About

I am delighted to be welcoming our class of 2031 to Tanbridge House School, and to our wonderful school community.

As your child's new Headteacher from September 2026, it is my job to ensure that they thrive over the next five years and that our school continues to be a place where learning and personal development go hand in hand, and where your child can truly become the best that they can be. You will notice that I talk a lot about our core values of Care, Kindness and Achievement.

However these are what makes our school so fantastic and inspiring and I hope that you and your child will embrace these values fully too. They underpin all that we do here at THS. For now, please do take a look through this information portal to ensure you are prepared for your start with us in September.

I m Mrs Ryan, your child's new Leader of Year, and I m so excited to be working with you and your child as they start their journey with us.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
