Our take
Independent boys prep school in Sutton for ages 4–13. Selective entry.
- Families looking for a prep school covering ages 4–13.
- Parents who want a single-sex environment for their son.
- Children who can demonstrate strong academics at entry assessment — this is a selective school.
- Selective entry — assume some form of assessment at the relevant entry point. Plan tutoring or familiarisation early if needed.
- SEND provision isn't documented in our profile. If your child has an EHCP or specific learning needs, ask admissions about case-by-case capacity before applying.
- Single-sex (boys). Comfortable for some children, less so for others — worth a visit on a normal teaching day rather than only an open-day showcase.

Recent coverage
Homefield Preparatory School, a boys' independent school in Sutton, Surrey, underwent a significant £7 million redevelopment between December 2019 and June 2022. This project added 10% more green space and included a new block with 14 classrooms, a performance hall, dining room, kitchen, music facilities, a STEAM/Computing suite, a two-floor library hub, and a multi-use games area. In 2024, the school reported 36 external scholarships across academic, music, sport, and art disciplines. Over the past four years, 50% of Year 6 boys received at least one offer from selective local grammar schools, and 289 offers were made to top-ranking senior independent schools in London and Surrey. (findmyschool.uk) The Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) conducted a progress monitoring inspection on 21 March 2025, confirming that the school met the Independent School Standards. An earlier ISI inspection in September 2024 identified gaps in safeguarding record-keeping and governance training, which the school addressed promptly. (findmyschool.uk) As of April 2026, Mrs. Gemma Anderson serves as the headteacher of Homefield Preparatory School.
