Tonbridge’s state-of-the-art Barton Science Centre, which opened in the Spring of 2019, puts science and technology at the very heart of the school. One of the most ambitious developments to happen on the campus since the first science building was constructed in 1887, the three-storey centre combines new classrooms and latest technology with many original architectural features.
Named after British organic chemist Sir Derek Barton, an Old Tonbridgian who won the Nobel Prize 50 years ago in 1969, the Centre places Tonbridge at the cutting edge of school science. It helps the school to realise its ambitions of stimulating future generations in their studies and inspiring many to embark on scientific careers.
