Homefield Preparatory School is an independent school for boys in Sutton, in South London. The school established itself as "A Preparatory School for the Sons of Gentlemen”[1] and as giving “carefully graduated preparation for Public Schools and Royal Navy, either on the classical or on the modern side”[1] for boys aged 2½ to 13.
Homefield is a feeder school for many local independent senior schools, including King's College School, Charterhouse School, Dulwich College, Epsom College and St John's School, Leatherhead. It is a strong academic school with a high scholarship rate and a vast majority going on to public schools or high performing independent or state day schools such as Whitgift, Trinity School and Sutton Grammar. It has now just completed a new £1.8m building named 'The Sutherland Building' after the Old Boy Graham Sutherland.

The houses at Homefield 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. Mr J ‘Bert’ Ellis was introduced to the school by one of the Governors, Mr Frank Williamson, who saved the situation by lending money to the school on most generous terms.
Every week at the school, the school prepares a newsletter about the events of the week. Recently the school has provided the newsletter on the website, so less hard copies have to be printed.
