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.”
🌟What a fantastic first day for our Pre-Prep Nursery children yesterday! 🌟
The children settled in brilliantly and enjoyed exploring the classroom and outdoor areas. From painting seaside scenes 🎨 and pirate adventures in the role play section 🏴☠️ to sharing books 📚 and playing outside on the bikes and with the construction area 🦺, there was lots of fun to be had.
They also got busy with their learning, matching CVC words to pictures, completing missing numbers on 1-10 number charts, and enjoying their 1:1 reading sessions. 🔤📖🔢
A wonderful first day full of learning and play and making the most of the sunshine ☀️ ! ✨🌈
We have limited spaces for a September start, if you’d like to visit the school please get in touch with admissions@wandsworthprep.com

🇫🇷 ✨ Year 5 had a fantastic residential in France last week, enjoying five packed days full of culture, history and adventure! 🌍💙
During their trip, the children:
📍 Visited the Lochnagar Crater and German cemetery, reflecting on the lives lost during the war
🪖 Explored the Somme trenches, where history truly came to life
🛍️ Practised their French while shopping in local markets and shops
🏖️ Enjoyed time together on the beach
🐌🍫 Visited both a snail farm and a chocolate factory… any guesses which was the favourite?! 😄
It was a wonderful experience where the children showed great independence, maturity and curiosity, creating memories with their friends to end the half term. 🌟

Year 3 and Year 4 are currently away at @pgl.adventures and having a brilliant time!
They’ve thrown themselves into a range of activities, from blindfolded orienteering, where teamwork and communication were key, to climbing challenges that saw the children supporting one and bravely facing great heights 🧗♂️ 👏
It’s been wonderful to hear about the confidence, resilience and teamwork that they’ve shown and we’re so proud of them all ✨

🧘♀️ A yoga session with a qualified yoga teacher
🥋 Karate with our resident karate teacher
🌳 A mindful walk, focusing on their senses and the world around them
And to finish the term, they’ll be taking part in a calming painting workshop at a local studio 🎨

Recently, Year 5 enjoyed an exciting visit to the @sciencemuseum, where they explored their topic on forces 🧲
The children watched an incredible ‘Feel the force’ science show before taking part in a hands-on workshop, giving them the chance to investigate forces in action for themselves 💥
A fantastic opportunity to bring classroom learning to life through exploration, discovery and interactive science!

As part of their project ‘Ready, steady, grow’ our Pre Prep Nursery and Reception children enjoyed a fantastic trip to @bockettsfarm this week 🐷 🚜
The day was packed full of excitement, from feeding the animals and enjoying a tractor ride to cheering on the pig race 🐖
🌱 They also visited the kitchen garden, learning more about where food comes from, before ending the day with a special treat playing in the farm playground
Such a memorable, hands on learning experience outside the classroom, thank you @bockettsfarm for such a brilliant day!

With the drier, sunnier weather, we’ve been spending even more time on the common just across the road from school…..and the children love it! 🌳
From football matches and a spot of tennis to den building with friends, there’s plenty of fun and fresh air at break times. ⚽️ 🍃
We’re so lucky to have this amazing space on our doorstep 🏫 🌳
