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 Pre Prep Nursery children have been busy practising their field activities during PE lessons as excitement builds for Sports Day 🏏 🏃♀️
Held at Wimbledon Athletics Track, the children are already looking forward to competing for their houses 💙 💛 💚
We can’t wait for a fantastic day of teamwork and sporting fun! 🤩

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 ✨
We can’t wait to hear all about the rest of their adventures when the return tomorrow 😊

This term, Year 1 and 2 have been focusing on mindfulness as part of their weekly enrichment.
The children began by creating their own mindfulness booklets, exploring themes of calmness and wellbeing 📖 🌱
So far, they’ve enjoyed
🧘♀️ 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 🎨
It’s a wonderful opportunity for the children to slow down, recharge and explore different ways to support their wellbeing 💙

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 🏫 🌳

🥕 🥔 Ready, steady…..grow
Our Pre Prep Nursery children are enjoying their new topic, ready, steady, grow and exploring where food comes from and discovering the world of vegetables.
Inspired by the story Oliver’s Vegetables, they’ve been chatting about their favourite vegetables and about trying new foods.
This week, the children became little chefs, peeling, chopping and cooking their very own delicious vegetable soup 🧑🍳 👩🍳 🥣
And they’ve also been busy in the mud kitchen, creating their own ‘soups’ through play!
Hands on learning, developing new skills and encouraging healthy eating 🍽️

The start of the term means it’s time for our children to dive into their new projects, starting with a memorable experience!
Year 4 launched their Misty Mountains, Winding Rivers topic with a trip the banks of the River Thames, exploring the living things that inhabit it, examining pollution and learning about the river’s key features 🌊 🔍
A fantastic hands on way to kick start their learning for the term.
