A Sense of Community At Arnold House

Parnterships_Litter picking Canons Park2

At Arnold House, we believe that a strong sense of community is essential to a boy’s development—academically, socially, and emotionally. From the moment they join us, our pupils become part of a wider network that supports, challenges, and inspires them.

Parents’ Association

Building Connections With Parents And Families

Our vibrant Parents’ Association plays a central role in school life, helping to build strong connections among families and contributing to a warm, inclusive atmosphere. Meanwhile, our alumni network offers ongoing inspiration and support, as former pupils return to share their experiences and remain part of the Arnold House journey.

Partnerships

Forging Partnerships Across The Community

We maintain close ties with local girls’ schools, including Queen’s College Prep and Sarum Hall, offering opportunities for boys to collaborate through joint events, concerts, and workshops—fostering mutual respect and confidence in social settings.

Service to others is a key part of our ethos. Whether through long-standing partnerships with local charities such as St John’s Hospice or through food bank drives and national campaigns, boys learn the value of compassion and community engagement from an early age.

Our partnerships also extend to academic and pastoral support. Through Oppidan Education, boys develop essential life skills such as confidence, oracy, and resilience. Our affiliation with Tooled Up Education provides both parents and staff with expert-led resources on wellbeing, mental health, and parenting in today’s world.

Together, these relationships form a rich, supportive framework that helps boys to grow into thoughtful, grounded and capable young men—ready for the next stage of their lives.

Alumni

Membership To The Arnold Society

Membership is lifelong and free after leaving Arnold House. Our Alumni of “old boys” still plays a critical role in the growth and success of the school. Through fundraising and events our alumni help foster the next generation of Arnold House boys.
