“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.

🥇 First house activity of the term and the competition was fierce 💥
Our school houses brought the spirit, the teamwork, and the friendly competition to our house day on Friday.
They ate lunch together in their houses and then ventured out to the common for a scavenger hunt, working together to find the items - such a fun afternoon building friendships, teamwork and house spirit between the year groups 💚💛💙

What a fantastic end to the spring term we had with our annual Eggstravaganza 🐣
Children could make either a vehicle to transport a boiled egg the furtherest distance down a ramp or create a transporter to hold a raw egg that could be dropped from height without breaking! The creations were fantastic and it was such a fun event for all!

Ski trip ⛷️ what a fantastic week our upper school had on our annual ski trip!
They spent a week in Italy, skiing, bonding with their friends and enjoying a trip away from home. Many had never skied before and by the end of the week were going down the red runs with confidence! 👏

🇬🇧 Year 1 enjoyed a school trip into the city on the Uber boat. The children were buzzing with excitement as they sailed along the Thames, immersing themselves in their activity books, which enhanced their understanding of the sights.
They learnt all about the sights and came back to the classroom and created writing pieces, sharing their personal reflections and detailed accounts of their trip.
World book day 🌍 📚
What a fantastic day we’ve had celebrating world book day. Both children and staff dressed up as their favourite book characters.
The day started off with our annual ‘catwalk’ in front of the parents and then parents were invited into the classes to read with their children.
The outfits were brilliant and it’s been great to hear all about everyone’s favourite book 📖
This week Year 5 and 6 visited @thepoppyfactory where poppies have been made since the late 1920s.
The visit began with an informative talk and video on the history of the poppy as a symbol of remembrance, and finished with the children being given the opportunity to make traditional poppies.
This ties in with their topic of the new term ‘Britain at War’. Our memorable experiences always take place at the start of the term and is a great way to ignite the children’s enthusiasm and inspire them to learn more.
Sport at Wandsworth Prep ⚽️ 🧗 🏊 🏑 🥅
As well as our #PE lessons during the week which are held at school and at the Wandle Recreation Centre, this term our children have also had swimming lessons, sports fixtures (tag rugby, football, netball and hockey) with other local schools and also had weekly climbing a sessions @parthian_climbing_ldn. We can’t wait for next term’s #sport!
What an experience 🧭
This week year 5 and 6 enjoyed a fascinating talk and tour of @dulwichcollege, viewing some of the school’s 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 🐘
