Dear Parents,
Having been to the Tonbridge School Nine Lessons and Carols service last weekend, I feel well and truly in the Christmas mood! So, as the end of term for all draws near, I wanted to wish our families best wishes for a peaceful and restful Christmas period.
This term, I have been delighted to hear how students have settled into their new schools which just emphasises to me the importance of making the correct school choices.
For next year, our students have already received offers at all levels from the following schools: Abingdon, Cheltenham Ladies College, Charterhouse, Cranleigh, Downe House, Epsom, Mayfield, Roedean, St Helen & St Katherine, St Mary’s Calne, St Edwards (Oxford) and Whitgift with others waitlisted for Wellington. There have also been follow up calls for Eton, Harrow, Radley, Tonbridge and Winchester, but most ISEB 13+ pre-test feedback only comes after the end of term / in the New Year and so we look forward to hearing of more successful applications in due course. In addition, many of our 6th form students applying to both the UK and the US are waiting to hear back from universities, including Cambridge and Imperial, after recent interviews too.
It is always a pleasure to catch up with students who have already moved to the UK and I recently spent time with students now at Benenden, Sevenoaks and Tonbridge. In addition, I am delighted to mention to our Singapore based families that I will be in Singapore 14-16 January 2025 and will be holding some open house sessions at a central location on these days if you would like to come and say hello. If so, ideally please let me know by 23rd December so that I can plan my schedule accordingly. I would certainly love to see any current and ex-students and their parents who are available and please mention to any friends who you think might be interested too.
Otherwise, I hope to see more of you in the UK in due course.
Finally, it just leaves me to wish you and your families all the best for the festive period from the whole Ellipsis team – me, Fiona H, + Anne, Clare, Emily, Fiona G, Hannah, Helen, Lauren, Laurence, Lisa, Lorna, Michael, Morar, Rebekah, Sally, Sophie, Stephen, Steve and Tony
