📣 💭 Parent Testimonial ✨
We understand the juggle of busy family life, which is why we guarantee every child a space at wraparound, open until 6pm and included in our fees.
Our wraparound is run by our own dedicated staff, so the children are always cared for by familiar faces that they know and trust.
It’s just one of the many ways we support our families - hear from one of our parents about their experience at our school.
If you’d like to find out more, we have limited spaces available for a September 2026 start.

Enterprise 💰
At the end of every term our school transforms into a buzzing enterprise fair and before Easter it was no different.
Each class is a given a budget at the beginning of the year and they design, create and sell their own products. This term there were soaps, keyrings, plant pots and more on offer.
Linked to the term’s project, this hands on experience teaches the children all about creativity, teamwork, selling and money management - all while having fun along the way ✨

🍰 Ready, Steady, Bake! 🧑🍳
We had a fantastic Easter Bake Sale this week and the entries were incredible! From colourful cupcakes to beautiful decorated bakes, the children (and their parents!) did a brilliant job!
Huge congratulations to our house winners, runners up and of course, our overall star baker! Ms Stearn enjoyed judging (and tasting!) the entries.
All the cakes were sold at the end of the school day, raising money for our wonderful WPS PTA and the fantastic work they do to support our school community 💙

🌳 Forest school is a much loved part of life at Wandsworth Prep. From Pre Prep Nursery upwards, all our children visit Wimbledon Common weekly for half of the year, as part of our enrichment curriculum.
