Prospective Year 7s

Thank you for your interest in Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys. We look forward to welcoming you at one of our open events. Booking is essential for all of our open mornings but is not necessary for the Open Evening, which takes place at the Tunbridge Wells campus. However, please note that this annual event is always very well attended and booking IS required for the Headteacher's talks.

Please note that we are unable to provide private tours of the school outside of our open events.
