Sussex House School
11+ Admissions Guide 2026

Sussex House School is an independent day school for boys aged between 8 and 13, founded in 1952. Since 1994 it has operated as an independent charitable trust, overseen by a board of trustees and supported by a team of advisory governors. The headmaster, who is one of the five trustees, was promoted to his current role from deputy head in 1994. Most teaching takes place in the school's main five-storey building, with an adjacent hall providing facilities for music and a gymnasium. The school has no outdoor space of its own, but makes use of local facilities for games and recreation. Most pupils come from families with professional and business backgrounds living within a five-mile radius of the school, and the pupils reflect the ethnic diversity of central London. The school aims to create an environment in which there is a sense of striving for learning, creativity and sporting achievement, and in which pupils feel a strong sense of belonging and personal involvement.

Boys may bring a phone to school but it must be handed in to the school office on arrival and collected on departure. Mobile phones cannot be used by boys during the school day.
