Letter from
Ms Haydon, Principal
At Surbiton High School we are fortunate
to boast a huge Co-curricular programme.
All the clubs, ensembles, teams and
societies are a major part of School life.
We are committed to providing an outstanding all round
education and life beyond the classroom is an essential part
of what we offer. We believe that Co-curricular activities
broaden horizons and instil a sense of adventure, leadership,
teamwork and decision-making, complementing what goes
on in the classroom. Details of all our activities can be found
in the pages of this booklet.
I hope your son will take advantage of the range of
Co-curricular interests available to him.
Ms Ann Haydon

Letter from Mrs Ralph,

We are very proud of the varied range of Co-curricular clubs
and activities that are on offer to our boys. School should be
a fun and enriching experience and we encourage boys to
develop their interests, share their passions and try

26 Tours and Trips
Residential
Trips
Throughout Key Stage 2 the boys have the opportunity to take part in one of the residential
trips which usually take place during the Summer term. The aim of each trip is to teach the
boys new skills which will be added to as they progress through Key Stage 2 and to provide
them with numerous opportunities. The planned residential trips are listed below:
• Year 3 - a 2 day/1 night visit to Juniper Hall, Dorking (approximately £150)
• Year 4 - a 3 day/2 nights visit to PGL, Little Canada, Isle of Wight (approximately £320)
• Year 5 - a 4 day/3 nights visit to Stella Maris, France (approximately £430)
• Year 6 - a 5 day/4 nights visit to Bushcraft, Dorset (approximately £480)
We have gradually increased the length of the trips as the boys move through the School to ensure
that as they get older they become more confident with staying away from their families.

Year 3

This is the first residential for
Year 3 boys and the first

name but a few activities.

French Trip
Every year, pupils in Year 5 are given the
opportunity to take part in a 4-day-long
trip in Northern France, near Le Touquet.
The aim of the trip is for the boys to
experience being immersed in a foreign
country, to develop their linguistic skills
and learn more about the cultural aspects
of France. During their stay, boys will have
both educational and fun experiences;
they will develop more independence
and strengthen friendships outside of
the classroom.

30 Our Houses
House System
The House system is an important part of
School life. Each of the boys belongs to
one of three Houses – Arundel, Balmoral
and Caernarvon. There are a number of
competitions across the year in which the
boys compete against each other while
representing their House. These contests
may vary each term. The year culminates
in a House Sports Day, in which all pupils
from both the Girls’ Prep and the Boys’
Prep Schools participate.
Each House is led by a teacher and a
House Captain and Deputy. The Year 6
boys are given the opportunity to put
themselves forward as the most eligible
candidates to lead their House to victory.
The elected captains are responsible for
leading their House for the rest of the year.
Throughout each term, all the boys in the
School are keen to receive House points that
go towards the weekly totals. On an individual
basis, boys also receive awards of bronze, silver,
gold and platinum to celebrate their hard work
and exemplary behaviour.

Charities
CLUBS AND
ACTIVITIES
At Surbiton High Boys’
Preparatory School we actively
encourage and support boys
to participate in a range
of fundraising activities.
Numerous fundraising events
are held and celebrated
throughout the year,
reinforcing the School’s motto,
‘May love always lead us’ and
supporting the ethos to serve
and respect others.
At the start of the
academic year,
all boys are given
the opportunity to
nominate a charity for
the School to support
over the course of
a term. They are
required to present to
the School Council
a short presentation,
detailing the reasons
why the charity is important to them
and the reasons why we should choose
the charity. The School Council
then proceed to shortlist four or five
charities. These charities will then be
presented in front of the whole school.
The pupils then select three charities
for the following year to support.
We try, wherever possible, to invite
a representative from the charity to
present an assembly to the School in
order to broaden the boys’ knowledge
of the importance of the charity. We
also actively encourage and celebrate
individual boys’ fundraising initiatives
through assemblies.

School Council
Every September, a Chairperson and Vice
Chairperson are elected from Year 6. These three
boys stay on the Council all year along with two
representatives from each class (from Year 1
upwards) who are elected termly by their class
as Form and Vice Form Captains.
The School Council meet on a Tuesday morning in
the library to discuss the views of the class,
concerns and suggestions.
Each term the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson
meet with Mrs Ralph to discuss the issues of the
School, discuss any actions taken and receive her
valuable feedback.
The members of the Council help with many
charity events, through both the organisation
and the running of the actual events.
