Not sure which one will be Better

Both schools are seems good and similiar results

Even this year gcse results identical

slight difference in Alevel compared with IB results

But location location location

Tonbridge seems easy and better train connectivity to London to get to work.

Facility wise tonbridge seems better

Colcgs alevel A*-A in science and Maths 54.5%
TGS IB level equivalent to A*-A in science and Maths 46.95%

Any one who moved from tonbridge to colchester or colchester to tonbridge ???

TGS Sunday times state school of the year , IB school of the year
IB really makes difference???

Colcgs ???

When you looked round both schools (which presumably you have) which one did you and your daughter prefer?

I'm also assuming you're out of Essex and Kent by the way you're writing it sounds like you're planning to move.

Yes we live in cambridgeshire and planning to move
Both schools have great teachers
But tonbridge has turnbridge wells and Sevenoaks nearby which us plus in location wise
Kent is very nice in infrastructure and good private schools just incase if you want to move later in 13 plus or in sixth form
We like the feel of tonbridge
Results bit low since they are full IB

But colchester in top 10 in recent league table
Tonbridge is not since they are in IB and their Level 5 not concidered as per ucas . But tgs says even their level 5 students got medicine seats in exeter and Leeds university.
Still confused

That post is very telling. It sounds to me like you want to go to Kent
