At Wandsworth Prep, every project starts with an exciting Memorable Experience designed to spark curiosity and inspire a love of learning.
At the beginning of each half term, our children take part in an experience linked to their new project. Whether itβs welcoming a visiting speaker, heading off on a school trip, or taking part in an engaging hands-on workshop, these experiences bring learning to life from day one.
By immersing children in their new topic, we ignite their imagination, encourage questions and create meaningful connections that inspire deeper learning throughout the term.
Because the best learning doesnβt just happen in the classroom.

βοΈπ Celebrating our Enterprise success! πβοΈ
Alongside all their hard work this week, our children have been enjoying some well-earned class treats after the success of our recent Enterprise Day. π
From bowling at Gravity π³ and pitch and putt in the sunshine β³ to playing in the park with an ice cream π¦, the children have made the most of the beautiful weather while celebrating their teamwork, creativity and entrepreneurial spirit.
A fantastic way to round off a successful term and create even more special memories together! πβ¨

ππ‘ Enterprise! π‘π
From seed bombs and tie-dye bags to potions, keyrings and more, each class designed and created products linked to their termly projects before selling them to friends across the school. π±π¨π§ͺβ¨
After a busy morning of buying and selling, the children counted up their costs and income to calculate their profits across the three enterprise fairs this yearππ°
Their profits will be spent on a class treat, with rewards ranging from a trip to Gravity for bowling to ice cream treats. π¦π³
A fantastic way to develop creativity, teamwork, problem-solving and entrepreneurial skills. Well done, everyone! ππ
