Welcome to IMPACT at Tonbridge School, a suite of academically rigorous courses for UK and international students aged 12-17.
In today’s competitive world, young people need more than subject knowledge alone. Our programmes augment school-based learning, supporting students in extending their subject-based knowledge, developing their transferable skills and exposing them to different ways of thinking and working. At a formative stage, we give students the confidence, perspective and experience to make informed choices about their next steps, enhancing their potential to make an IMPACT in the world.
Headmaster's Welcome
It is a pleasure to welcome young people and their families from around the world to IMPACT, the Tonbridge School Summer Programme.
Our programme is a chance to learn, explore and connect in an inspiring environment, where you will enjoy both a historic campus and a lively and international summer community. Tonbridge is where learning comes to life.
We want students to be curious about the world, confident in trying something new, and willing to think independently and engage with different ideas and perspectives.
Alongside your academic studies, you will have opportunities to develop new skills, take on challenges, enjoy a wide range of activities and make new and lasting friendships.
We are excited to welcome you.
James Priory,
Headmaster
