COMMUNITY
Giving Day proves a great success The School’s inaugural Giving Day, which took place on 30 June and 1 July, raised more than £403,000, from 816 donors. These funds take Tonbridge one step closer to achieving its ambition to double the number of Foundation Awards by 2028. Gifts were made from members of our community across 24 different countries, including Hong Kong, China, the USA and Canada. Donors to Giving Day included 342 parents and 268 Old Tonbridgians, with additional support from current pupils, staff, former parents and family members. The enthusiastic response of the Tonbridge community to the various challenges – virtual, on-site and off-site – exceeded all expectations and made the event a huge success.
* On-Site Giving Day: The School was delighted to be able to invite guests from local primary schools to enjoy our facilities and take part in a range of sporting, academic and artistic activities. More than 400 children, mainly from Years 5 and 6, joined us from six local primary schools. Hosted by First Years (the Novi), they enjoyed 15 different activities including sports, drama, art, pond dipping and even orienteering, all of which were run by the Lower Sixth.
