Welcome
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.

Testimonials
“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.”

Year 3 had a fantastic geology workshop with @fab_science as part of this term’s ‘rocks, relics and rumbles’ topic 🪨
The children compared rock samples, looked at how fossils are made, made their own fossils and watched some chemical reactions 🌋 what a fabulous morning!

‘Invasions’ memorable experience 🗡️
Last week the children were immersed in different scenarios, using their acting skills whilst handling Viking artefacts. Their imaginations were fired up as they learnt about the Viking invasion of Britain, life during that time and much more!
What a fantastic way to begin to their learning for this term’s project ‘invasions’.
If you’d like to find out more about our school and how we incorporate immersive learning to our curriculum, come along to our open day on Friday 13th September at 9am - booking via the link in bio 🔝

Summer enterprise ☀️- before the summer break we ran our termly enterprise fair 💰
Every term, each class has a budget to make and create products or design a game to play to raise money, linked to their termly project. We welcome parents to support the children by purchasing all the wonderful products - from handmade soaps and cards, to beeswax candles and keyrings.
The winning class was year 1 who raised the most money and donated all their money to charity 👏🏼

Food bank donations 🥫last year one of our charities of the year was @wandsworthfoodbank and as well as donating money raised from events that we hold throughout the year we also held food bank donation drives with our pupil charity committee.
Each year group was tasked with donating different products and we went along to the foodbank to find out how they register all their donations (shopping trolleys are weighed!), how they store and distribute their donations and all about the amazing work that they do.
Thank you @wandsworthfoodbank for letting us visit
