Information about the school

The School Context Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys, also known Boys Grammar or TWGSB was originally founded in 1956 as a technical school and later became a grammar school in 1982. It is one of the largest grammar schools in England, with over 1800 students and approximately 160 staff split across two sites.

Whilst we are Boys Grammar School, we warmly welcome female students in the Sixth Form.

Our philosophy at TWGSB is that education is about personal development and should give young people every opportunity to explore and learn about the world around them.

Vision, Values and Ethos of our school With our vision to be ‘the best selective boys’ school in West Kent’ our school community embodies a culture of all round excellence, where education is about developing the individual to explore, nurture their skills and talents and achieve their fullest potential.

The strong sense of a vibrant community is tangible to those who walk into our school, talk to our students and staff and experience first-hand the sense of pride in the school.

We are currently undergoing a period of transformational change benefitting from a multi-million pound investment in Tunbridge Wells and a brand new building at our Sevenoaks campus, which opened in September 2021. In September 2025 Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys will be one of the largest boys Grammar schools in the country. Here we all share the same vision: 'To be the best selective boys’ school in West Kent' and our journey towards achieving this continues to be an exciting one.

Would you like to be a part of this?

We can offer you the opportunity to work with highly able young people in a supportive, well-equipped and forward-thinking school. We offer a friendly and inclusive working environment and the chance to be part of a fantastic multidisciplinary team, who work hard and support each other to deliver personalised, bespoke education & care.

You will benefit from a positive working environment, with strong support for professional development and specialist teaching rooms. We aim for high standards and the pursuit of academic excellence, helping every student to reach their full potential through the development of skills, concepts and knowledge, within the framework of a caring community. Relationships between staff and students are based on trust, mutual respect and a determination to succeed.

Living and working in Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks Both campuses are in an ideal location in which to live and work and are within 45 minutes of London by train, and are well served by Gatwick Airport.

The elegance of the Pantiles with its variety of excellent shops and restaurants, the beauty of the surrounding countryside, especially the High Weald, and the wide range of cultural and sporting facilities ensure that there is much to encourage even the most dedicated professional to enjoy some relaxation.

The historic and ancient town of Sevenoaks is closer to London than Tunbridge Wells. It is another popular place to live, offering many of the opportunities of the capital while located in the Garden of Kent. Lose yourself in wonderful Knole Park, with its wandering wild deer and historic house and end up on Sevenoaks high street in one of its lovely restaurants or cafes.

And if you don’t fancy living in either area, the surrounding villages provide excellent residential property within a commutable distance.
