Tonbridge has always had a rich philanthropic tradition at its heart, stemming originally from the charitable gifts which helped found the School over 460 years ago. The Tonbridge School Foundation is a registered charity which exists to support the development of the School. The Governors act as its trustees and we have been delighted to support the improvements that have taken place across the campus in recent years. The Tonbridge Society, made up of Old Tonbridgians, parents, past parents and friends of the School, helps to make our ambitions a reality by raising crucial funds for the Foundation to assist with both capital projects and the provision of bursaries and scholarships – ensuring that boys who can benefit from a Tonbridge education are able to do so regardless of their family’s ability to pay.

Director Of The Tonbridge Society

Recent survey work carried out by the Tonbridge Society revealed that the overwhelming majority of its members believe that it is right to focus assistance in this two-fold way, namely by helping with the provision of the best facilities for the School whilst also ensuring that bursaries and scholarships are available for those in need. We are humbled that you take this view and, on behalf of the Governors and staff, I offer my grateful thanks to you for your generosity. The academic results speak for themselves. Another extremely strong set of public examination results again place Tonbridge among the best performing schools nationally. They are a credit to both the boys and the staff, and of course also to their parents. I would like to offer our congratulations. Best wishes,

A Message From The Headmaster Tonbridge values equally a respect for tradition and an openness to innovation. We look to the future by building on the foundations of the past.

‘Tonbridge has a positive and forward thinking attitude.’

Perhaps the perfect example of this was the dedication service for the new First World War remembrance garden, where Tonbridgians past and present marked the sacrifice made by former boys and staff a century ago with an outdoor ceremony within the stunning grounds that were created as part of our wider development masterplan. Within this Annual Report we hope to give an insight as to how the generous gifts and donations made to the School, as well as fees and other income streams, are used to provide our boys with an education of unsurpassed breadth and depth. The School is about more than exams, although results are excellent by any measure.

Tim Haynes, Headmaster

We take a detailed look at aspects of school life that demonstrate Tonbridge’s positive and forward thinking attitude. I am immensely proud of the work our boys and staff do in the community and the report details just one of the dozens of projects undertaken throughout the year by Tonbridge Community Action to assist charities and good causes.

Just some of the School’s achievements during this past year...

The importance of mental health and wellbeing is being recognised by educators, health professionals and the media as never before, and our Second Master, Dr Huw Williams, explains how we give our boys the best possible support to help them succeed during their time here and the steps that have cemented Tonbridge’s reputation for providing exemplary pastoral care. The document also formally recognises the support given to Tonbridge over the past year and thanks the School’s many friends for their valuable contributions. If you have any suggestions for next year’s Annual Report, do please contact my office. Best wishes,

Tim Haynes Headmaster

Garden Of Remembrance The Battle of the Somme Centenary Service

On the 100th anniversary of the first day of the Battle of the Somme, Tonbridge held a commemoration service and dedicated its new Garden of Remembrance. 415 Old Tonbridgians lost their lives in the Great War, with a great many more injured in either body or mind. Nine Old Tonbridgians,R B Cecil, G L M Clarke, A Clough, R H W Davidson, J M Foord-Kelcey, F W Hill, H L Rayner, F B Tanqueray and H A S Williams, died on the first day of the Somme, on 1st July 1916. Another notable Tonbridgian to die later on the Somme was Kent and England batsman K L Hutchings. To mark this sacrifice, the School has created the Garden of Remembrance. The garden has been designed by Head Gardener Tina Chillingworth, who was inspired by the simplicity of many monuments remembering the Great War, notably the Cenotaph in Whitehall. The design invites visitors to walk in and onto the grass, not merely through it. The dedication service, which began at 7.30am – the same time troops went ‘over the top’ - was attended by all current boys, staff, many Old Tonbridgians (OTs) and Governors. Chairman of Governors Jonathan Cohen read a reflection commended by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and David Walsh, Chairman of the OT Society, gave a commemoration address.

“We should remember also the parents and teachers of that Great War generation for whom each individual Tonbridge boy was as important then as they are now. We should reflect on their daily agony of waiting and hoping. Here at Tonbridge the grief of Headmaster Charles Lowry was on display each Sunday in Chapel as he read out the names of those killed that week, boys well known to him, their housemasters and other staff. It is in that cutting off of youthful promise, that tantalising glimpse of what might have been for so many young men, that the true tragedy of the war lies. “We should also remember today the character and virtues instilled in these young men by their Tonbridge education, and their friendships with each other. The inscription on Tonbridge’s war memorial, dedicated in 1925 as ‘The Gate of Remembrance’, said that ‘they gave us peace by their warfare and by their death life’. This paradox helps us to understand what motivated them and how they endured the experience through which they went, an experience of which the vast majority remained immensely proud, hoping that their sacrifice would deter war in future and make for a better world.” A wreath was laid by Air Chief Marshal Sir Andrew Wilson KCB, AFC. The Chapel Choir preformed, ‘In Flanders Fields’ by Christine Donkin.

