Sussex House is an I.A.P.S. Boys' Preparatory School of 180 pupils. It was founded in 1952 and, since 1994, has been an independent charitable trust. Sussex Houses charitable status profoundly influences its priorities.
Not dominated by any personal profit motive, it firmly maintains its size of 180 boys and 21 full-time staff, backed up by a team of visiting sports coaches and music staff. It is situated in the heart of Chelsea in a finely restored Norman Shaw house. No. 68 is one of the finest houses in Cadogan Square.
The Nicholls Hall, a converted mission hall in Cadogan Street, houses the Music School and the Gymnasium. At Sussex House we aim to create an inspirational environment in which there is a sense of striving for learning, creativity and sporting achievement and in which pupils can feel a strong sense of belonging and personal involvement.
The atmosphere is traditional yet highly imaginative and the splendid setting enhances the sense of a family within a house.
