Welcome from the Head of Girls’ Prep

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Surbiton High Girl’s Preparatory School. In addition to high academic achievement, our belief is that every girl should have the environment and opportunities to be inspired to discover her own passions, explore new opportunities, and develop the confidence to be herself. Our highly skilled team of staff are committed to providing a broad, enriching education that goes far beyond the classroom, because we know that in these formative years, the chance to try, explore, and discover is the pathway to a lifelong love of learning.

At Surbiton High, our values of compassion, respect, courage, inquisitiveness and community are central to all that we do. We believe that excellence looks different for every girl, whether her interests lie in sport, the arts, science, leadership, or a passion still waiting to be discovered.  Our highly skilled and experienced staff strive to ensure that every girl feels seen, valued, and challenged and will have the encouragement, resources, and support to thrive.

Life at the Girl’s Prep is enriched not only through our ambitious curriculum and expansive co-curricular programme, but also through the strong connection our pupils feel to the wider school community. Our younger girls are inspired and supported by the older pupils, whose guidance and encouragement help them to grow in confidence and ambition.

From lessons in the classroom to performances on stage, competitive matches on the sports field, and service in the community, our girls are encouraged to grasp every opportunity that is available to them. This is a time for the girls to be inquisitive and experiment, to try new things with courage, and to discover where their talents and interests truly lie. We ensure that every girl, whatever her starting point or passion, can access the full breadth of experiences on offer and shape her own unique journey.

I warmly invite you to visit us and experience for yourself the energy, warmth, and joy that make Surbiton High Girl’s Prep so special.
