Welcome
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.

Testimonials
“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.”
Extra Curriculum
Our Ethos
This week we participated in #oddsocksday to stand up against bullying and discrimination.
At WPS we have a buddy system to ensure children feel valued and supported. We also have break times where the upper school children play with the lower school children to build friendships throughout the years and creates a caring ethos in the school.

Thank you to @wandsworthfoodbank for welcoming us to their hub to drop off our harvest festival donations 🥫
Each year group was tasked with donating different items and with the help of one of our parents Rachel, who drove all the donations down for us, we went along to the foodbank to find out how they register all their donations (shopping trolleys are weighed!), how they store and distribute their donations and all about the amazing work that they do.

As part of their Blood Heart project, Years 5 and 6 went to @thameschristianschool to perform a heart dissection in the laboratories at the school 🥼 🩸
They opened up the heart using specialist scissors, exposing the atria and ventricles and were able to observe the structure of the heart too!
It was a fantastic immersive experience for the children. Thank you to @thameschristianschool and Miss Gomez for the session.

Our wraparound care has a new reading corner, full of books and a comfy carpet to sit on 📚 📕 📖
It’s been wonderful to see the children practicing their reading and the older children reading to the younger ones.
Our wraparound care is free and included in our fees and very popular with our parents and children - the children do a variety of activities including Lego, puzzles, colouring, craft and more and it’s a great place for all the children to play together 🧩

Year 3 had a fantastic geology workshop with @fab_science as part of this term’s ‘rocks, relics and rumbles’ topic 🪨
The children compared rock samples, looked at how fossils are made, made their own fossils and watched some chemical reactions 🌋 what a fabulous morning!
