This family run school genuinely has the feel of being one big, happy, extended family. With decades of experience as a boys only prep school, Sunningdale really understands what makes boys tick. With just over 100 pupils, everyone is included and each boy is really known, so they are able to get the best out of everyone, whether in the classroom, on the cricket pitch or harvesting their veg patch. Busy weekends make full boarding a popular option (90% board) but with a bus leaving from Parsons Green every Monday morning, weekly boarding works well too. Sunningdale boys are welcomed by all the top schools, Eton, Charterhouse, Radley, as they are so well prepared both academically and socially with a real zest for life and an enthusiasm for joining in.