He said: “We are gathered here a hundred years on from that terrible morning in a spirit of remembrance and thanksgiving to commemorate more than 2,000 boys and staff from this school who served their country in the Great War, and in particular to honour those 415 who died. Nearly half were aged between 18 and 24, their lives barely begun. And we should not forget the impact of the war on all those who served. Many carried physical and mental scars for the rest of their lives. Of one survivor it was said that ‘he could never let go of the war. The images used to haunt him with memories he could not obliterate’. In this context we should remember the humane pioneering work of Tonbridgian Dr William Rivers in addressing the mental traumas of shell-shocked men.

SCHOOL LIFE

Raising Aspirations Tonbridge in the Community ‘Are the Tonbridge boys coming today?’ ask the children as they arrive on the playground. The teachers on duty nod. ‘Great!’ ‘Brilliant!’ ‘Wicked!’ Wednesday is an extra special day for many at St Stephen’s Primary School as they are joined by personal learning mentors from Tonbridge Community Action (TCA). The scheme sees boys from Tonbridge partnered with boys from St Stephen’s to support their learning in the classroom and to spend time chatting over a biscuit and drink to find out about each other’s weeks.

It is a two-way experience, with the Tonbridge School mentors also benefitting and taking pleasure from seeing the impact of their work. Tonbridge boys say of their experience:

This ‘little and large’ combination has helped to raise the aspirations of some primary school children and offers them time for just them and their mentor. It has clearly been a positive experience with St Stephen’s pupils enjoying time with their Tonbridge buddy. They said:

“It is great to be a part of someone else’s life and give back to the community.”

“They [the Tonbridge boys] are fun and helpful.” “It’s good because I can speak to my partner.” “He helps me learn … and I love the board games and the biscuits.”

“I have hugely enjoyed seeing my mentee’s work ethic and enjoyment of school increase.”

“My mentee makes me laugh.” It is not just mentoring that TCA are providing at St Stephen’s. Tonbridge boys help to run an extremely popular football club after school and the whole of Year 6 visited Tonbridge for personal tutoring to improve their writing skills. The work with St Stephen’s is just one part of the TCA’s wider programme of opportunities for boys and staff to engage with the community in a variety of ways. The development of each boy’s sense of social responsibility and emotional intelligence makes up one of the main pillars of a Tonbridge education.

The Importance Of Boys’ Wellbeing View from the Second Master

The importance of mental health and wellbeing has featured prominently in the media of late, and Tonbridge recognises the huge importance of creating a supportive and caring environment for boys.

Dr Huw Williams, Second Master

There can be no doubt that young people are under more pressure than ever before, both in a social and academic sense, and it is for Tonbridge to create an environment where its boys can deal with this pressure more effectively, learn to be comfortable in their own skins and flourish. We believe mental health and wellbeing is of crucial importance to their future life-long success. There is some debate as to why it is the case young people are now more vulnerable to mental health and wellbeing issues. Factors such as the internet, social media and the fact there is little escape from a world of smart phones and other technology almost certainly has something to do with it - the lines have been blurred between the digital and the real world. Boys here are also highly ambitious to do well academically and that bring its own pressure. It’s very much a two stage process of knowing and supporting. Knowing what the issues might be, getting to know the individual boys and then providing support if it is needed. Breadth and depth of education is key to good mental health and wellbeing and, while the academic side of school life is obviously extremely important, the opportunity to try other things and enjoy a variety of experiences is an important part of the Tonbridge ethos. Part of good mental health is balance. Boys are able to do things that are good for physical and mental wellbeing here, whether that’s running around in games, being in a play or learning an instrument and this breadth enables them to develop resilience to pressures in any one of their spheres of activity. Crucial to our pastoral care at Tonbridge is the house system. A boy will relate closely to his house, in a small vertical cross-section of the school that fosters a sense of belonging. It provides a peer support network for boys, as well as the crucial link between a boy and his housemaster who will get to know individuals and their families. Furthermore, matrons, tutors and other school staff can offer avenues of support for a boy. Boys receive education about wellbeing throughout their Tonbridge lives. Mindfulness is part of the curriculum, indeed Tonbridge was one of the first schools in the country to offer mindfulness classes and embrace it as a method for assisting its staff and students.

‘It is a process of knowing and supporting.’

