School's self-portrait

Show/Hide
Sunningdale is a small mainly boarding school of around 100 boys. The unique family atmosphere means that the boys feel happy and secure and as a result are able to achieve their full potential. Our aim is to find each boy's strengths and give him the opportunity to shine in different areas of school life. Our academic record speaks for itself, with scholarships won on a regular basis. The structure of our forms means that boys move through the school at their own pace, challenged or supported where necessary. Three quarters of boys play at least one musical instrument; many play two or even three. The chapel choir sings on Sundays and occasionally at Old Boys' weddings. There is a pipe band which plays on Sports Day and at other events. As well as other drama productions, we produce a musical each year in which every boy takes part. The art department puts on a large exhibition each year and regularly wins awards at senior schools. We have a good reputation on the sports field and one of the benefits of being a small school is that almost all the boys get to represent the school in a team. This does wonders for their self confidence. There is a wide range of activities on offer from judo to juggling, clay pigeons to model making. The school has a strong boarding ethos and boys can weekly board in their first two years. Weekends are packed with activities to keep the boys stimulated and entertained. Four Academic and Outstanding Talent Scholarships are available each year.
