The school has four houses: Arundel, Bodiam, Carisbrooke and Dover. Each form group is made up of members from one house. Pupils can change house throughout their time at the school as they change form groups.
The clubs range from Design, Sciences, Politics and Debating to Sports and recreation (e.g. Sailing, Duke of Edinburgh Award). A team from the school won first prize in the Epsom, Ewell and Banstead Schools' Enterprise Challenge 2008.
The School has rugby, tennis and cricket pitches. There are also cricket nets and athletics facilities. The school has a multi-purpose Sports Hall complex.
Sporting fixtures in a wide range of sports are played against other independent schools such as Charterhouse, City of London Freemen's School, Halliford School, St Paul's, King's College School, Epsom College and Reigate Grammar School.
The newest building in the school is the music pavilion opened by Sampha, a notable alumnus of the school, in 2017. The senior school previously used the Junior School music department on the lower floor of Glyn House but their music department is now easily accessible on the grounds of all of their other buildings. The music pavilion is also devoted to the school's many bands, choirs and solo artists.
