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.

Admissions
Applying to Rupert House is very straightforward. The first step is to call our Registrar, Arlette Halfhead on 01491574263 or email her at admissions@ruperthouse.co.uk to arrange a convenient date to visit, to check availability of places, or to discuss any aspect of the admissions process.
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.

We've had a little fun jumping on the AI caricature trend this week - but it's about more than just a popular moment on social media. At Rupert House, we are a forward-thinking school that embraces technology creatively and responsibly. Earlier this week, for Safer Internet Day, we spoke with the children about artificial intelligence - how it can be an exciting and powerful tool, but also one that must be used thoughtfully and safely. Understanding AI is part of preparing our pupils for the world they are growing up in. So, in that spirit, meet Arlette Halfhead, our Head of Admissions and the friendly first face of Rupert House for many families beginning their journey with us. Knowledgeable and always delighted to help, Arlette is here to answer your questions and arrange a visit so you can experience the magic of Rupert House for yourself. Our next Open Morning is on Friday 13th March. We would love to welcome you: www.ruperthouse.org/open-events #aitrend #ai #RupertHouse #RupertHouseSchool
