The aim of each trip is to teach the boys new skills which will be increased as they progress through Key Stage 2 and to provide them with numerous and varying experiences and team building opportunities. The planned residential trips are listed below: • Year 3 - a 2-day/1-night visit to Juniper Hall, Dorking • Year 4 - a 3-day/2-night visit to PGL, Marchants Hill, Surrey • Year 5 - a 4-day/3-night visit to Tapnell Farm, Isle of Wight • Year 6 - a 5-day/4-night visit to Bushcraft, Penshurst Place, Kent

Houses and Charity
Each term, the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson meet with Mrs Johnston to discuss the issues of the School, discuss any actions taken and receive her valuable feedback.
House System
At Surbiton High Boys’ Preparatory School, we actively encourage and support boys to participate in a range of fundraising activities. 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.
the reasons why the charity is important to them and the reasons why we should choose the charity. Once shortlisted, 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.
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 3 upwards) who are elected termly.
As a new initiative, termly Junior House Captains are selected from Year 3 boys.
The School Council meet weekly to discuss the views of the class, concerns and suggestions.
On an individual basis, boys also receive awards of bronze, silver, gold and platinum to celebrate their hard work and exemplary behaviour.
The House system is an important part of school life. Each boy belongs to one of three Houses – Arundel, Balmoral or 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’ and 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

How do I enrol my son in a club?
During the holiday periods, the gymnastics coaching staff run a Gymnastics Club. The sessions are divided into two age groups: KS1 and KS2, which will cater for all ages and abilities. We will work on the basics of movement and balance in KS1 and then move on to more advanced jumps, rolls and sequences in KS2. We will also introduce some pair and group work for both age groups, as well as some fun gymnastic-based games as part of the warm-up and cool-down.
