Welcome to Rupert House (Landing)
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.

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.

Our amazing Year 1 and 2 children lit up the stage this week with their sparkling nativity, Bethlehem Ballroom! Their fun, imaginative twist on the traditional story mixed the hustle and bustle of Census-time Bethlehem with the excitement of a lively ballroom - all while staying true to the heart of the nativity.

A huge thank you to the Rainbow Theatre Company for coming to Rupert House yesterday and treating us to a wonderfully entertaining performance of Sleeping Beauty! The children enjoyed every moment - booing the baddie, cheering the hero, and laughing at all the classic panto slapstick. It was packed with sparkle, silliness, and audience participation - everything a proper pantomime should be! @rainbow.theatrelondon #SleepingBeauty #panto #RupertHouse #RupertHouseSchool
