From the Tomlinscote School
Tomlinscote is a very popular and highly effective school where students make good progress regardless of where they start. Each student can realise their potential and grow into a successful adult in an environment that is committed to being joyful and caring. I'm glad you're here and I hope our website will help you get a sense of the excellent instruction Tomlinscote School provides. Being the Principal of such a successful and active school makes me incredibly proud. Whatever their starting grounds, Tomlinscote students achieve exceptional progress because of our school's long history of academic distinction. This was demonstrated by the fact that 24% of all entrants received grades 7-9 and 79% of our students received the new level pass 4鈥�9 in English and Math this year. To guarantee that our pupils are "Inspired to Learn," Tomlinscote places a specific emphasis on four learning-related factors. There are so many fascinating options for our pupils to be part in, and as we collaborate closely with the Sixth Form College Farnborough under The Prospect Trust, these chances will continue to grow. Tomlinscote's goal is crystal clear: we want to rank among the nation's top institutions. The Tomlinscote community is dedicated to giving each student a joyful and nurturing atmosphere where he or she can realise their potential and grow into well-rounded, successful people. A firsthand visit to Tomlinscote and the opportunity to experience our school during a typical working day are incomparable. Whether you are a student, parent, or visitor, you are more than welcome to join one of our monthly school visits. I am looking forward to seeing you.