Tonbridge School Annual Report 16

Tonbridge School Annual Report 16

Education about wellbeing continues in PSHEE classes and via the seminar programme, where boys are helped to develop their emotional literacy. Boys discuss issues and develop an understanding of the link between emotion, behaviour and learning, and also improve relationship, communication and teamwork skills. We value and respond to the boys’ opinions through a number of formal and informal channels. Tonbridge’s Anti-bullying Council features boys from every year of the School who represent their peers and focus on their peers’ wellbeing. Individual House Councils feed back to the Lower and Upper School councils and pick areas of school life and key messages to focus on each term. This gives boys a sense of ownership and ensures, through conversations with student colleagues, that their opinions are listened to. The Mental Health Strategy Group, which I chair, keeps up with latest research and findings on mental health, to make sure the correct support is available for boys and staff. They should have built a strong relationship of trust with their Housemaster and other members of house staff, but they can seek independent support through the on-site counsellor who is always available to them and can provide the boys with a neutral and safe space to talk. The School also has an Independent Listener who is someone the boys can talk to on the ‘outside’ if that is where they feel comfortable. The chaplaincy also plays an important role in the pastoral side of school life, with advice and guidance always available to boys. Of critical importance is the strong partnership between parents and the School and gaining the cooperation of the boys themselves so the lines of communication between everyone are always open. By being aware of best practice in mental health and looking after the boys’ wellbeing, Tonbridge provides a supportive environment in which they can enjoy their time here, and fulfil their potential.

SCHOOL LIFE

Taking The Lead Music at Tonbridge

‘It didn’t feel like coming into a school, it felt like visiting a university and that immediately attracted me. With the facilities and the scope for what we can do in music here, the experience for boys is very special.’ Tonbridge Director of Music Mark Forkgen is still clear about why he decided to take up his post at the School, a decade on from his appointment.

‘Boys can take risks and don’t need to fear failure.’

Many Tonbridge staff have career experience outside the academic environment. This brings a richness of expertise and understanding to their role and Mark is perhaps more lauded than most for his work outside the school gates as a conductor of great renown. He continues to act as Music Director for Kokoro (the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra’s New Music Ensemble), the London Concert Choir and Canticum and has conducted a number of this country’s leading orchestras including the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, English Chamber Orchestra, Opera North and the City of London Sinfonia, as well performing across Europe. He recently conducted a special concert to mark the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Jutland at the Barbican.

Mark Forkgen, Director of Music

He said: “It helps to keep you fresh. It means you are always adding to your experiences, questioning what you are doing and you can feed things back into music at the School. You can bring that different outlook because you are still working in the professional world. We can also use those relationships to give boys here great experiences that they perhaps would not get elsewhere.” Mark’s philosophy is about discovery and helping boys to grow as both musicians and people. “It’s about the breadth you can offer musically and we can help a boy develop as a musician in whatever way he wishes,” he said. “It’s all about helping boys find what sort of musician they want to be. The more you make music in different circumstances and situations, the better you become as a musician.” A key part of this is planning the music programme for the School, something Mark does with meticulous attention to detail. He said: “It is important that it doesn’t become stale and that we try different things. Yes, there are events that are in the diary every year, but there is scope to be creative within them and also to add new things. It is planned very much in advance, but I will also take into account the calibre of the musicians coming through and how they are developing.

Tonbridge School Annual Report 16

“I believe that if music at Tonbridge becomes predictable, then I wouldn’t be doing my job.” This year’s programme includes a festival of American music, ranging from impressionism to the minimalist kaleidoscopes of Philip Glass and John Adams via ragtime, musical theatre and popular song. This will culminate with a remarkable 12 hour performance of ‘Riley in C’; fifty-three melodic patterns played in sequence. The performers, playing a wide variety of instruments or even singing, get to choose how many times they play each pattern as well as its dynamic and relative speed. This will be a living sound installation in our Old Big School Gallery. Last year, Tonbridge boys performed a remarkable whole school concert of Howard Goodall’s ‘Psalm 122’ - Mark says to have every boy involved in music is, ‘always a thrilling experience’ - and Tonbridge’s leading chamber orchestra and choir continue to impress wherever they perform to an exceptional standard. Mark wants every boy at Tonbridge to have their time here enriched by the way music is woven into the fabric of the School. He said: “It is an extraordinary thing at this School. If a boy goes on stage here, in the house music competition for example, everyone is supporting them and willing them to succeed. “We want musicians to experience the creative process, show innovation and take risks in a supportive environment where they don’t need to fear failure.” Helping Tonbridge boys experience different kinds of music for the first time is perhaps Mark’s greatest thrill. He added: “It has happened many times where we have introduced boys to something that they have found particularly challenging, but as their understanding develops and they begin to master it, it often becomes their fondest memory of music at the School.”

