Following preliminary consultations led by architects Bond Bryan, and in depth consultations with all stakeholders led by architects HMY, Vision for Future School group is working towards realising a short and a longer term development plan, which will meet and reflect the changing needs of education and environment targets. A high priority is for the whole school site to be accessible to all users, both internally and externally.
The objective for 2024-2025 is to realise works in the Technology Block: A lift, and upgrades to teaching classrooms in DT and in Science.
Our own fundraising must play an important role in realising our ambitions. We are able to start our plans and campaign journey thanks to donations to Facilities Development and former staff Miss Joy Debney’s legacy.
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.
