The new school year resumed on Wednesday, September 3 when a large influx of registrations over the holidays meant the numbers had reached the original target of 150. This necessitated the opening of the dormitories in East which had not been needed in the first year.

On September 18 the first Speech Day took place, with recitals of poems by boys and speeches which ran to two hours from the headmaster and the guest, Viscount Middleton, as well as the prize giving. The prizes were, by modern terms, sizeable. Parish, who won both 5th form awards, earned himself £10 towards his annual fees of £30. The Rev Edward Benson, one of the founders and the headmaster of Wellington College, also donated £5 a year towards the education of a boy in the School whose parents were in difficulties.

That afternoon the first formal picture of the boys of the Surrey County School was taken on the South Field. The photograph was taken by a Mr Crane of the Surrey Photographic Company of Guildford and was referred to as a “pantoscopic”. Copies were offered to parents for 6d (2.5p) We know that other photographs were also taken of the masters, the cricket XI and a selection of the buildings. Sadly, all traces of these have long since disappeared.
Cricket resumed at the start of term and continued into early October. Two matches were played, both against scratch sides, which were both won.

At a council meeting in the Village Albert Napper, the school doctor expressed his unhappiness with his pay and the council decided to increase his remuneration to 7/- (35p) per boy per annum plus 5/- (25p) for each second visit to the school within a day. A letter was also read out from a Mr Fletcher, one of the main contractors involved in the building of the school, complaining he had made a loss on the contract.
