Due to current circumstances, residentials trips are subject to change. Below are the residentials that the boys have been on in previous years.

Residential Trips

Throughout Key Stage 2, the boys have the opportunity to take part in one of the residential trips which traditionally take place during the Summer Term. 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 (approximately £150)

• Year 4 - a 3-day/2-night visit to PGL, Little Canada, Isle of Wight (approximately £320)

• Year 5 - a 4-day/3-night visit to Stella Maris, France (approximately £430)

• Year 6 - a 5-day/4-night visit to Bushcraft, Hampshire (approximately £480)

Year 3 Juniper Hall

This is the first residential for Year 3 boys and the first overnight adventure for many. We have a marvellous time taking part in various activities such as hiking up Box Hill, water infiltration experiments, sand experiments and mammal traps, to name but a few activities.

Little Canada, Isle of Wight Year 4 PGL

Little Canada provides the perfect waterside location to experience a range of land and water-based activities on the Isle of Wight. The centre’s facilities are located in a central area surrounded by the accommodation.

The boys will have access to a fantastic range of land-based activities such as abseiling, climbing, zip wire and Jacob’s Ladder, all within the grounds of the centre. In addition, there is also the opportunity to take part in various water sports which are just a few minutes’ walk away on the beach or landing stage.

Year 5 French Trip

Pupils in Year 5 are given the opportunity to take part in a four-day trip to Northern France, near Le Touquet. The aim of the trip is for the boys to experience being immersed in a foreign country, to develop their linguistic skills and learn more about the cultural aspects of France. During their stay, boys will have both educational and fun experiences, developing greater independence and strengthening friendships away from the classroom.

Year 6 Bushcraft

In the Summer Term of Year 6, the boys have a residential trip which is organised in conjunction with the Bushcraft Company and consists of five days and four nights sleeping under canvas! The course combines traditional bushcraft workshops including learning to light fires (under supervision), building shelters and cooking their own food with other adventurous activities.

House System

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 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.

As a new initiative, termly Junior House Captains are selected from Year 3 boys.

On an individual basis, boys also receive awards of bronze, silver, gold and platinum to celebrate their hard work and exemplary behaviour. 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. They are required to give a short presentation to the School Council, detailing the reasons why the charity is important to them and the reasons why we should choose the charity. The School Council then shortlist four or five charities. 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. Charities

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 Mrs Johnston 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.

English and Maths Enrichment

As part of our commitment to providing the best educational opportunities for the individual pupils within our School, we are planning to run a number of Breakfast and After School Mathematics and English Clubs. Throughout the year, boys will be invited to attend the session most suited to their needs.

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.
