Tonbridge Grammar School's three young choirs have been invited for the third successive year to perform at a special Christmas Carol Concert at Southwark Cathedral on Wednesday 28 November 2018 at 7.30pm as a fundraising venture for Barnardo's. Over 150 pupils will be raising the roof to begin their Christmas festivities from TGS Motet, Cantores and Junior Choirs. As well as singing their own pieces, the choirs will come together with five other schools to form a massed choir to sing music by Lin Marsh and a specially written carol by Motet director Adrian Pitts who will also conduct the combined forces.

On 26 September, a surprisingly sunny and warm day, a group of Year 13 TGS students accompanied by Mrs Blackstone, attended the 'Stepping Out with Carers' event in Penshurst Place.

The 50-strong Cantores Choir, under new director Benedict Collins Rice, has been busy putting the finishing touches to its programme for a joint concert with Royal Tunbridge Wells Orpheus Male Voice Choir in aid of the Hospice in the Weald on Saturday 13 October 2018.

Tonbridge Grammar School is delighted to be offering this subject specialism training course through the Kaizen Teaching School Alliance,  designed for teachers who are currently teaching Physics, French or Spanish outside of their specialism subject, or who wish to offer future teaching in one of these subjects. Starting in January 2019, this programme is also suitable for those returning to teaching. The face-to-face programme alongside online modules will improve both subject knowledge and classroom practitioner skills, allowing you to confidently teach up to GCSE. 

Since 2011, Tonbridge Grammar School has formed close links with Humanitarian charities in Swaziland and Malawi. We aim to engage with real life projects, helping local communities to support and thrive, without the need for constant financial aid. Since 2013, several teams of 6th form students have travelled to Malawi to promote cultural exchange and help build much-needed class rooms, playground facilities, a feeding centre and an assembly hall. 

Flared trousers, bright colours, crazy hair, toe-tapping disco music and a good helping of devilish humour transported audiences back to the 1970s during this year's whole school summer production 'Disco Inferno' written by Justin Sepple and presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International (Europe) on behalf of David Spicer Productions. 

TGS Motet Choir from Tonbridge Grammar School were invited to perform in the Music for Youth National Festival in Symphony Hall, Birmingham last week, receiving amazing feedback from the musical judges.
