Homefield Preparatory School


Homefield Preparatory School is a 3–13 boys, Christian, independent preparatory day school in Sutton, Greater London, England. It was established in 1870.
In the early years of its history, it was described as "A Preparatory School for the Sons of Gentlemen” and as giving “carefully graduated preparation for Public Schools and Royal Navy, either on the classical or on the modern side”.

House system

The school has a house system consisting of four 'Houses', which are named after former headmasters with the exception of Ellis which is named for Mr. J 'Bert' Ellis who assisted with the move to the current site in the 1960s. Ellis was introduced to the school by one of the Governors, Frank Williamson, who saved the situation by lending money to the school on most generous terms. They each have a colour representing them.
