Shrewsbury House Prep School Surbito

[Joanna2345]

Hi there,

I am looking for any information on Shrewsbury House Prep School in Long Ditton for my DS.

He is currently at a co-ed prep but we want to find somewhere more sporty but wondered if Shrewsbury House Prep is very academic and pressured as we want to strike a good balance.

Any thoughts welcome!🙏

I would say it has a fairly broad range of academic ability and doesn’t just cater for the top achievers. My son is very happy there.

Thank you this is helpful 🙏

We really liked the school during our tour and received an offer for DS. Hopefully, it will be a right choice.

Would thoroughly recommend SHS. Our son is currently there and loving it, as are we his parents. Very sporty, but inclusive. And academic without being a hot house.

I am hesitating between Felton Fleet, Milbourne Lodge and Shrewsbury house. My boy is 5, going into Year 1 in September. They all have a space for him. I am edging towards Shrewsbury house which now will be in Surbiton for all kids. From parents who have their kids there, are you happy? I am slightly concerned about it being boys only... it's wild for where I come from as I am from Central Europe :) Is there more bullying as its boys only? Does it create a strange dynamic? I liked the school facilities and the small classes ...

Where will you be living? I think boys only is fine. But shrewsbury ending at 13 starts to shut the door on the more local 11+ traditional options? And shrewsbury and milbourne are both less nurturing than some of the other options (so boys move between other schools due to this). Feel free to PM x
