A 15 year multi-phase site masterplan was completed in 2018. The final phase achieved a longstanding ambition to provide modern outdoor sport facilities. Instead of a sloping grass ‘field’ students can now access on-site PE and co-curricular outdoors activities on a floodlit all weather pitch, a 100m sprint track, cricket nets, tennis nets, netball shooting posts, and grass training spaces.
Vision for our Future School 24.25: HMY Architects have been appointed to produce a new school development plan. Whilst investigating all possible external funding streams, our own fundraising plays an important role in enabling us to realise our ambitions.
At TGS every student is supported to achieve the best that they can, and we strongly believe that no student should be excluded from any aspect of the education and activities that we offer.
Bursary fundraising provides both discretionary financial assistance, and extends the financial support for students eligible under the government led pupil premium and 16 - 19 schemes. We can support students who would otherwise be excluded from activities due to their personal financial circumstances.
There is a detailed package of support. It starts with students in primary schools years 4 and 5 right through to leaving school.
Tonbridge Grammar School is able to offer additional financial assistance thanks to generous donations including benefactors the Coan Family and Miss Joy Debney former staff and the Debney Endowment Trust set up in her name.
Our legacy programme is named after our benefactor legator Miss Joy Debney, teacher of History and school archivist, who was associated with Tonbridge Grammar School for many years.
Her devotion to the School and students is remembered in many aspects of school life, including Debney House. On the anniversary of her birthday in March we express our thanks for Joy’s Legacy and the legators who follow her commitment.
The School is incredibly grateful for the bequests received over the years, which have enhanced school life. Joy Debney’s legacy has created an endowment for bursaries, The Debney Endowment Trust, and is providing essential funds for developing the school campus.
We hope that you will consider leaving a legacy to Tonbridge Grammar School as a fitting testament to the value you place in the transformative power of education.