For some years now I have given a presentation to new parents giving a financial overview of the School and demonstrating where their fees go – we feel it is correct that parents who are paying for their son’s education should have a clear idea of how that money is used and for the School’s finances to be transparent.

The School’s operating costs include bursaries. Tonbridge forgoes over £2.5m of fee income to provide bursaries and scholarships to ensure talented boys who can benefit from a Tonbridge education can do so, regardless of their parents’ ability to pay. This is only possible due to the generous donations we receive. We have also embarked on an ambitious development programme, creating and improving facilities that will allow the School to provide an unsurpassed education of breadth and depth for years to come. Again, creating a world-class campus to support the best possible education for our boys happens because of the support of the Judd Foundation and others.

Director Of The Tonbridge Society Development and Progress

‘We have achieved much and boys are reaping the benefits.’ Andy Whittall, Director of the Tonbridge Society

Tonbridge is going through its biggest development programme since the 19th Century and thanks to the generosity of countless Old Tonbridgians and parents, past and present, we have made significant progress with the building projects outlined in the Excellence for All campaign. There is a lot to celebrate! During the last five years, over 60 boys have benefitted from some form of bursarial support. We have modernised the boys’ houses and provided new classrooms for mathematics. We have converted Old Big School from a little used space into a modern gallery for performances and exhibitions for the boys and wider community.

We recently asked the groups who make up the Tonbridge Society - Old Tonbridgians, members of the Parents’ Arts Society and others - what they thought we could do better and how the Tonbridge Society can provide lifelong value to them. The findings, some of which are included in this Report, were illuminating, and we look forward to implementing many of your suggestions over the next year.

The summer of 2014 saw the opening of a new building for Divinity - the Chadwick Building. Dry Hill House, the home of the English department has benefitted from a four classroom extension. Last year we opened new clay tennis courts and extended the very popular gym facilities at the Sports Centre. The Smythe Library was completed in time for the start of the academic year providing a new, inspirational space for teaching, learning strategies and the university and careers service. We have achieved so much and the boys are reaping the benefits of these new facilities.

Meanwhile, I would like to extend my personal thanks to everyone throughout the Tonbridge community for their generous and unswerving support for the Excellence for All campaign throughout this past year.

Our challenge now is that we need to raise the final £0.9m to reach the £6m campaign target that will enable us to start work on the new Science Centre, which is in many ways the culmination of our Masterplan. With the continued support of parents, OTs and friends, we believe this goal is achievable.

Best wishes,

Andy Whittall Director of the Tonbridge Society

I also hope you enjoy reading about how the Excellence for All campaign is transforming our campus and our commitment to offer 24 boys a House Foundation Award 100% bursary place.

We believe that talented boys who can benefit from what a Tonbridge education has to offer should not be excluded based on their family’s ability to pay. The School forgoes up to £2.5million of fee income per year to provide these fee remissions. The House Foundation Award programme began in 2004 and provides a means-tested bursary of up to 100% and is widely advertised in primary schools. Eleven Foundation Award boys are currently at Tonbridge, thanks in large part to your generosity. Over 700 people have contributed to these awards and 42% of all OT donors have given to the Foundation Award Scheme.

At the heart of the Excellence for All campaign is our ambition to offer 24 boys a House Foundation Award as part of our commitment to widening access. Regular giving through the 1553 Society and our telephone campaigns is crucial to maintaining our ability to provide bursaries and scholarships.

Excellence for All


The Smythe Library A Library for the 21st Century The transformed Smythe Library opened at the start of the Michaelmas Term to provide the School with a modern library to meet the changing needs of its users. Philanthropy accounted for over £1millon of the funds needed to develop the remarkable new look and greatly improved building.

Work included the building of a new staircase to the south and an entrance lobby extension to the north side of the library.

The library exists to meet the information needs of the whole school community and to support all teaching and learning.

There are alternative teaching spaces where classes can ‘break out’ and boys can even jot their thoughts on the wipe-clean walls and tables; so there is no need to find a flip-chart or board when inspiration strikes!

Originally built by Sir William Holford in 1962, the library contains around 23,000 volumes – some of which have been in the School’s possession since the seventeenth century. The library needed to become a place of learning suited to the 21st century, with modern equipment and flexible meeting and teaching spaces, whilst still recognising the importance of books.

The building is also now home to the learning strategies and careers departments, meaning boys have access to a host of useful services under one-roof. The new café and meeting place is proving to be a big hit, giving boys an area to relax and converse between or after lessons.

