Surbiton High Boys' Preparatory School

Surbiton High Boys’ Preparatory School is a vibrant and successful Independent School for boys aged from four to eleven. It  is a happy school with a spirit of participation and a long tradition of education for individuals. Our pupils have fantastic opportunities for personal development, leadership and achievement. Boys are challenged to do their very best, and they have our total support in every endeavour. We have a superb record of academic achievement, but this is by no means the only measure of our success. We are educating boys to become well-rounded individuals who have a great sense of determination and self-belief, unique characters who make their impression on the world with confidence and certainty.

Learning at Surbiton is an exciting adventure. Our boys are explorers who look closely at the world, ask their own questions and make their own discoveries. We encourage them to take control of their learning at an early age, to think creatively, and to defend their opinions with clarity and confidence.

Our lessons are interactive and practical with an emphasis on teamwork, fun and skills-development. We promote lateral thinking, independence and responsibility in all areas of school life and beyond, allowing our boys opportunities to flourish as individuals.

Surbiton boys have a spirit of pride and ownership in their school community. They respond well to our relaxed and friendly atmosphere and they are happy to help others at every opportunity. We have excellent standards of discipline and a powerful sense of mutual respect at this school. All boys are expected to take responsibility for their behaviour and to consider the consequences of their actions.

Our comprehensive pastoral care system ensures a strong foundation of support, guidance and trust for everybody. We provide personal attention for all, because we know and value our boys as individuals with distinctive talents and needs. We monitor their progress carefully and help them to set challenging targets for ongoing improvement at every stage. Surbiton Preparatory School works in close partnership with parents at all times.

We are very well-supported by technology at the Boys' Prep School with a wireless network and laptop solution for the use of ICT. All classrooms benefit from an interactive whiteboard that enables the boys to become more involved in and stimulated by their learning through interactive activities and presentations. In addition, the boys have the opportunity to use ActivExpression handsets that enable them to immediately and individually immerse themselves in the activity and provide feedback and a summary of their understanding.
