Welcome to Rupert House
Rupert House is a happy and high-achieving independent Pre-Prep and Prep School for boys and girls aged 3-11 years. We stand proudly at the heart of the beautiful riverside town of Henley-on-Thames. From the moment that children enter our care they are encouraged to adopt a Growth Mindset learning the values of creativity, respect, courage and resilience that will enable them to stand tall in the world.
At the Heart of Henley
At Rupert House we are fortunate to be surrounded by a wealth of fantastic facilities with which we have built strong ties and collaborations. From the Rowing Club to the Rugby club, the local churches to the Kenton Theatre, the sports centre to the Cricket Club, our provision extends way beyond our school buildings and grounds.

Wraparound Care
Rupert House offers comprehensive wraparound care to support busy families and provide children with a happy, structured start and finish to their school day. Breakfast Club opens every weekday from 7.25am, giving children the opportunity to enjoy a cheerful breakfast with friends before spending time chatting, playing, or drawing under supervision until lessons begin at 8.25am. After-school care can be booked each term or half-term, with Pre-Prep pupils staying until 6pm to enjoy a snack and relax with friends, while Prep School pupils can attend Homework Club, with collection at 5pm.
A wide range of clubs and activities also take place during lunch breaks, before, and after school, encouraging pupils to explore new interests, develop skills, and build confidence. Offerings range from sports such as running and hockey to creative and academic pursuits like Create and Make, Think Tank, vocal club, and animation. Some clubs are run by school staff, while others are delivered by external specialists. In addition, Rupert House hosts holiday clubs during school breaks, providing further opportunities for enrichment and care throughout the year.

During the last week of term, The Easter Bunny hopped through the big blue door to set the children an egg-citing Easter hunt. Split into their houses and working in year groups, the children scrambled across the school grounds in search of brightly coloured bunnies. Once every last bunny had been found and the hunt was officially eggs-hausted, the Easter Bunny rewarded everyone with a well-earned Easter egg - because no bunny should leave empty-handed! A big thank you to the Friends of Rupert House for bringing the Easter magic to Rupert House. #HappyEaster #EasterBunny #EasterHunt #EasterEggs #RupertHouse #RupertHouseSchool

On Tuesday evening, Rupert House parents and families were treated to a spectacular House Music Extravaganza at Henley Town Hall. Following a competitive audition process, pupils from Years 3 to 6 delivered an outstanding evening of performances. From singing to instrumental pieces and even some dance routines, the depth of talent at Rupert House was truly impressive! With this year's theme of Royalty, each house entertained the audience with lively group renditions of Kings & Queens, Six, Dancing Queen and Prince Ali. The evening's performances were judged by three professional musicians, who ultimately crowned Sahara House as the winners - many congratulations to them! Well done to all the pupils who performed so confidently on stage. It was a wonderfully uplifting evening of music!
