Being a Tudorian is about having the confidence to shape the world around you with generosity and openess. In many ways, our motto should be ‘WE have that WE may give’ …

Club sq5

The Tudor Hall ethos means that individuals ('I') will flourish by knowing they are part of a strong and long-lasting community (‘we’). Being part of Tudor Hall means benefitting from advantages and opportunities that you are impassioned to pay forward.

Old Tudorians

Old Tudorians (OTs) are an exceptionally close-knit community. The strong bonds formed at Tudor last a lifetime, no matter how much time has passed or where in the world they are living.

The OT community is thriving, with OTs meeting regularly at events held across the UK which bring together current and former staff, Tudorians and families.

OTs continue to feel a strong connection with Tudor and live out the school motto by offering current pupils work experience, internships and careers advice.

Community Outreach, Volunteering and Development

School outreach

Tudor Hall has a well-established outreach and enrichment programme working with local schools. Each year, we work with around 20 state schools giving approximately 550 hours of staff time to support hundreds of pupils in our local area. We provide activities and events in a range of curriculum areas including modern foreign languages, science, geography, drama, music, art and sport to ensure our wider community benefits from our facilities and expertise.

Volunteering & charity

‘Habeo ut dem’ is at the very heart of our Sixth Form Tudor Outreach and Enrichment Programme. We believe that our pupils learn a great deal from working in the local community and this programme encourages them to consider how they can create impact in the community by offering their time and skills to others.

When Tudor was founded by the Reverend and Mrs Todd in 1850, the 'give' might have been thought of in charitable terms. 170 years later, current Tudor girls reinvent giving on a daily basis.

Development & support

Launched in October 2021 and in the spirit of our motto ‘I have that I may give,’ Campaign 2025 aims to raise money to offer seven fully-funded places for local girls by 2025. Our alumnae and their families recognise the significant impact of a Tudor Hall education, and through their support of this campaign, will ensure that access to this is widened within our local community.

Wendy Griffiths was Headmistress at Tudor Hall between 2004 and 2021. The bursary fund in her name recognises both her commitment to girls’ education, as well as her belief in the importance of giving back through bursary provision and developing partnerships with local state schools.

Make a donation

We are grateful for gifts of any size. Single gifts have an immediate impact, while regular giving and legacies help us to prepare for the future. Whatever support you are able to give will help us to widen access to those who may not otherwise have the opportunity to experience a Tudor Hall education. Donate online or fill out the Gift Form, or find out about other ways of giving.

History of Tudor Hall - our story

Founded in 1850 by The Reverend Todd, Tudor Hall is one of the oldest girls’ boarding and day schools in Britain.

The School flourished within the grandeur of a mock Tudor mansion in south London called Red House. Renowned for its intellectually stimulating education, Tudor Hall attracted distinguished professors as lecturers.

Relocating to a more spacious setting in Chislehurst, Kent in 1908, the school welcomed Nesta Inglis as a pupil in 1910. Overcoming challenges, including temporary closure in 1935, Inglis revived Tudor Hall as Headmistress later that year. During the Second World War the School community found solace in Burnt Norton, near Chipping Campden, where pupils, parents and staff used the school to escape air-raids.

Wykham Park, with its captivating grounds and distinctive buildings, became Tudor Hall's permanent, cherished home from 1946.

Over nearly 175 years, Tudor Hall’s mission has been consistent: to foster academic and personal development within a supportive environment, in which challenge is embraced and considered a vital part of the learning journey.
