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.
