Saint Ronan's School
When we designed our website, we wanted it to serve two main purposes: to keep our school community up to date with what is happening and to communicate to those outside a little more about who we are, what we stand for and what we are up to! Whatever your reason for looking at the website, I do hope that it conveys something of what makes Saint Ronan’s such a special place.
Saint Ronan’s was founded in 1883 in Worthing and moved to Hawkhurst in 1946, after war time evacuation to Devon. Over the years, it has evolved into a co-educational day and flexi-boarding school for children from 3 to 13+. It is set in the magnificent Tongswood estate, which offers 250 acres of excitement and adventure. The centre of it all is Tongswood House, a large and rambling Victorian mansion which was once the home of the Gunther family of ‘Oxo’ fame.

Winner This award is for continued excellence. ‘It recognises more than academic achievement, but innovation, imagination and efforts to develop children in ways that go beyond the league tables’.
The wellbeing initiative is specific to ways the school has improved mental health of the children during this period. This relates to the work of the community in the daily Radio and TV programmes during lockdown.
Finally, and ironically for a School that has no ‘Marketing department’, we were delighted to see recognition for maintaining and enhancing the reputation of St R. through marketing! This award recognises the Radio and TV as our strategy to promote the pastoral side of the school to a wider community. Sharing the ‘magic’! Marvellous.
'They do things just that bit differently at Saint Ronan's, delivering a first class education with dollops of humour and eccentricity'