The decision was taken to extend the library from two floors to four, incorporating the best of technology and modern teaching practices. This was made possible through a combination of giving and the support of the Judd Foundation.

‘A new science centre will stimulate aspiration and ambition.’ Bill Burnett, Head of Science

Science At Tonbridge Our Vision for a New Science Centre

The creation of a new science centre will be one of the most ambitious developments to happen on the Tonbridge campus since the first science building was constructed in 1887. This was, at the time, the first purpose built school science facility in the country. To put this into context, the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University, one of the most famous and influential laboratories in the world, opened only 13 years earlier. The approach to Science at Tonbridge was revolutionary for the time and the School has maintained a proud tradition of science ever since. Our alumni include; Norman Heatley (Parkside 1922-29), who saved millions of lives by discovering how to purify and mass produce penicillin, Derek Barton (Manor 1932-35), who won a Noble Prize for chemistry and Bill Hamilton (Smythe House 1949-54), one of the most important evolutionary biologists since Charles Darwin. Current pupils achieve exam grades that are among the very best in the country and their enthusiasm is shared through successful outreach programmes. So why change anything? A key reason is that science has advanced in ways that were never imagined in 1887. The distinction between the sciences has blurred. Beyond school it is about ‘crossover’ subjects like materials science, physical chemistry, biophysics and the various branches of applied science and engineering. Modern scientists understand that few things make sense when considered in isolation and more is achieved by working together. This is reflected in the degree courses now being offered at many universities.

To achieve this we want to modernise the way science is presented, learnt and understood, making it more obviously applied to the lives of Tonbridge boys and the wider world. Many changes are already in motion, but we are lacking space and facilities. Our 1887 advantage is being swept away and we require new facilities to allow interaction and work across the disciplines in the way modern science demands. Our plans are ambitious and will put Tonbridge, once again, at the cutting edge of school science both nationally and internationally. Tonbridge will be a conduit and catalyst for links between boys, universities, industry, research and the independent and maintained education sectors. Tonbridge boys will be able to carry out original research, invent, collaborate with others, gain access to the best STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) undergraduate courses and enjoy a wide range of STEM careers – as well as achieving those excellent exam results! With your support, I have no doubt we can make this happen.

Bill Burnett Head of Science

The world has changed too. The need for new, clean sources of energy, new materials, new food and medical technologies will provide massive opportunities for those ready to take them on. We want Tonbridgians to see science as both the route to success and the way to make a better world.

The Judde Society

Celebrating Regular Giving at Tonbridge

Remembering Tonbridge in Your Will

In 1553 Tonbridge School was founded thanks to an extraordinary act of philanthropy by one man; Sir Andrew Judde. Philanthropy has been critical to the School’s success and ‘The 1553 Society’ recognises those who have regularly given their support to the School’s fundraising projects.

The Judde Society is a recognition group for all legacy donors. Membership to the Society is open to anyone who feels the time is right to remember Tonbridge in their will.

All regular donors are automatically members and we are hoping to gain additional new members each year. Collective giving really is making a difference. Through the 1553 Society, all regular donors enjoy the benefit of an invitation to the Headmaster’s thank you drinks in June as well as being named in the Annual Report.

If 15% of all OTs and parents give the historically significant amount of £15.53 per month for 5 years we would raise £1.2million towards school projects and House Foundation Awards.

23

As a member, you will be invited to the Christmas Carol Service and also the Headmaster’s Summer Drinks held in Skinners’ Library in June. Members will also receive a regular newsletter which will keep them up-to-date with what is going on in the School. In this way, we can involve and thank those who have generously committed to the future of Tonbridge.

Legacies of all sizes are always appreciated and the School will never ask how much you have pledged, unless you wish to tell us. Under present legislation, the School’s charitable status makes your gift exempt from Inheritance Tax. Any sum you bequeath to Tonbridge will not only be free of tax, it may also reduce the overall tax liability due on your estate.

Other benefits include a special Judde Society tie for every member, invitations to attend other School events and opportunities to meet present pupils who can give a guided tour of all the new facilities that the School has to offer.

All of our supporters are acknowledged in this publication and each year, in the summer term, the Headmaster hosts a drinks reception at the School to say thank you to everyone who has supported us in one way or another. These are just some of the ways in which Tonbridge is proud to recognise its supporters alongside membership to one of the following groups: Pioneers, Benefactors and Patrons. We also have the Judde Society for those who wish to include Tonbridge in their will and the 1553 Society, which is for those who support the school on a regular basis. We endeavour to acknowledge each gift we receive and we always respect the wishes of the donor regarding which projects they wish to support or whether or not they wish to remain anonymous.
