Introduction

 

Shrewsbury House School (SHS) is an academically selective boys’ school in the suburban area of Surbiton, Surrey. It was founded in 1865, which makes it one of the oldest preparatory schools in the UK, and occupies a beautiful 4.5-acre campus with a rich range of spacious facilities. [1]

 

Shrewsbury House offers excellent resources and support and pupils are expected to excel academically. A wide-ranging curriculum helps them achieve this, including relevant disciplines, such as science, humanities and technology, that both inspire and challenge learners of all interests and abilities.

 

The progressive in-class provision is enriched with a variety of co-curricular clubs and activities, allowing boys to hone their skills while developing their character and personality. The excellent standard of teaching and care results in harmonious relationships across the learning community, and all pastoral efforts are focused on securing the well-being of each child on campus.
