Open Events

Prospective Year 7s

Thank you for your interest in Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys. We look forward to welcoming you at one of our open events. Booking is essential for all of our open mornings but is not necessary for the Open Evening, which takes place at the Tunbridge Wells campus. However, please note that this annual event is always very well attended and booking IS required for the Headteacher's talks.

Please note that the open events for 2025 entry have all taken place and we are unable to provide private tours of the school outside of our open events.

Year 7s, 2026 Intake

Our next round of Open Events is intended for families of prospective Year 7s, September 2026 entry. We typically hold a number of Open Mornings at both campuses (we held 12 open mornings between June and October 2024 – six dates at each campus – for September 2025 entry). In addition, we hold one Open Evening at the Tunbridge Wells campus in October.

The open morning dates for September 2026 entry are not yet confirmed, but are likely to be held in June/July and in September/October 2025.

Open Mornings
Our morning events begin at 08:50 with a brief address by Headteacher Amanda Simpson at 09:00, followed by a tour of the school in small groups, each group led by current students. Tours last approximately an hour.

Open Evening: Thursday 2nd October 2025, 16:00–19:00, Tunbridge Wells campus
Our Open Evening is held once a year at the Tunbridge Wells campus and is always well attended. Families are invited to tour the school and speak to students and subject teachers. If you wish to hear from Headteacher Amanda Simpson, you will need to book tickets for admission to the Main Hall, otherwise booking is not necessary to simply attend the Open Evening. Headteacher's talk at 17:00; repeated at 18:00. Booking links will be available here September 2025.
