Welcome to Wandsworth Preparatory School! We are a close knit community driven by a shared vision and unwavering commitment to excellence.Β 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.”
What an experience π§
This week year 5 and 6 enjoyed a fascinating talk and tour of @dulwichcollege, viewing some of the schoolβs Shackleton artefacts as part of their Frozen Kingdom project.
The tour culminated in the children seeing the James Caird, the boat on which Shackleton and five companions sailed 800 nautical miles to South Georgia to rescue 22 crew members stranded on Elephant Island π
If youβre looking for a nurturing school where your child will receive an excellent educational journey, individualised learning and will reach their full potential, come take a look to find out more.
Youβll meet the lower school staff, children and enjoy a tour of the school with our head, Laura Nike.

Enterprise π
We had a fantastic enterprise morning this week with our budding entrepreneurs. The children made a selection of things to sell to their parents, all linked to their termly project.
Every term, each class has a budget to make and create products or design a game to play to raise money. The money is rolled over to next term, and our enterprise winners are picked at the end of the year!

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 π₯«
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.
