About The Skinners' School
The Skinners’ School is an all-boys grammar school with academy status in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent. The pupil roll is around 1120, with more than 350 students in the sixth form.
The Skinners’ School was founded in 1887 by the Worshipful Company of Skinners, one of 108 livery companies in the City of London, in response to a demand for education in the Tunbridge Wells area. Over the years the school site has been developed. Byng Hall, acquired in 2003, led to the development of the school’s music and drama offering, with the Thomson Theatre opening in October 2008. A new £2.5m sports complex opened on the main site in September 2012 and the Mitchell Building in 2020, home to the English department, Library and Sixth Form Centre
