Welcome to Wandsworth Preparatory School! We are a close knit community driven by a shared vision and unwavering commitment to excellence. Our small school is nestled near the edge of Wandsworth Common and the children benefit greatly from the beautiful natural environment surrounding our school.
At Wandsworth Preparatory, our vision is clear: we aspire for our pupils to be confident individuals with a real passion for learning. We champion academic success alongside the development of character, fostering a deep-rooted respect and empathy for others. Pupils at our school are happy to take risks, try new things and hone their skills and talents.
“My teacher is lovely.
She always helps me and gives me tips to work things out on my own.
She plans exciting projects and teaches them in a fun way.”
”Not only has my son made excellent progress in both English and Maths but I also love that he spends time learning outside in the Forest. I truly believe that Forest School contributes to his general good health and well-being.”
“Wandsworth Prep provides a fantastic curriculum which makes the children very enthusiastic about learning. We were very impressed with the end of term delivery of the projects and to see the active engagement of the children. Forest School is a definite positive as the children love being outdoors and learning at the same time.”
📖 ✨ Our annual Poetry Cafe brought the whole school together to celebrate National Poetry Day. From funny verses to thoughtful reflection, every child in the school learnt and performed a poem on stage in front of their parents and friends - a wonderful showcase of creativity and confidence.
Performing in front of others helps our pupils grow in confidence, develop communication skills and pride. We’re so proud of our all our pupils 💙

🌳 🛝 Our Reception and Pre Prep Nursery children loved their walk to the local park this week, as part of their Me and My Community project.
From slides to climbing, our youngest learners enjoyed playing together and spotting signs of nature.
Exploring the local area helps them discover the spaces and places that make up their world. Next stop the library 📚

Science and sunshine = the perfect combination ☀️ 🧪
Our year 4 scientists had a blast in this week’s workshop with @fab_science. They explored changing states and the fascinating world of solids, liquids and gases - and made their own ice cream to cool off in the sun 🍦 ☀️ 🧊
There was also plenty of excitement around dry ice - with fog, bubbles and lots of ‘wow’ moments 🔬
Hands on learning has never tasted or looked so good!
