Welcome to Sutton High where courage, truth and joy flourish

Courage, truth and joy

Life at Sutton High Juniors is always exciting!

Sutton High Nursery and Prep School is the perfect place for your daughter’s educational journey to begin. Every day our girls learn with joy, with specialist teachers cherishing each girl’s individuality, and a fantastic range of facilities including our on-site swimming pool, dance studio and science labs right at their fingertips. Our girls also benefit from our outdoor spaces with regular Forest School sessions starting in Nursery.

Alongside our excellent academic results, we also have an award-nominated pastoral initiative: ‘Brains Matter’. Our pupils learn about their ‘fantastic elastic brains’, how thoughts and feelings can change it, and how to look after it. This initiative has been developed alongside our Book Club, our Positive Pod, where girls can drop in any time to talk about their feelings, and Big Sister/Little Sister, where our younger pupils are paired with older Prep girls to help ease their transition into school.

At Sutton High, 10+ is the new 11+ as all girls in Year 6 are given automatic places into our Senior School, meaning that they can continue being part of the Sutton High family.

Sutton High School GDST is vibrant and diverse, and our girls are proud to be part of our energetic and forward-thinking community. At the heart of our school are the core values of courage, truth and joy.

EDUCATION CORNER PODCAST

Interviews and insights from leading figures in education

“We have crafted this careful environment where there is academic rigour, academic aspiration, but also a sense of community - and we often call ourselves a family.”

Education Corner Podcast interview with Olivia Buchanan describing the school’s ethos.

When discussing Falcons Prep’s celebration of Black History Month, she announces: “As a school we take this very seriously. We continue to review and reflect and want to embed the recognition, celebration and education of all cultures, identities and faiths within this school. So, we have an ongoing commitment to diversity everyday beyond just this month.”

When asked for the key characteristics of a Falcons’ boy, Olivia states: “We don’t have a type. We aren’t looking for any particular strength or interest in a boy. We want our boys to be curious, energetic, kind and happy. We look for boys that we know are going to thrive in this environment and be able take advantage of everything we have to offer.”
