Boys’ Prep House System & Charity

The House System is a vital aspect of life at Surbiton High School. Each boy is a member of one of three Houses: Arundel, Balmoral, or Caernarvon.

HOUSE SYSTEM

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. TEach 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

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. We try, wherever possible, to ensure that the charity has some relevance to the pupils, staff or parents in our community.

SCHOOL COUNCIL

Every September, a Chairperson and Vice Chairperson are elected from Year 6. These two boys are joined by two representatives from each class (from Year 1 upwards) who are elected termly.

The School Council meet weekly to discuss the views of the class, concerns and suggestions.

Each term, the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson meet with a member of the SLT to discuss the issues of the School, discuss any actions taken and receive her valuable feedback.

The members of the School Council help with many charity events, through both the organisation and the running of the actual events.
