To anyone who has received outcome for Tonbridge School entrance exams in the past years can you please share when (specific date of you can!) in January you got them? Feels like a 2 month wait is long enough already wondering when we'll hear from them. TIA

The school told us they will send results by post in the middle of January. We are also waiting for the result for 2026.

Many thanks for your reply @Lilylol. Didn't know they were sending out results by post, that's good to know.

Hope all goes well for your son. 🤞

I asked last December via email. They replied, "As you live in the UK, you will receive the correspondence via post."

Good luck to your son!

My son received an offer a few years ago.
We got a letter about the 10-12 January as far as I remember. We decided on a different school in the end but later regretted our choice.

It's a lovely school , we hope DS will have the opportunity to move for 6th form. Good luck 🤞

@Lilylol thanks!

@Neptunetwenty thanks for that piece of info. Any minute detail is great for us as getting quite impatient here... also good to know your son is thinking of switching to TS for 6th form. Good luck to him too 👍

I heard from friends that they send unconditional offer by post in the UK. Others (provision offer etc) by email.

april2002 · 09/01/2024 08:19

Thanks for all the info, much appreciated! Guess they post out on Monday or Tuesday, ready to be delivered around Wednesday. Not long to go, also fingers crossed no email comes through from them.

Keep checking inbox. Offers could be by email as well. The waiting continues, we should hear within a week from now.

Lovedreaming · 10/01/2024 15:25

Result email came through in early Feb in the past. Good luck!

Lilylol · 10/01/2024 17:42

I checked with admission by email today. They said, " The 2026 letters will be coming out on Monday, 15th January."

It won't be tomorrow. Have a restful weekend and good luck!

Lilylol · 10/01/2024 17:43

Double confirmed it will be by email. Do need to wait for the post:)

Rennypie03 · 10/01/2024 18:14

Wishing you all GOODLUCK. I’m following the thread and catching the nerves too

april2002 · 10/01/2024 18:54

Oh thanks for that @Lilylol ! Right then, at least we know not to expect anything this week.

Thanks also to the others who have posted. Either way I'll come and update you all...

interesting to hear @Neptunetwenty , are you able to share which other school you went for and why you changed your mind?

april2002 · 15/01/2024 09:55

Welcome @LuluKentGirl! Nervously waiting for the email. No signs yet.

i emailed them to check timings and whether it was by post / email, they said it will be this afternoon 'via the portal' with follow-up letters by post

april2002 · 15/01/2024 10:50

Thanks, that gives us a couple of hours to relax. Make sure you all dig out your login details before then 👍

Thanks for the update. Hopefully they won't let us wait until the end of today.

april2002 · 15/01/2024 14:37

It's agony, isn't it? Takes me back to last October waiting for our 11+ results.
