Surbiton High School is part of United Learning, a large and growing group of schools aiming to offer a life changing education to children and young people across England.

We reward our staff: with wide career opportunities – between Primary and Secondary, Academy and Independent – better pay, benefits, and ultimately the satisfaction of helping every child at each of our schools to succeed and reach their full potential.
