I have always found the school to be a cheerful and happy place and my daughter is extremely content and secure there. My daughter has thrived from the brilliant teaching staff, and great leadership from both Miss Musgrove and Ms Dawson.
The facilities are brilliant, with a swimming pool, gym, computer suites, dance studio, beautiful studio theatre and much more. I believe this to be a real asset as most primary schools I have visited have no where near the facilities that Sutton High school provides.
From what I have seen at the school gates the parents, students and staff are always happy and despite the usual ups and downs of school- they are extremely supportive of one another and I believe there to be a lovely family feel in the small prep school.
In my eyes Sutton High school provides a healthy balance of great academic achievements, huge vocational scope in Music, Art and PE and a safe, caring and nurturing place to be.
I recommend highly.
Updated review in lockdown - school has been AMAZING. So impressed with the head Mrs Dawson and the extraordinary effort and support to the girls - my daughter has not only had a full school curriculum but also virtual clubs! So much better than my son's school. Really good pastoral support too. Couldn't be better really.
They have both loved their time at Sutton High School, and I have particularly been impressed by the pastoral care offered by staff across the school. It’s comforting knowing they are in an environment where they are constantly offered support and guidance, whilst letting the girls’ independence grow.
Sutton High’s range of facilities and opportunities have always been great and my daughters have enjoyed a range of trips and activities throughout their school careers.
The wraparound care offered, even from nursery, was so helpful whilst my husband and I worked. My daughters would have time to complete their work, have a snack and enjoy their spare time with their friends until we were able to collect them.
Overall, Sutton High School has always kept my daughters happy, motivated and determined to be the best they can be.
Great school and teachers always happy to discuss girls welfare.
Our perception of the new head is that she is fantastic; hugely energetic, invested, communicative and very present, with a great vision for the school. Her staff are passionate about their roles as educators, are very approachable and really know their pupils and how to support and progress them. The school takes the students’ health and wellbeing very seriously, and the girls know that there is network of support available to them, should they need it.
Academically, they have high expectations of the girls, and encourage them to work to the very best of THEIR ability. And this is where I think Sutton High perhaps differs from other schools in the area. Our daughter got a place at the local grammar school, but in the end, we chose to send her to Sutton High. Financially, it was a very big decision (especially as we have two daughters!), but my husband posed the question, ‘Where do you think she will thrive more?’, and my instinctive answer was Sutton High.
The variety of opportunities in terms of sport, art, music, drama, STEM, trips etc are great and wide-ranging, and offer the chance for your daughter to find something that they really love and are good at. That’s a real bonus for the self-esteem when navigating the occasionally rocky path of teenager-hood!
Overall, as our daughter trots happily down to the station each morning, looking ahead to a school day filled with lovely friends, ‘kind teachers and amazing food’ (her words!) and lots of interesting learning opportunities, we feel we made the right decision.
this school is honestly the worst, if there was a business solely to traumatize and make young girls cry and feel cornered, alone and dismissed, this is the one!! only sadistic parents would send their kids here knowing what this school is like, please please please for the love of your children do not send them here unless u can afford eternal therapy for lifelong mental damage…
GO TO ANOTHER SCHOOL GIRLS ARE VERY MEAN
if you want to literally die then please go here
Kids crack jokes in classes and the teachers appreciate humour and never reprimand or act offended. Girls are genuinely respected by all staff.
Our daughter eventually made great friends. And she is continuously challenged academically and her grades are getting better every year. The school offers support lessons to GCSE students who are not on track and this has helpful.
Overall, it’s a well balanced school.
