice, and skills training. The program is residential, with most students living at King’s College. Non-residential students are also encouraged to apply.

The program is offered in two sessions, with the first running from July 8 until July 21. The second is offered from July 22 to August 4, with separate sessions operating slightly later for nonresidential students (as an orientation day is not required). Students may choose to attend both sessions, if desired. Class credit will be granted for progress made in coursework at King’s College.

Interested candidates must apply first for the summer program and meet all prerequisite academic criteria. In some cases, visas are required for study at the summer school.
