Wandsworth Preparatory School seeks to sketch a roadmap to future success, instilling a growth mindset from the minute children walk in the door.
High academic standards are achieved under supportive and well-qualified teaching staff. Our pupils are encouraged to develop as individuals with different abilities, tastes and interests, with a “can-do” attitude without neglecting the need for respect for others and core values.
A full range of academic pursuits and extra-curricular activities are open to all pupils.

Thank you to Adam from @blvuegroup who ran two days of hands on coding workshops, our children loved every minute!
From programming their own games to testing how cars respond to different colour coding command pads to navigate their car all the way around a book using only coding ...instructions 🚗 🟦 🟩 🟧 it’s been a fun packed two days!
The children explored sequencing, logic and problem solving in a fun and creative way. These sessions are a fantastic way to build confidence and spark excitement for digital learning.

📚Reading sits at the heart of our curriculum and our much loved school library plays a key role in nurturing confident, curious and enthusiastic readers.
Each week, children enjoy dedicated library sessions with their class, giving them a chance to explore new stories, discover ...different authors and choose a new book to enjoy ✨
Our beautiful library and the system that supports it was generously provided by our wonderful PTA 🙌
The library is also a calm and cosy space used for small group sessions, 1 to 1 reading and our LAMDA drama classes.
From picture books to chapter adventures, our shelves are full of opportunities to spark imagination and inspire a love of reading from a young age, to lay the foundation for long term academic success 📖
