Boys’ Prep Entry Process

RECEPTION ENTRY – SEPTEMBER 2026

We have very limited spaces for Reception 2026 entry. Should you be interested in a place, please contact Mr Daniel Stone, Head of Admissions, at admissions@surbitonhigh.com for further information.

RECEPTION ENTRY – SEPTEMBER 2027

Registration for entry to Reception at our Boys’ Prep School for 2027 can be made at any time (but not before birth). Upon receipt of the completed application form and the non‑returnable fee of £200 (or £250 for overseas applicants), you will be invited to attend a small group ‘Stay and Play’ session.

A formal confirmed offer will follow, and places need to be accepted by the deadline stated in the offer letter. On receipt of the acceptance form and payment of the £1000 deposit, it will become a Confirmed Place. When confirmed pupil numbers reach our maximum class size, we will then add your son’s details to our waiting list and a confirmed place will be offered, where possible, after the acceptance deadline.

7+ ENTRY (OCCASIONAL PLACES) – SEPTEMBER 2027 ONWARDS

Each year, we have a few occasional places in our Year 3 cohort, also known as 7+. Whilst there is a formal deadline and process outlined below, we may have availability outside of these times, so we still welcome you to apply and contact the Admissions team.
  • Registrations for entry to Year 3 at our Boys’ Prep School should be made by 12.00 midday on Monday 2 November 2026. There is a non-refundable application fee of £200 (or £250 if applying from overseas).
  • The Entrance Assessment will take place on Thursday 19 November 2026.
  • As part of the admissions process, we will contact your son’s current school prior to the assessment to request a confidential report.
  • The assessments will comprise Mathematics and English components. The Mathematics assessment includes number operations, fractions, and shapes, whilst the English assessment involves reading aloud, creative writing, and comprehension. Both assessments are standardised and age appropriate. On the same day as the assessment, he will also spend time in our classrooms as part of a taster day.
  • We aim to inform all parents of the outcome of their sons’ application as soon as possible.
  • Places must be accepted by the deadline stated in the offer letter. Acceptance paperwork should be returned to the school, and the non-refundable £1,000 deposit paid via BACS to secure the place.

ENTRY INTO OTHER YEAR GROUPS

  • We occasionally have spaces that become available in other year groups. Please get in touch with the Admissions Department by completing our enquiry form to ascertain the availability in the relevant year group before applying. Candidates applying outside of standard entry points are required to sit an age-appropriate assessment.

Surbiton High Boys’ Prep did wonders for my son. It provided a holistic approach to education which not only emphasised on excelling in academic ability but also provided an extremely nurturing environment for him to develop and grow.
