The Skinners' School

Kent, United Kingdom · built 1887

The Skinners' School (formally The Skinners' Company's Middle School for Boys and commonly known as Skinners'), is a British Grammar School with academy status for boys located in the town of Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England. Established in 1887, the school was founded by the Worshipful Company of Skinners (one of the 111 livery companies of the City of London) in response to a demand for education in the region. Today Skinners' remains an all-boys grammar school, awarded specialist status in science and mathematics. The current enrolment is 1119 pupils, of whom around 326 are in the sixth form. The first headmaster was Reverend Frederick Knott, after whom Knott House is named. The current headmaster is Edward Wesson. Skinners' boys generally take eleven GCSEs in year eleven (aged 15–16), and can study three or four A-levels in the sixth form. An Ofsted inspection in November 2021 graded The Skinners' School as "good".
