Families who join Tower House often send their daughters to Old Vicarage School in Richmond, with whom we have a very close relationship, with both sets of pupils benefitting from the best of both worlds. As well as our term dates and key events being arranged in parallel, every term we arrange many joint academic workshops, social events and arts productions with OVS.

For any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We pride ourselves on enabling boys to settle in quickly. The small nature of the school means that new pupils and their families integrate easily into their classes and the wider community.

Before starting life at Tower House, we have a detailed summer induction programme for new Reception boys. For older pupils, we also recommend that the boy comes into school for a morning to spend time with their new classmates in the term preceding their start at school.

All staff take the time to make sure that new boys feel part of each class and are supported not only in their learning but in all areas of school life. Each child is assigned a couple of ‘buddies’ to take care of them during their first few weeks of school and there is regular contact between parents and their son’s Head of Year. We also ensure that parents are quickly integrated into the Tower House community with support from our parent’s association, Friends of Tower House (FOTH).

We welcome boys from a number of excellent nurseries in the area and have a close relationship with each of them. We would be very happy to talk through the local options with you. For more information, please contact our Head of Admissions, Caroline Booth (admissions@thsboys.org.uk).
