At Rupert House, we welcome boys and girls aged 3 to 11 into our happy and high-achieving school. In September 2020, the school became fully co-ed – enabling both boys and girls to stay for the duration of their primary education from Nursery through to Year 6. Since making this move, Rupert House has seen pupil numbers rise 29 per cent.
From the moment a child enters our care, they are encouraged to adopt a Growth Mindset, enabling them to believe that their skills and abilities are not set in stone. Setbacks are reframed as hurdles to overcome, and the children are encouraged and rewarded for stepping out of their comfort zone in their learning and for their willingness to embrace challenge. Our small class sizes enable us to focus on each child as an individual, helping them to climb their own ladder to success – whatever their goal may be!
Academic and co-curricular success at Rupert House goes from strength to strength, as we prepare pupils for entry to senior school at both 11+ and 13+. Once again, our Year 6 pupils this year all obtained places at their first-choice senior schools, with a total of 7 scholarships and awards won by the cohort of 22 children in Academic, Performing Arts, Sport and Art categories, and considerable success in the 11+ Grammar School assessments and the ISEB Pretest exams.
Our location, in the heart of Henley-on-Thames, enables Rupert House to provide a whole host of opportunities for our pupils. We have our own newly revamped onsite forest school and playing fields, as well as an all-weather pitch, tennis and netball courts. Our close links with Henley Cricket, Rugby, Tennis and Rowing Clubs and Henley Leisure Centre mean that our pupils have access to expert coaching and fantastic facilities on a regular basis, both during sports lessons and after-school clubs. Children in Years 3 to 6 play regular sports fixtures against nearby prep schools, and have the opportunity to experience a variety of river sports including rowing, paddleboarding, kayaking and bell-boating. In addition to this, the Town Hall and The Kenton Theatre are just a short walk away and are professional settings in which pupils are regularly given the opportunity to display their skills in music and the performing arts.
There are over 50 extracurricular activities to choose from at Rupert House, including cricket, golf, rugby, tennis, ballet, breakdancing, cross-country, orchestra, design technology, animation, paddle-boarding, robotics, rowing and drama. We offer wraparound care from 7.30 am to 5.00 pm and have a number of minibus routes in order to make sure Rupert House is accessible to everyone.
