There is a very active 'Student Voice' at Tanbridge which involves over 100 student representatives, who are actively involved in interviewing potential staff, leading on environmental and charitable issues and helping new pupils make the transition from primary to secondary school. In addition to this, the school was one of the first schools in West Sussex to achieve a Rights Respecting Schools Award (UNICEF).
Technology is also very modern at the school, with SMART boards in every classroom, nine dedicated IT suites in addition to another five computer areas and iPads to enhance learning. Since 2008, the school has had a Virtual Learning Environment and Moodle. The school also has its own Learning Resource Centre.
The annual school production is held every summer at The Capitol Theatre in Horsham; West Side Story (2008) Sweeney Todd (2009) Les Miserables (2010), Evita (2011), The Phantom of the Opera (2012) and Miss Saigon (2013) were all sell out shows.
