I am delighted to welcome you to SVS Foundation Connect, a website to bring together all aspects of Sutton Valence School’s community. The SVS Foundation is an opportunity to celebrate our community both now and in the future as we look towards our 450th anniversary in 2026. Whether you are an Old Suttonian, parent or past parent, we hope this website provides the opportunity to keep in touch with one another and with the School to provide lifetime friendships and mutual benefit.
The site has been designed to offer a wealth of resources, so please have a thorough look around. Through the 'Groups' and 'Careers' areas, there are opportunities to reconnect and offer your professional advice and support for current students. Our 'Publications' area is a useful catalogue of past magazines and literature and the 'News' section allows you to keep up to date with everything School or OS-related. I hope you enjoy the site and look forward to seeing you at the School soon.
