Sunningdale School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sunningdale School is a family run boys' preparatory school of around 100 pupils. Founded in 1874 it stands in 25 acres of mature gardens and grounds. The school is situated in Sunningdale, Berkshire, close to London.

The school has its own chapel, and a house in Normandy, France to which each boy goes for a week three times during his time at Sunningdale. The school's major sports are football, rugby and cricket in the Michaelmas, Lent and summer terms respectively. Boys also play tennis, squash, Eton Fives, basketball, indoor hockey, golf and table tennis against other schools. Fives has been played at Sunningdale since at least 1892 and the school has 3 courts on site. They also compete in athletics, cross-country, fencing, judo and air rifle shooting. There is a heated indoor swimming pool which means that the boys can swim all year round. The sports hall includes two full-length cricket nets and an air rifle range. There is also a 7-hole golf course in the grounds. Boys can also ride and do clay pigeon shooting and in their last term they do an outward bound course on Dartmoor. Indoor activities include chess, model railway, cooking, bridge, snooker, Scottish dancing, drama, model making and board games.

The school is known as a feeder for Eton, Harrow, Marlborough, Radley, Stowe and Wellington. Very nice!

1 boy won an Eton Scholarship. Great Success!

Some boys are also complete dicks, such as Ansell, who thinks Harry Potter is true, and Isaac Inglis, who is a stupid American fatty.
