GCSE, IGCSE and A-level route for ages 13–18

Tonbridge serves pupils aged 13–18. Years 9–11 work toward GCSE and IGCSE qualifications; Sixth Form pupils choose A levels and may undertake an Extended Project Qualification. The planned admission of girls to Sixth Form from September 2028 does not describe a current 2026 place: girls will initially be day pupils, with boarding provision planned from 2030.

The main entry point is Year 9 at 13+, with registration, assessment and an offer process. The school encourages families to apply by 1 September of the year the pupil joins Year 6; later applications require an individual discussion.
