Learning Everyday

The Sussex House year is comprised of many high-profile events. We spread these events across our academic year, divided into 3 terms: Michaelmas, Lent and Summer.

Spiritual Life

The spiritual life of the school is an important, enriching element. All boys study Religious Education, attend Assemblies which include prayers, and a church service on Friday morning at nearby St. Simon Zelotes Church. The religious ethos of the school is Anglican, but boys of all denominations and religions are welcomed. Visiting speakers give talks at a series of lunchtime meetings.

Activites Committee

The Activities Committee consists of various parents and members of staff who organise an annual Christmas Party and Fair and a Summer Auction, both of which support the Arts and Sports Fund (which helps finance a wide range of extra-curricular activity) and other special projects. Parents who are interested in joining the Committee or assisting with their events are invited to meet the Head of Committee.

Old Cadogans

The family atmosphere of the school is enhanced by the fact that many old boys keep in close touch. Old Cadogans are invited to regular reunions and receive a copy of The Cadogan magazine for five years after leaving.

A number of Old Cadogans have distinguished themselves in the Arts.
