Shrewsbury House School, commonly referred to as SHS or Shrewsbury House, is an independent day preparatory school for boys aged 7 to 13, in Surbiton at the edge of Greater London close to the Surrey border, its historic county, in England.
[2] Established in 1865 it is among the minority of extant Preparatory Schools founded before the year 1900.
[4] The school has been an educational trust since 1979 administered by a Board of Governors some of whom are among its trustees.
In 1910 the School moved to Haulkerton, a large Victorian Arts and Crafts mansion dating, from the mid-nineteenth century, on Ditton Hill.
For the next 70 years, the School was operated by a series of private owners, most notably Henry Hamilton-Miller, who gave the School his family coat of arms and the motto Alta Peto.
