Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys

🐶🎂 Happy 8th Birthday, Doris!

Doris celebrated her special day last week with a tasty chewy treat for lunch.

September will mark 7 years since Doris joined the TWGSB family and she continues to be a much-loved member of our community. For now she’s enjoying her summer break at home with Mrs Rose – we look forward to welcoming her back next term for lots more fuss, affection and tummy rubs. 🐾 ❤️

🎵 What a fantastic evening at the Music Department's end-of-term summer concert, 'Hope 4 The Future'. The programme featured talented current students alongside alumni, some of whom now work in the professional music industry. It was inspiring to hear how music has shaped their lives and to welcome them back to the TWGSB stage.

With a packed hall, an enthusiastic audience and outstanding performances throughout, the concert was a wonderful celebration of music and community. 🎵👏

🎓🏆 Congratulations to all our KS3 Award Winners!

What a fantastic evening celebrating our values of Respect, Excellence and Determination at this year's Awards Evening.

Over 135 certificates, trophies and cups were presented to recognise outstanding achievement and contribution. 👏🎉

A wonderful way to round off the school year, with plenty of proud moments and smile. 📸

We look forward to celebrating our KS4 and KS5 award winners in September.

📚 With such a busy end to the term we never had the chance to properly introduce our Head Students for 2026/27.

🌟 Meet Oli (left) and Oliver (right) who have already represented the school brilliantly at Open Events, supported Year 6 children on Transition Day, and helped organise successful Giving Day bake sales.

Over the coming year, they will work with the senior prefect team and staff to support the TWGSB community and champion their chosen charities, Breast Cancer Now and Caritas Internationalis.

Congratulations, Oli and Oliver. 👏 We can't wait to see all that you achieve in the year ahead!

📚 And that's a wrap on another school year!

It's been a busy and successful Term 6, packed with achievements, events and memorable moments. Take a look back at all the highlights in the Headteacher's end-of-term newsletter.

Earlier this month, our Year 13 students celebrated the end of exams and their time at TWGSB with a memorable prom at Salomons Estate. The evening began with welcome drinks on the lawn and a screening of England’s victorious World Cup knockout-stage match. ⚽🏆

With the dance floor packed until midnight, the event was a fitting farewell before students embark on their next exciting chapter.

Pt. 2- What kind of individuals we are sending out into the world? When we asked our teachers what kind of individuals we are sending out into the world, they all spoke of character and core values. They spoke of young people with integrity, respect and the innovation needed to shape the future. As we approach our first Giving Day tomorrow, we are asking you to help us continue investing in our community and the young people who will go out with all intention of making the next generation even greater.
