Homefield Preparatory School

Homefield Preparatory School (or simply Homefield) is a 3–13 private boys preparatory day school in Sutton, Greater London, England 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”.

Site development
As part of the 150th anniversary of the school in 2020, construction started on new developments for the school, including a new block of eight classrooms, a double level performance hall and dining room, new music and ICT facilities, a library hub and an all-weather sports pitch.

The £7 million project will have multiple eco-friendly features including solar panels, low-energy underfloor heating and a green roof. 10% more green space is expected to be gained.
