AdminHistory | Sutton High School was opened on 17 January 1884 at Park House, Cheam Road, with 80 girls under headmistress Margaret Whyte. Initially there was also a boarding house at 4 Albion Road but this was no longer attached to the school by 1909. In 1911 Fernwood House became as the Junior School. Between the Wars the main building was extended. In 1930 the 2nd form moved to 'The Homestead' in Grove Road. In the 1930s the school provided a domestic sciences course for older pupils. In 1932 the upper juniors moved into Suffolk House and the lower juniors were transferred to the Homestead. In 1935 Suffolk House was extended to join the main building. Further buildings were also added to the site, the Science block in 1971, a swimming pool in 1972, the Garden building in 1990, and the Dene Sixth Form block (formerly the Dene Hotel) was opened in 2002. |
