Introduction

 

Surbiton High School is an independent day school for girls aged 4–18 and boys aged 4–11. It is situated in Surbiton, in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, and consists of a prep school for boys and a prep school, senior school and sixth form for girls.

 

The school’s facilities are spread across several different locations, with the main school buildings and assembly rooms being clustered in the centre of Surbiton and the boat house and sports grounds further afield in Teddington and Hinchley Wood respectively.

 

Surbiton High School was the first school opened under the Church Schools Company and, today, remains part of United Learning, as the Company is now known.  Regardless of this strong Christian heritage, the modern school accepts pupils from all faiths and backgrounds.

 

Surbiton High School offers a broad academic curriculum, offset by a wide range of co-curricular activities. Recently, 79% of all GCSE grades were in the top 9–7/A*–A range, and 94% of all results were graded 9–6/A*–B. The school performs particularly well in modern languages, STEM subjects and drama and the creative arts.
