A great deal has been achieved in the last five years. We have built up a tremendous team of teachers who are excellent in their field. Our knowledgeable and experienced staff have been joined by a new Head of English who is taking the boys’ literacy into a completely different hemisphere. We have a new Deputy Head, Head of Music and IT, Junior School Coordinator and Drama teacher - all appointments have impacted on the school hugely and has lifted an already fine school into an excellent one. Our new hall/theatre has been finished for some while now and is the superb multi purpose performance space that we were promised. We have new computers throughout the school, interactive whiteboards, an intranet system which allows boys contact with each other and with staff and staff can also message their colleagues. We have home school links, homework on line, syllabi on line. The music department now boasts a fantastic series of concert programmes, with the wind band, jazz band, guitar ensemble, choir, orchestra. We have put on four major drama productions, ‘Sweeney Todd’, ‘The Importance of Being Ernest’, ‘The Little Shop of Horrors’ and ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’.

Our sporting success continues also, with a formidable list of fixtures and an impressive number of successes against much larger schools. Fencing is an increasingly popular option for our boys We currently have an U11 and U13 squad who compete against other schools and in regional competitions. In 2007 a Year 6 pupil became the national U12 Prep school champion in Foil.

Academically we have had 100% success every year in getting boys into their future schools. In the last three years for example, the results have been as pleasing as they always are and our boys went to the following schools:-

Winchester College, St Paul’s School, King’s College, Hampton, Dulwich College, Charterhouse, Marlborough College, Harrow, Tonbridge, Epsom College, The Harrodian, Cranleigh, Bradfield College, Reeds, Stowe, Latymer, Eton, Millfield

Jackie Compton Howlett
Head Teacher

I have now been the Chair of Governors at Tower House School for 3 years and together with the Board of Governors, we have seen a huge improvement across the whole curriculum offered at the School. Not only has the Head, Jackie Compton-Howlett and her team achieved outstanding results at all levels and in particular at CE examinations in an increasingly competitive world but there is a real upbeat feel about every activity the boys undertake at all ages. The calendar of events and activities from sport to school trips, from school plays to choir visits, from charity raising to ski trips are all undertaken with zest and enthusiasm to allow the boys to develop their skills and confidence. The social responsibility programme, including the Dan Phillips Award, is exceptional for a school with such young boys. ICT has developed particularly well over the recent years with Interactive Whiteboards across the junior department and exceptional facilities throughout the school. All this has been achieved within the ethos of Tower House. On behalf of the Head, the Governors are proud that Tower House continues to prepare all the boys well for the challenges ahead.

The School has embraced the many changes that are being continually asked in the teaching world and the School has adapted readily to the increasing demands and standards that are set. The Governors are kept well up to speed on all that is not only happening at the School but regularly meet to debate, decide and promote initiatives that come forward. We are always mindful of the need to look closely at the future to maintain the very high standards that have been achieved and we are pleased to have seen the success of the Head and the Staff without losing any of the traditions and highest standards held throughout the whole School.”
